Module & Application Store
Tricloud Nexus features a Module & Application Store, allowing users to deploy modules and applications across multiple edge devices seamlessly. Built upon industry standards, each module is imported into the platform as a container. To address specific use-cases, a combination of modules can be employed together as an application, providing custom solutions to meet diverse needs.
A module is a standardized and self-contained software container, that encapsulates specific functionality.
An application comprises of a collection of interdependent modules that collectively form an application or specific functionality.
Deploy modules and applications to edge
Modules and applications can be deployed to edge devices through the Tricloud Nexus Management Portal.
The platform contains a variety of prebuilt modules and applications, and the store can be expanded with additional modules through the container import function. This feature enables import of additional functionality to the platform, such as AI algorithms, custom visualization, data processing and other features. Additionally, the platform provides the Nexus SDK for custom development of modules, supporting both .NET and Python.

Modules
OPC-UA Module
Connect to Industrial automation systems using OPC-UA data connector module. Browse data and meta data for all connected PLC's or other instruments
MQTT Module
Connect any MQTT broker to integrate data into the platform. The platform support multiple MQTT broker technologies an multiple payload formats.
RTOS module
Connect RTOS based devices to edge using RTOS module. RTOS based devices can be ESP32 devices and others.
Modbus Module
The platform supports connection to legacy devices over the Modbus industrial protocol. Connect a Modbus network and collect data from multiple Modbus enabled systems.
Filetransfer module
In some cases you want to import data from a shared file store like, FTP server or file shares. This allows for integration with scientific measurement systems, or real-time processing of files directly at edge.
Image analytics module
Stream image data to edge, analyze picture or image stream, control lightening scenes dynamically, make inline quality control for fast feedback to production process on any anomalities, store image data in the cloud for further improvement of analysing algorithms. Use information to document and track quality of each produced item.
SQLite module - SQL Database on Edge
Use the opensource SQL database - SQLite to store information locally on edge device, when storing in cloud isn't necessary, thereby minimizing cloud operational cost.
Camera module
Setup live video streaming and recording from your production process, use videofeed for troubleshooting and analysis purposes integrated into production dashboards together with other relevante data about the technical installation.

Applications
OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Use our OEE app to visualize basic OEE production numbers directly on the manufacturing floor, making any drop in production performance instantly visible for production operators. Use historical data to analyze and improve overall performance.
Register downtime and analyze
Together with the OEE app, collect information on downtime reasons for each producing unit, taking production optimisation effort to a new level of transparency, for more informed and qualified decision making.
Schedule your production plan
Remove production planning paperwork, visualize planned production electronicaly directly on an edge driven application. Deploy production schedules easy and fast, and enable fast and easy rescheduling when necessary, improve communication between planning and production people. Enable easy electronic tracking of production orders.
Execute your production plan
Use this order execution app to control and start each production order on any individual production cell, making it instantly visible to all the current status on any production line, and being able to compare production data to produced product in real time, and connect all relevant production data to each individual production order.
Service management
Get control and an easy overview of all your service tasks, handle all service tasks in an easy workflow. Create service task either manually or as a consequence of an actual event in the pletform. Deploy service tasks to individual service personnel and track current status on deployed service activities. Get valuable historical data on the status of your equipment, and calculate KPI's on the state of your equipment and the performance of your technical service organisation.
Predictive maintenance
Make predictive maintenance based on realtime data, thereby optimizing the maintenance activities towards optimal performance of your equipment, and saving cost in invaluable service activities.
Spare parts overview
Get access to your sparepart inventory directly on the manufacturing floor.
Easy access to technical documentation
Integrate your technical documentation with your asset hierarchy for fast and easy access to any relevante technical documentation, can be very usefull and time saving during troubleshooting events on failed equipment. Thereby minimizing downtime and saving cost.
Instruct operators
Many production facilities still rely on a mix of automated and non automated tasks, in order to ensure highest possible quality of manual operations, an clear, updated, easy and understandable workinstruction can improve quality of work, and make it easier to reallocate production resources, reduce demand for training and thereby saving cost.
Download product recipes to production equipment
Deploy product related recipe data directly to the manufacturing floor, including BOM (Bill of Materials) but also machine and production related setpoints, improving the change over process in time and with higher repeatability and quality.
Lot traceability
Track the flow of goods through the production process, enable lot traceability, and create the basis for any regulatory compliance regarding lot traceability.
Get control of your production inventory
Track your goods through the production process, keep track on where all finnished or partly finnished goods are placed in realtime.
