umati has new partner DataArt GmbH

DataArt GmbH is now part of the umati community 

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

Umati’s vis­ion of stand­ard­ized machine com­mu­nic­a­tion aligns seam­lessly with our com­mit­ment to deliv­er­ing data and AI-driv­en Industry 4.0 solu­tions for man­u­fac­tur­ing. Through this part­ner­ship, we aim to achieve great­er inter­op­er­ab­il­ity between machines and soft­ware sys­tems, offer­ing IoT-enabled auto­ma­tion, digit­al twins for smarter pro­duc­tion, data-driv­en and pre­dict­ive main­ten­ance strategies that reduce down­time and extend equip­ment life. We’re also focused on sup­port­ing cli­ents with ret­ro­fit­ting exist­ing assets, ensur­ing they can unlock the bene­fits of next-gen­er­a­tion man­u­fac­tur­ing without start­ing from scratch. By con­trib­ut­ing to and bene­fit­ing from a strong, col­lab­or­at­ive eco­sys­tem, we will togeth­er accel­er­ate the trans­form­a­tion of factor­ies into future-ready, intel­li­gent environments.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

By provid­ing a uni­ver­sal com­mu­nic­a­tion inter­face, umati enables us to seam­lessly con­nect leg­acy equip­ment with mod­ern IoT envir­on­ments, bring­ing the bene­fits of Industry 4.0 without costly over­hauls. For our cus­tom­ers, this means great­er flex­ib­il­ity in ret­ro­fit­ting exist­ing pro­duc­tion lines, smooth­er scalab­il­ity, and improved ROI. With umati-com­pli­ant inter­faces, we enhance real-time data exchange and machine trans­par­ency. When com­bined with our expert­ise in data and AI, this drives pro­act­ive main­ten­ance, reduced down­time, and more adapt­ive man­u­fac­tur­ing envir­on­ments that can respond quickly to shift­ing mar­ket demands

How do you assess the exten­sion of the umati ini­ti­at­ive to the entire mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing sector?

Expand­ing umati to the broad­er mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing industry is a major step toward estab­lish­ing a truly uni­ver­sal com­mu­nic­a­tion stand­ard across diverse machines and sys­tems. This evol­u­tion fosters inter­op­er­ab­il­ity at scale, sim­pli­fies integ­ra­tion, and helps speed up the path toward IoT-driver, Industry 4.0 factor­ies. For stake­hold­ers across the value chain, from equip­ment man­u­fac­tur­ers to end users, it enables rich­er data flows, stronger digit­al twin imple­ment­a­tions and pre­dict­ive main­ten­ance cap­ab­il­it­ies that improve per­form­ance and reli­ab­il­ity. Ulti­mately, it lays the found­a­tion for a more con­nec­ted, AI-ready man­u­fac­tur­ing eco­sys­tem that sup­ports innov­a­tion and long-term competitiveness.
