Fuuz has pre-built integration Connectors


What is a Connector in Fuuz?

  1. A connector acts like a “system driver”
  2. Connectors enable seamless integration between Fuuz and external systems
  3. Connectors are pre-built and tailored for specific platforms and protocols

Purpose of Connectors

  1. Facilitate data exchange and automation across enterprise systems
  2. Reduce the complexity and time required for custom integrations
  3. Ensure reliable communication between Fuuz and third-party systems
  4. Handle the authentication and general communication between systems

Types of Connectors

  1. Tier 1 – High complexity (e.g., SAP, Oracle ERP)
  2. Tier 2 – Moderate complexity (e.g., QAD, IFS, Infor, Salesforce.com)
  3. Tier 3 – Lower complexity (e.g., Plex ERP, NetSuite, Quickbooks)
  4. Data Exchange – Generic Interfaces (e.g., EDI, FTP, File Folders)
  5. Device – Industrial Hardware (e.g., PLCs, CNCs, RFID, weigh scales)

Tiered Connector System

  1. Tier 1 – Complex APIs, high maintenance, deep integration logic
  2. Tier 2 – Balanced complexity, fewer APIs, easier to maintain
  3. Tier 3 – Simple APIs, standard communication methods
  4. Tiering connectors helps customers understand integration effort and support level
  5. Fuuz maintains the connectors themselves, customers maintain their own individual integrations

Data Exchange Connectors

  1. Designed for generic data flows
  2. Examples: EDI trading partners, FTP Folders, shared file directories
  3. No specific implementation logic – just point of exchange

Device Connectors

  1. Connect Fuuz to physical industrial devices.
  2. Examples:
    1. PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers)
    2. CNCs (Computer Numerical Control machines)
    3. CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines)
    4. RFID, AGVs, Weigh Scales, etc.
  3. Enable real-time data collection and machine-level automation
  4. Typical industrial protocols supported like:
    1. Modbus/TCP
    2. EthernetIP
    3. HTTP
    4. MQTT
    5. OPCUA
    6. Others
