What is NEX·U·®?

What is NEX·U·®? NEX·U·® provides you with the control and the information you require to make your operation more profitable. You will be able to account for every drop of lubricant and other service fluid used.

On top of this, you will carry an efficient inventory control, with automatic alerts and fluid reordering when needed, eliminating operations downtime.

For almost any lubricant usage or operation size, with today’s high cost for these fluids, NEX·U·® quickly pays for itself. Once it is paid for, savings go right to the operation’s bottom line in the form of profit, profit previously lost. NEX·U·® adapts to your way of working.¨

NEX·U·® is a hybrid system that brings you all the advantages of wireless flexibility and hardwired reliability:
Wireless flexibilityHard-wired reliability
• Data can be transmitted wirelessly among the different system components, eliminating long and expensive cable runs.• A constant and reliable power source is always present to power the solenoid valves that control fluid delivery.
• Easily adds new components when required as your needs grow.• No uncharged batteries to let you down
• System uses existing Wi-Fi® networks, simplifying its installation. No need for special, custom made, network components.

• Hard-wired data transmission to avoid interferences and other obstacles which might interfere with wireless data transmission.

Installation examples

NEX·U·® provides maximum flexibility in the way the user interacts with the system, the most effective connection method and enhanced reporting capability.
Access through U·dat
CAN BUS cable (A) , transmits power and data between the U·dat keypad (1) , the U·valves (2) , the U·meter+ (3) and the U·view remote display (4).

Bluetooth ® connection is used to communicate each U·valve (2) and U·meter+ (3) with its corresponding U·vision (5) hand-held display.

CAN BUS cable (B) communicates with other NEX·U·® components. Alternatively, if the keypad (1) , is connected to the wireless network, data can be transmitted wirelessly to other NEX·U·® components.
Access through U·vision+
Power and data are transmitted using CAN BUS cable (A) between the U·valve+ (1) and the other U·valves (2) . Power to energize the solenoid valves is supplied by the U·power (3) , connected to U·valve+ (1).
PC-Laptop connection
Power and data are transmitted using CAN BUS cable (A) between the U·valve+ (1) , U·valve (2) and U·count (3) . U·count (3) is connected to U·pulser solenoid valve (4) also using CAN BUS connection.

24 V DC power is supplied by U·power (5) to U·valve+ (1) connecting using Wi-Fi ® with all system components, including any licensed terminal (6) that is connected to U·track and can be used as a virtual access keypad.
Tank monitoring using U-tank
U·tank (1) can monitor up to two tanks. Each tank can be fitted with low and high level sensors (2) or with a pressure gauge (3) for real-time control of the inventory in the tank. U·tank (1) can also control pump operation opening or closing an air solenoid valve (4) that prevents pump from running dry or air entering the oil distribution lines if there is no oil in the tanks.

U·tank (1) can also control a remote flash light or siren (5) to warn when any tank is empty. U·tank (1) can communicate with other NEX·U·® elements using Wi-Fi ® or through CAN BUS (6) wired connection.

Dealer Management System Interface

NEX·U·® can interface with most popular DMS on the market, offering an efficient bidirectional communication to integrate the transaction information workshop DMS.

Features
• Easy to use: quick and effective.
• Enhanced security: work orders are checked and validated before fluid is dispensed.
• Automation: simplifies data entering as it can be automatically downloaded from the DMS.
NEX·U·® InterfaceA bidirectional communication is established through webservice. The user enters their PIN number and the work order. DMS will prompt a message whether this information exists or not. NEX·U·® offers multiple operating modes depending on the customer needs. NEX·U·® Interface
