wetcon GmbH is now part of the umati community
What expectations do you have of umati, what do you expect from the partnership?
“We see umati as the essential bridge for seamless connectivity across the entire mechanical engineering industry. As a software and integration partner, we expect to actively contribute our OPC UA and IIoT expertise — and to collaborate with the community on solutions that make machine connectivity simpler, standardised, and truly scalable.”
What advantages does umati offer your company and your customers?
“umati gives us and our customers a strong, industry-wide framework to build on. Instead of developing proprietary interfaces for every use case, we can rely on an open, trusted standard — reducing integration effort significantly and enabling faster time-to-value for manufacturers and operators alike.”
How do you evaluate the expansion of the umati initiative to the entire mechanical engineering industry?
“The expansion of umati beyond machine tools to the broader mechanical engineering world is exactly the right move. A uniform communication standard enables every stakeholder — from machine builders to software vendors to end users — to focus on creating value rather than solving connectivity challenges from scratch. wetcon fully embraces this vision.”
