# Connect

> Connect PLCs, machines and enterprise systems through the Fuuz Gateway: OPC UA, MTConnect, Modbus, MQTT and EtherNet/IP, with outbound-only connections.

Connect what you have


Fuuz works inside the environment you already run, across IT and OT. On the floor, native drivers and open protocols reach PLCs, machines and devices. Across the enterprise, pre-built connectors reach the business, cloud and data systems you choose to bring in.

Faster and lower risk than stitching together point solutions. Fewer integrations mean less technical debt and a smaller attack surface.

Plant floor

- **Drivers and protocols** EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, Fanuc, MTConnect, TCP/IP and more.
- **Devices** Scanners, scales, printers and RFID.
- **Custom connectors** Don't see yours? We build connectors to your specs.
The Fuuz Gateway

## Edge Connectivity Built For The Plant

The Fuuz Gateway sits at the edge of your network and connects plant-floor equipment to the platform.

### Outbound connections only

The gateway opens no inbound ports. It reaches out to the platform, so your network team is not asked to punch holes in the firewall.

### Store-and-forward

When the network drops, the gateway buffers data locally and forwards it when the connection returns, so a drop on the floor does not become lost data. Expect 4 or more hours of buffering in a hybrid deployment; the exact time depends on your implementation.

### Edge processing and local UNS

Pre-process streaming data at the edge with data flows. Create topics on the gateway's edge connections to build a local Unified Namespace at the plant; those topics are also visible in your Fuuz enterprise.

### Tag reads and writes

Monitor tags, write setpoints back and trigger printing or PLC actions from the platform, under the same permissions as everything else.

### Runs where you need it

Deploy the gateway on Windows or in Docker, close to the equipment it connects. Deploy and manage many gateways from one Fuuz tenant, with automatic updates.

### AI at the edge

An edge MCP driver lets local language models work with plant data without sending it off-site.

Enterprise systems

## Bring In The Systems You Choose

Not every customer needs every connector. Fuuz connects to the enterprise systems that matter to the outcome you are building, whether that is an ERP, a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, a supply chain or carrier platform, a data warehouse or a line-of-business application.

Connections are built as data flows on the platform, not as point-to-point middleware. They are versioned, monitored and governed like everything else, and the data they bring in lands in the same model your applications use.

- ERP, PLM and quality systems
- Carriers, e-commerce and electronic data interchange (EDI)
- Cloud data platforms and databases
- HR, CRM and finance applications
- REST, SOAP, files, SFTP and direct database connections
Fewer integrations, less risk

**Without a platform** Each application keeps its own connections to the PLCs and the ERP. Every connection is another thing to secure and maintain.

**With Fuuz** Systems connect once, to the platform. Applications read from the model, so the integration count stays flat as you add applications.

Enterprise orchestration

## Orchestrate Work Across Systems, Sites And Teams

Fuuz runs event-driven workflows that span the plant floor and the enterprise, so a change in one place triggers the right action everywhere else.

### Event-driven

React the moment something changes on the floor or in the enterprise.

### Cross-system

One workflow can read and write across ERP, MES, WMS and more.

### Human steps

Approvals, tasks and notifications where people are needed.

### AI agents

Let agents take governed action within your policies.

### Monitored

See every run, failure and retry.

### Versioned

Workflows released through the same lifecycle as applications.

Modernize on your terms. Every system you retire is one less integration to maintain.
