What is a Connector in Fuuz?

• A connector acts like a "system driver"
• Connectors enable seamless integration between Fuuz and external systems
• Connectors are pre-built and tailored for specific platforms and protocols

Purpose of Connectors

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

Types of Connectors

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

Tiered Connector System

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

Data Exchange Connectors

• Designed for generic data flows
• Examples: EDI trading partners, FTP folders, shared file directories
• No specific implementation logic – just a point of exchange

Device Connectors

Connector type: Physical device connectors require a device driver and are added as a device connection on the Edge Gateway.

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