Frequently asked questions
- What does NextGen build for software for the modern factory floor?
- Connect machines, operators, and ERPs into a single source of truth — with dashboards line leaders actually use. Typical scope covers mes and shop-floor execution platforms, erp integrations (sap, netsuite, dynamics), iiot data ingestion (opc ua, mqtt, modbus), computer vision qa and defect detection — delivered by senior U.S.-based engineers who stay on the engagement through production and handover.
- Which software for the modern factory floor projects are the best fit?
- The strongest fits are real-time oee dashboard, vision-based defect inspection, digital work instructions. If the work touches regulated data, legacy integrations, or a delivery deadline you can't miss, that's exactly where an embedded senior pod pays for itself.
- How quickly can a team start?
- Most engagements begin within 7-14 days of the scoping call. We pre-vet engineers by domain, so you get someone who has shipped comparable systems instead of a generalist learning on your budget.
- How is the engagement priced?
- Fixed-scope builds are quoted after a short discovery and architecture sprint, and dedicated pods run on transparent monthly rates. You own the code and cloud accounts either way.
- Is delivery onshore?
- Yes. Delivery is 100% U.S.-based on Eastern-time hours, with senior leadership in the NYC metro available for on-site working sessions, architecture reviews, and stakeholder demos.
