umati has new partner ALPHA LASER GmbH

ALPHA LASER GmbH is now part of the umati community 

What expect­a­tions do you have of Umati, what do you expect from the partnership? 

At ALPHA LASER, we devel­op sys­tems that are often integ­rated into highly spe­cial­ized pro­duc­tion envir­on­ments. We expect the UMATI part­ner­ship to sup­port seam­less com­mu­nic­a­tion between our laser weld­ing and harden­ing sys­tems and the vari­ous IT infra­struc­tures used by our cus­tom­ers. By con­trib­ut­ing to an open stand­ard, we aim to reduce integ­ra­tion bar­ri­ers and strengthen our pos­i­tion as a flex­ible, for­ward-think­ing solu­tion provider.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

UMATI helps bridge the gap between our highly cus­tom­ized laser sys­tems and the digit­al fact­ory floor. With a stand­ard­ized inter­face, we can reduce the integ­ra­tion effort for our customers—especially those work­ing in tool & mold mak­ing or pre­ci­sion engin­eer­ing with com­plex pro­duc­tion setups. Our mobile and com­pact sys­tems become even more ver­sat­ile when they can “speak the same lan­guage” as the rest of the pro­duc­tion line, increas­ing trans­par­ency and efficiency.

How do you eval­u­ate the expan­sion of the Umati ini­ti­at­ive to the entire mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing industry?

We see the expan­sion of UMATI as a stra­tegic mile­stone for mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing. For com­pan­ies like ALPHA LASER—offering spe­cial­ized sys­tems used in diverse indus­tries from med­ic­al tech­no­logy to sensor manufacturing—a uni­ver­sal com­mu­nic­a­tion stand­ard means few­er cus­tom inter­faces, lower costs, and bet­ter scalab­il­ity. It also allows smal­ler or niche sys­tem man­u­fac­tur­ers like us to plug into broad­er digit­al eco­sys­tems more easily.

About ALPHA LASER 

ALPHA LASER GmbH, foun­ded in 1994 and headquartered in Puch­heim near Munich, is an own­er-man­aged, medi­um-sized com­pany spe­cial­iz­ing in laser sys­tems for repair, pro­duc­tion weld­ing, and sur­face harden­ing. With around 130 employ­ees, we man­u­fac­ture over 600 sys­tems per year for cus­tom­ers world­wide. Our port­fo­lio ranges from open and closed mobile laser units to com­pact and auto­mated work­sta­tions tailored to industry-spe­cif­ic needs. We serve sec­tors such as tool and mold mak­ing, pre­ci­sion engin­eer­ing, med­ic­al tech­no­logy, energy, jew­elry, and the sensor industry. Known for innov­a­tion, reli­ab­il­ity, and ergo­nom­ic design, we work closely with our cli­ents and oper­ate under ISO 9001 qual­ity standards.
