umati has new partner Grenzebach

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

By umati we expect the com­pet­ent sup­port for the suc­cess­ful imple­ment­a­tion of stand­ard­ized machine com­mu­nic­a­tion based on OPCUA.As well as the pro­vi­sion of access to a fast grow­ing and strong net­work to get feed­back from oth­er machine build­ers and users.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

As Gren­ze­bach is very much focused on gen­er­a­tion of user bene­fits, Umati offers the required tools to enable those bene­fits. umati will also accel­er­ate the estab­lish­ment of com­pan­ion spe­cific­a­tions for the vari­ous sec­tors of the industry.

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

The expan­sion of umati through­out the entire engin­eer­ing industry is very valu­able to Gren­ze­bach as a glob­al play­er in many diver­si­fied branches like glass, build­ing mater­i­als, int­ra­lo­gist­ics, fric­tion stir weld­ing, auto­mot­ive, robot­ics, as well as auto­ma­tion and digit­al­iz­a­tion in gen­er­al. OPCUA is a fully integ­rated com­mu­nic­a­tion tech­no­logy with­in our digit­al­iz­a­tion plat­form Sericy, serving all those branches and applications.

Gren­ze­bach is a lead­ing auto­mat­iz­a­tion solu­tion pro­vider for the glob­al glass, build­ing mater­i­al and int­ra­lo­gist­ics mar­ket. In addi­tion, the com­pany devel­ops new applic­a­tion areas, such as fric­tion stir weld­ing, the auto­mat­iz­a­tion of indus­tri­al addit­ive man­u­fac­tur­ing and digit­al net­work­ing. The digit­al­iz­a­tion plat­form SERICY allows cus­tom­ers to devel­op their own future-proof digit­al know-how. Gren­ze­bach ranks among the inter­na­tion­al tech­no­logy lead­ers in its mar­kets. The glob­al man­u­fac­tur­ing foot­print with pro­duc­tion sites in Ger­many, Romania, the US and China, as well as addi­tion­al world­wide loc­a­tions ensure cus­tom­er sup­port on-site. More than 3,000 sys­tems installed in more than 55 coun­tries stand for qual­ity and reli­ab­il­ity. Since the com­pany opened its doors 60 years ago, it has been owned by the found­ing fam­ily. With an export ratio of more than 90 per­cent, Gren­ze­bach is a glob­al player.
