About VDW-Forschungsinstitut e.V.
umati (universal machine technology interface) is a community of the machine building industries and their customers for the promotion and adoption of open, standardized interfaces based on OPC UA. umati facilitates the data exchange between machines, components and installations and their integration into customer- and user-specific IT ecosystems – easily, seamlessly and securely. An initiative to exploit new potentials for the production of the future – worldwide.
The umati vision
Connectivity is key for all machinery in the 21st century. It means getting data in and out of devices and software systems. For the benefit of users of machinery, and the machine building industries themselves, umati tackles this issue by promoting open standards throughout the world.
umati serves to exploit new potentials for manufacturing of the future by:
Simplifying the effort for machine connection to customer-specific IT infrastructures and ecosystems.
Simplifying the effort for machine-to-machine and machine-to-device communication
Reducing costs through faster realization of customer specific projects.
The umati mission
Providing visibility and joint, cross-industry marketing for the simplest possible connectivity in the machinery sector.
Aims primarily at customers and end users = buyers and users of machines, installations and software from the machine manufacturers
Aims secondarily at companies in the machinery sector itself, e.g. to enforce interoperability across control platforms, to establish horizontal connectivity, to be prepared for the future by standardizing and using open interfaces and to save money and effort to improve the products.
Is not a stand-alone OPC UA Companion Specification – the use of OPC UA Companion Specifications is the basis of umati.
Providing the user promise of “plug and play” through guidelines for a “unified” OPC UA Companion Specification implementation for products of the machinery industries.
Will be established as a product label in the long run to signal trust and reliability to the end customers (“We as machine builders take care that you, dear customer, can easily get data from your machines”)
