umati has new partner Smart Factory B.V.

Smart Fact­ory is now part of the umati community

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

Smart Fact­ory believes that a con­sor­ti­um of for­ward-think­ing com­pan­ies can and must elev­ate the auto­ma­tion stand­ards with­in the man­u­fac­tur­ing industry. Through col­lab­or­at­ive efforts, we anti­cip­ate estab­lish­ing uni­fied pro­to­cols and stand­ard­iz­a­tion agree­ments that will res­ult in enhanced, con­sist­ent ser­vice deliv­ery to the man­u­fac­tur­ing sec­tor. We expect Umati to serve as the cata­lyst for industry-wide digit­al trans­form­a­tion and interoperability.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers? 

Through stra­tegic collaboration:

• Estab­lish uni­fied industry stand­ards and clear oper­a­tion­al agreements
• Con­tinu­ously mon­it­or and pro­act­ively address evolving mar­ket changes and tech­no­lo­gic­al advances
• Lever­age col­lect­ive expert­ise — two heads are bet­ter than one
• Accel­er­ate innov­a­tion through shared know­ledge and resources
• Cre­ate stronger mar­ket pos­i­tion­ing through con­sor­ti­um partnerships
• Reduce indi­vidu­al devel­op­ment costs while increas­ing col­lect­ive capability

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

Umati will elev­ate ser­vice deliv­ery to the man­u­fac­tur­ing industry to unpre­ced­en­ted levels. This advance­ment will enable the man­u­fac­tur­ing sec­tor to fur­ther strengthen and main­tain its lead­er­ship pos­i­tion in glob­al mar­kets. By fos­ter­ing stand­ard­iz­a­tion and inter­op­er­ab­il­ity, Umati cre­ates a found­a­tion for sus­tained com­pet­it­ive advant­age and oper­a­tion­al excel­lence across the entire man­u­fac­tur­ing ecosystem.

About Smart Factory

Smart Fact­ory is a Dutch com­pany from Haaks­ber­gen that devel­ops cloud soft­ware for SMEs in the man­u­fac­tur­ing industry. We believe it’s import­ant that our soft­ware is not only secure, but also easy to use.

With our soft­ware, we help man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pan­ies get more out of their CNC machines and improve their on-time deliv­er­ies. By con­nect­ing our soft­ware to the ERP sys­tem you already use, all machine data flows back auto­mat­ic­ally. This means you can cal­cu­late your orders much more accurately.

The great thing about our solu­tion is that you don’t need to be an IT spe­cial­ist to get star­ted with it. Install­a­tion is simple and the soft­ware works on any device — wheth­er you use your phone, tab­let or com­puter does­n’t mat­ter. This way you can always and every­where see how your machines are per­form­ing, even when you’re not on the shop floor.
