What nextova offers
Two focused system paths
Automated stretch-wrapping systems — Purchase a machine for direct shipment or add application review, installation coordination, commissioning, operator training, and integration support.
SCADA & controls systems — Add weighing, setpoints, HMI visibility, alarms, valve or equipment control, and data capture to an existing process.
Right-sized support — Choose the system only or engage nextova for the field and integration services your application requires.
Project experience
Automated weighing & batch control
A honey distributor in Southern California was losing valuable product to recurring overfills during long manual production runs. nextova helped deploy a right-sized controls solution that monitors container weight in real time and automatically closes the product valve when the selected target is reached.

Project wins
Business outcomes and system capabilities
Reduced costly product giveaway
Automatic valve shutoff at the selected target helps limit overfills that add up across long production runs.
More consistent fill weights
Real-time weighing and automatic shutoff reduce reliance on operator timing and judgment from container to container.
Flexible operator control
The touchscreen HMI provides real-time weight and system status with 30 lb, 60 lb, and custom setpoints plus manual start/stop control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does nextova do?
nextova helps manufacturers and distributors improve end-of-line operations and implement practical controls and SCADA solutions. We focus on well-scoped projects that solve a measurable operational problem.
Can nextova connect with existing equipment, SCADA, or ERP systems?
Yes. We scope data and control interfaces for existing equipment and business systems, including weight, dimension, status, labeling, and production data. Compatibility is confirmed during assessment before the project is quoted.
How does a project start?
We begin with a process review or site assessment to understand the current operation, target outcome, constraints, interfaces, and expected return. Then nextova defines the scope, required partners, acceptance criteria, and budget before implementation.

Read MoreBuilt to close the automation gap
nextova grew from a manufacturers’ representative agency into a focused automation company after founder Joe Ratterman saw the same gap repeatedly: growing manufacturers had valuable, well-defined opportunities to automate, but their projects were often underserved by traditional integration models.
We lead with the operation, bring together the right equipment and specialists, and keep the scope tied to measurable value.
