umati has new partner Peakboard America Inc.

Peak­board Amer­ica is now part of the umati community

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

This part­ner­ship would allow Peak­board to enhance its abil­ity to offer com­pre­hens­ive, integ­rated data solu­tions for man­u­fac­tur­ers who pri­or­it­ize inter­op­er­ab­il­ity and mod­ern data standards.

One import­ant aspect is the Seam­less Data Integ­ra­tion: With the stand­ard­ized seam­less com­mu­nic­a­tion pro­to­cols between dif­fer­ent machines and sys­tems, Peak­board can aggreg­ate and visu­al­ize machine data in real time, regard­less of the machine man­u­fac­turer. Peak­board can reach out to a wider array of machines and devices that adhere to the OPC UA stand­ard. This would allow Peak­board to offer cus­tom­ers a more uni­fied data solu­tion, cater­ing to a broad­er range of equip­ment types.

Also, a Col­lab­or­at­ive Innov­a­tion which could be oppor­tun­it­ies for joint innov­a­tion, includ­ing the poten­tial to co-devel­op or align future product fea­tures with Umati’s evolving stand­ards to remain at the fore­front of man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­no­logy solutions.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

With Umati’s stand­ard­ized data exchange pro­to­cols, Peakboard’s imple­ment­a­tion time in cus­tom­er envir­on­ments can be sig­ni­fic­antly reduced, allow­ing for faster setups and quick­er value deliv­ery to cli­ents. As Umati con­tin­ues to evolve and gain trac­tion across the industry, align­ing with this open stand­ard ensures that Peak­board stays com­pat­ible with future devel­op­ments in machine con­nectiv­ity, mak­ing its solu­tions adapt­able to future needs. In essence, Umati enhances the value Peak­board provides by offer­ing easi­er integ­ra­tion, improved flex­ib­il­ity, and future-proof solu­tions for mod­ern man­u­fac­tur­ing needs.

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

Peak­board would likely assess the expan­sion of Umati to the entire mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing sec­tor as a stra­tegic devel­op­ment that offers great­er oppor­tun­it­ies for growth, effi­ciency, and col­lab­or­a­tion across the industry.

About Peak­board America

The umati com­munity is grow­ing and is happy about its new partner:

Peak­board, foun­ded 2016, in Stut­tgart, Ger­many with more than 45 employ­ees devel­ops an indus­tri­al applic­a­tion for real time data in pro­duc­tion and logist­ics. Our focus is optim­iz­ing pro­duc­tion pro­cesses with an easy-to-use soft­ware inter­face. That helps to cre­ate cus­tom­ized dash­boards and con­nect many dif­fer­ent data sources in no time. Peak­board cov­ers 200+ dif­fer­ent sys­tems e. g. machines, dif­fer­ent ERP sys­tems like SAP, Oracle or Infor as well as data­bases and Excel.

Peak­board helps to reduce machine down­times, oper­at­ors can act as early as pos­sible on machine errors and in gen­er­al the safety aspect is some­thing Peak­board can focus on. The res­ults are more trans­par­ency, bet­ter qual­ity, time sav­ings and efficiency.
