umati (uni­ver­sal machine tech­no­logy inter­face) is the glob­al ini­ti­at­ive for open com­mu­nic­a­tion inter­faces for the machine build­ing indus­tries and their customers.

Machine build­ers, soft­ware pro­du­cers, com­pon­ent sup­pli­ers, and users unite in a strong com­munity to pro­mote the use of open, stand­ard­ized inter­faces based on OPC UA com­pan­ion spe­cific­a­tions. umati ensures their identic­al imple­ment­a­tion, provides a plat­form to exchange exper­i­ences, cre­ates vis­ib­il­ity in the mar­ket, and provides hands-on demon­stra­tion of added val­ues at https://umati.app.

connecting the world of machinery

There’s no better connection than a common language – which is also true for machinery.

umati facil­it­ates the data exchange between machines, com­pon­ents and install­a­tions and their integ­ra­tion into cus­tom­er- and user-spe­cif­ic IT eco­sys­tems — eas­ily, seam­lessly and securely.

umati is based on OPC UA, which provides a com­mu­nic­a­tion frame­work between devices on the shop floor. Stand­ard­ized data mod­els, which are defined in OPC UA Com­pan­ion Spe­cific­a­tions, can be eas­ily expan­ded by cus­tom­er or man­u­fac­turer spe­cif­ic data. For machinery, around 25 Com­pan­ion Spe­cific­a­tions for vari­ous tech­no­lo­gies, such as Robot­ics, Meas­ure­ment Sys­tems, Plastics and Rub­ber Machinery, Wood­work­ing,   Machine Tools, etc., have been pub­lished. 30 more are under devel­op­ment. Addi­tion­ally, the cent­ral com­pan­ion spe­cific­a­tion “OPC UA for Machinery”  con­tains basic build­ing blocks which are cru­cial for the entire machine and plant engin­eer­ing sec­tor, e.g., iden­ti­fic­a­tion, job man­age­ment, energy monitoring.

»Con­nectiv­ity is the key to unlock­ing the full poten­tial of data in man­u­fac­tur­ing. With umati, we enable easy, secure, and seam­less inter­ac­tion between machinery and soft­ware through open, stand­ard­ized inter­faces and ‘plug and play’ func­tion­al­ity. This not only sim­pli­fies integ­ra­tion and com­mu­nic­a­tion but also builds a found­a­tion of trust and reli­ab­il­ity for a smarter, data-driv­en economy.«

Markus Kar­en, konzept­park GmbH

»umati is a great way of con­nect­ing dif­fer­ent machines and con­trol sys­tems simply and cost-effect­ively for cre­at­ing transparency.«

Oliv­er Gos­sel, Röders GmbH

»Com­mon inform­a­tion mod­els cre­ated through col­lab­or­a­tion among key stake­hold­ers in indus­tri­al digit­al­iz­a­tion is essen­tial to enable inform­a­tion inter­op­er­ab­il­ity, reuse and augmentation.«

Ant­o­nio Conati Bar­baro, COO Alleantia

»In my opin­ion, stand­ard­iz­a­tion is cru­cial for the entire mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing sec­tor in order to quickly imple­ment digit­iz­a­tion ini­ti­at­ives. From that point of view, the focus on the entire mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing sec­tor is right and important.«

Dr. Daniel Groß­mann, 247FactoryNet

“Formats and pro­to­cols, open domain stand­ards for dif­fer­ent types of pro­cesses, machines and equip­ment are cru­cial to solve the inter­op­er­ab­il­ity challenge.”

Véro­nique Dos­sogne, Sir­ris

»Stand­ards such as umati are an import­ant pre­con­di­tion for the sus­tain­able imple­ment­a­tion of digit­al trans­form­a­tion — because com­mon stand­ards help to man­age the com­plex­ity of today and tomorrow.«

Chris­ti­an Josi, United Grinding

“With umati, you get the miss­ing piece of the puzzle for the real­iz­a­tion of new expan­ded product portfolios.”

Domin­ik Bas­ner, SOTEC

»This high level of col­lab­or­a­tion forms the basis of true, open inter­op­er­ab­il­ity between machines and soft­ware sys­tems, from the shop floor to the cloud.«

Hart­mut Rauen, VDMA

»Star­ted as a very small group, this ini­ti­at­ive has con­tin­ued to grow due to the good content.«

Kon­stantin Schäfer, Kapp Niles

»Mak­ing umati avail­able for the whole man­u­fac­tur­ing industry is one of the reas­ons to join the com­munity. A stand­ard­ized open inter­face makes it much easi­er to build new applic­a­tions for data analytics.«

Jens Petri, SMS digital

»As a man­u­fac­turer of high-qual­ity machin­ing cen­ters, we, as a strong interest group, are facing the chal­lenge of digit­al­iz­a­tion by pulling togeth­er with the umati interface.«

Pas­cal Schröder, Chiron Group
