FABNexus provides custom software development services that enable
and extend
industrial equipment
control, data collection, and automation communications capabilities:
The FABNexus technical team, led by principal
Jerry W. Rice, is based in the SF Bay Area (Silicon-Valley) and
since the early 1980's has provided application-specific machine
control and standards conformant network automation software to
a wide range of industries (most notably semiconductor,
materials, and bio-sciences). FABNexus offers expert software development and
integration services for equipment control, monitoring, data
collection
and automation. The engineering resources available from FABNexus
provide clients access to a unique
talent pool and a suite of complimentary
and customizable products. In some cases FABNexus customizable products
meet customer needs where competitive products cannot. FABNexus
can provide clients with precisely the right resources when they
are needed. FABNexus
protocol products can be used "off the shelf", or customized
to meet specific needs. The leadership team at FABNexus
has extensive experience in providing the right technology, service,
and product solutions to meet client needs. Because FABNexus provides
products and contracted services, clients can access them when needed,
which in today's cost-sensitive market is key.
In addition, FABNexus offers high performance 'portable' SECS-I and HSMS driver
libraries for all popular operating systems. We have off-the-shelf
libraries available today for Linux and Windows platforms; contact sales
for pricing and delivery options. Other platforms (such as VxWorks and the Mac OS-X) can
be supported through our cost competitive 'quick turnaround' porting program. If requested, all 'c'
language source code is available through standard licensing agreements. Our
in-house rigorous semi-automatic regression test process assures that FABNexus software
is delivered with the greatest reliability for our customers, simplifying your integration
and maximizing your customer satisfaction and in-situ performance.
Our pre-packaged SECS-I, HSMS, SECS-II PSECS
software libraries support all recent Microsoft Windows operating
systems including Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. In
addition, various versions of Linux are currently supported.
Using the right FABNexus resources (that come with
the backing of a strong technical team), reduces risk and supports
effective achievement of the clients' technical and business goals.
Using FABNexus services as an extension of, or addition to, in-house
software teams can provide significant, differentiable value to
client projects, both in the results delivered and in time-to-market.
