What New Frontier Technologies does

New Frontier Technologies (NFT) is a privately-held U.S. industrial automation and IT systems integrator organized as a Kansas LLC. The firm designs, builds, programs, commissions, and supports control systems for industrial operators, combining Operational Technology (SCADA, PLC/HMI, machine motion and machine vision, safety instrumentation) with Information Technology (cyber security, industrial networking, cloud and on-prem systems integration). Core offerings include end-to-end project integration, ongoing managed services delivered from an in-house Remote Operations Center, UL 508A-certified control panel fabrication, and a small set of productized packaged applications (Smart LACT for crude oil custody transfer, Smart CPF for central processing facilities, NFT Alarm Distributor). NFT is authorized as a FANUC systems integrator and has executed enterprise-scale Aveva Enterprise SCADA deployments, including an 18-month, 20,000+ point midstream Oil & Gas pipeline build.

NFT's primary customer base is the Oil & Gas sector (Upstream, Midstream, Downstream), with secondary verticals in Food & Beverage, Discrete Manufacturing, Process Manufacturing, and Agriculture & Cultivation. Revenue is generated through professional services (project-based systems integration), managed services (continuous support delivered on-site or remotely), hardware sales (UL 508A panel fabrication), and a thinner slice of subscription/recurring software revenue from packaged applications. Engagements are enterprise field sales driven, scoped via custom project quotes under multi-year contracts. The company operates from an Overland Park, Kansas headquarters (9082 Bond Street) with regional offices in Houston, Texas (Gulf Coast) and Lenexa, Kansas, focused on field-service delivery to industrial clients in the central U.S. and Gulf Coast.

The firm is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, M&A activity, or named leadership outside marketing channels. No revenue, headcount, or funding totals are publicly disclosed. NFT markets itself through industry-specific solutions pages, case studies, a video library, and direct inquiry capture rather than paid acquisition channels, consistent with a focused, specialist B2B services posture rather than a mass-market SaaS model.
