Industrial pillar

Industrial AI from strategy through PLC — built by the same engineer who designs it.

Vendor-neutral architecture, honest pilots on real production data, and a runbook that survives the handover. Five focused offerings, two in-house products, one founder accountable for every line of code.

How I think about industrial work

Vendor-neutral by default, line-walked before code is written.

When a manufacturer asks me to bring AI to a line, the engagement usually starts with AI Consulting — vendor-neutral architecture before code. From there it might branch into a PLC retrofit if the cabinet needs modernizing, or a system prototype if the integration shape isn't yet defined. When the orchestration layer matters, NexusVisionOrchestrator is the platform I bring; when the vision model itself is the bottleneck, CodingNexusVision is the engine I extend.

Three principles run through all of it. Vendor-neutral by default — the orchestrator drives Maddox Edge, Estek, CodingNexusVision, or any ONNX model in the same recipe, so the architectural decision survives a vendor change. Line walk before code — I refuse to design a PLC retrofit from a Zoom call; the first invoice always covers a physical or video-attended cabinet survey. Real data in the pilot — every pilot runs on production frames the customer captured, not on the vendor's curated demo dataset, because that's where the brittleness lives.

FAQ

Industrial-pillar questions.

What does the Industrial pillar at CodingNexus cover?

Five offerings: AI Consulting, PLC / SPS Retrofit, System Prototyping, plus two products — NexusVisionOrchestrator (on-premise AI vision orchestration) and CodingNexusVision (industrial vision engine).

What does vendor-neutral mean in practice?

Architecture decisions are made on technical merit, not on hidden vendor incentives. NexusVisionOrchestrator can drive Maddox Edge, Estek, CodingNexusVision, or any ONNX model side-by-side. PLC integrations cover Siemens, Beckhoff and CODESYS natively.

Do you do safety-PLC integration?

No. Safety-PLC programming and SIL-rated systems are specialist disciplines — we bring in a partner or refer you to one. We handle the standard-PLC side and the AI/orchestration layer end-to-end.

Can you work fully on-premise without cloud connectivity?

Yes. NexusVisionOrchestrator and CodingNexusVision both run on a single industrial PC with no outbound connectivity. Updates ship as offline installers; license activation is offline.

What is a typical industrial engagement?

Most start with a 4–8 week AI Consulting engagement (vendor-neutral architecture + pilot), then either a PLC retrofit (6 weeks per line) or a system-prototyping engagement (4 weeks per concept). Volumes typically EUR 40–120k.
