umati has new partner Toyo Machinery & Metal Co., Ltd.

Toyo Machinery & Met­al Co., Ltd. is now part of the umati community

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

umati plays an import­ant role as a com­mu­nic­a­tion infra­struc­ture in the man­u­fac­tur­ing industry, which is indis­pens­able for real­iz­a­tion of smart fact­ory. We hope that our injec­tion mould­ing machine will be com­pat­ible with umati, which will increase oppor­tun­it­ies to sup­port a wider range of cus­tom­ers and con­trib­ute to fur­ther pro­mo­tion of Industry 4.0.

What advant­ages does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

When umati becomes one of the most com­mon inter­face stand­ards on a glob­al level in the man­u­fac­tur­ing industry in the future, we believe that our injec­tion mold­ing machines with that tech­no­logy will be able to sat­is­fy more customers.

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

We wel­come it and look for­ward to see­ing more new chal­lenges by umati in the future.
