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. Advantages include:

  • Complimentary consulting/contract services and products (software and hardware)
  • A larger resource pool from which to draw
  • Access to specialized embedded, systems, driver, and SECS GEM protocol expertise
  • Ability to expand and reduce the team as needed (cost management)
  • "Freeing up" up of internal resources for other new or on-going projects
  • An assurance of project-specific long-term support
