FRAMECAD announced Nexa on October 21, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is described as the first end-to-end production management platform designed specifically for cold-formed steel framing.
Manufacturers can feed production-ready files into the FRAMECAD manufacturing process from any design software without time-consuming file conversions.
Nexa uses real-time data and capacity management to support efficient production and quality output. Inventory management tools track materials and help maintain regulatory compliance.
The platform centralizes project data so factory and field stakeholders can collaborate in one place. Live dashboards provide real-time insights for data-driven decisions.
Workflows and resource management are intended to reduce downtime and improve productivity. The system also supports stacking, packing, and delivery staging.
Ray Bagley, director of enterprise solutions at FRAMECAD, said the industry has relied on disconnected solutions and that Nexa is meant to provide a single production management platform with open access to critical data.
FRAMECAD is based in Auckland, New Zealand. The company says it has more than 35 years of experience in steel framing building innovation and provides end-to-end steel framing systems.
