umati has new partner Cellro B.V.

Cellro B.V. is now part of the umati community

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

“We expect umati to accel­er­ate the stand­ard­iz­a­tion our industry needs,” says Arnoud de Kuijper, CEO of Cellro. “As a pro­vider of both CNC-auto­ma­tion and shop floor digit­al­iz­a­tion soft­ware, we see umati as a key ena­bler for seam­less data exchange between machines, robots and soft­ware. Our cus­tom­ers struggle daily with data silos on their shop floor. umati provides exactly what mod­ern machin­ing com­pan­ies need for true digit­al trans­form­a­tion: a reli­able found­a­tion for con­nect­ing their entire pro­duc­tion ecosystem.”

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

“umati per­fectly aligns with our vis­ion of open digit­al­iz­a­tion,” states De Kuijper. “Our Man­u­fac­tur­ing Intel­li­gence plat­form is built on open stand­ards, and umati strengthens this approach sig­ni­fic­antly. For our cus­tom­ers, this means no vendor lock-in, sim­pli­fied integ­ra­tion with exist­ing sys­tems, and faster imple­ment­a­tion of new tech­no­lo­gies. They can trust that their Cellro auto­ma­tion will com­mu­nic­ate seam­lessly with their ERP, MES, and oth­er shop floor sys­tems through umati’s stand­ard­ized interface.”

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

“The expan­sion of umati across the entire mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing industry is abso­lutely essen­tial,” emphas­izes De Kuijper. “Machin­ing com­pan­ies don’t just use CNC machines. They also rely on robots, trans­port sys­tems, meas­ur­ing tech­no­logy and pre­set­ting equip­ment. When all these sys­tems speak the same OPC UA lan­guage through umati, we finally achieve that integ­rated, smart fact­ory every­one talks about. This will give digit­al­iz­a­tion in our industry an enorm­ous boost and help com­pan­ies of all sizes stay com­pet­it­ive in today’s man­u­fac­tur­ing landscape.”
