umati has new partner FELDER KG

FELDER KG is now part of the umati community

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

Con­nectiv­ity plays a big role for us as a machine man­u­fac­turer for wood­work­ing. With UMATI, many man­u­fac­tur­ers speak a sim­il­ar lan­guage and we can integ­rate our machines more eas­ily into the exist­ing machinery of our customers.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

Through stand­ard­isa­tion, inter­faces between machines and/or IT sys­tems can be imple­men­ted more quickly and thus more cost-effect­ively. Cus­tom­ers with an interest in net­work­ing can get a quick over­view of the part­ners in the UMATI net­work for the selec­tion of their machines and systems.
The OT and IT world is grow­ing closer togeth­er and the many advant­ages of this can ensure a more effi­cient and stable pro­duc­tion process.

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

Wood­work­ing trades and industry are tak­ing rap­id steps into the future of net­work­ing. Through the sup­port of UMATI, under the umbrella of the VDW, this pro­cess can be imple­men­ted more quickly in Europe, but also inter­na­tion­ally, than link­ing vari­ous pro­pri­et­ary inter­faces of each indi­vidu­al manufacturer.
