umati has new partner The Japan Steel Works Ltd.

The Japan Steel Works Ltd. is now part of the umati community 

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

We expect to be able to accel­er­ate the effi­ciency of cus­tom­er fact­ory oper­a­tions through the use of open com­mu­nic­a­tion interfaces.

In addi­tion, we would like to deliv­er great­er value to our cus­tom­ers through col­lab­or­a­tion between us and the vari­ous third parties par­ti­cip­at­ing in umati.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

The uni­fied com­mu­nic­a­tion inter­face makes it easi­er and more afford­able to integ­rate our machines with the vari­ous machines that our cus­tom­ers want to use.

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

We hope that the wide­spread use of uni­fied com­mu­nic­a­tion inter­faces will increase pro­duc­tion and man­age­ment effi­ciency in the mech­an­ic­al engin­eer­ing industry and provide more oppor­tun­it­ies to con­trib­ute to energy and cost savings.
