umati has partner Traeger GmbH Industry Components

Trae­ger GmbH Industry Com­pon­ents is now part of the umati community

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

We see umati as a strong ini­ti­at­ive to bring machine build­ers, con­trol sys­tem man­u­fac­tur­ers and IT pro­viders togeth­er — with the aim of mak­ing open stand­ards such as OPC UA usable togeth­er. As a pro­vider of indus­tri­al con­nectiv­ity, we want to con­trib­ute our exper­i­ence to the work­ing groups, help devel­op best prac­tices and show how stand­ard­ized com­mu­nic­a­tion works in prac­tice — simple, robust and connectable.

What bene­fits does umati offer your com­pany and your customers?

umati cre­ates vis­ib­il­ity for inter­op­er­able solu­tions — and that helps us as well as our cus­tom­ers. Those who rely on man­u­fac­turer-inde­pend­ent com­mu­nic­a­tion bene­fit from an eco­sys­tem in which machines, con­trol sys­tems and IT sys­tems come togeth­er more eas­ily. Our products are designed to enable pre­cisely this open­ness — to make data avail­able where it is needed.

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

In our view, the expan­sion is logic­al — and neces­sary. Digit­al­iz­a­tion does not stop at industry bound­ar­ies. If machines are to talk to each oth­er, they need com­mon inter­faces and a com­mon under­stand­ing. umati brings the right play­ers togeth­er and ensures that stand­ards are not only spe­cified, but also used — across the breadth of mech­an­ic­al and plant engineering.

About Trae­ger 

Trae­ger GmbH is a solu­tion pro­vider for indus­tri­al net­work­ing with a focus on OPC UA. Our Cod­abix mid­dle­ware not only enables the imple­ment­a­tion of OPC UA-based com­mu­nic­a­tion, but also the intel­li­gent pro­cessing, con­di­tion­al for­ward­ing and visu­al­isa­tion of pro­duc­tion data — loc­ally, in real time and without cloud con­straints. We also provide our own OPC UA SDKs, includ­ing so-called Co-SDKs for Com­pan­ion Spe­cific­a­tions, which can be used to effi­ciently imple­ment industry-spe­cif­ic inform­a­tion mod­els. As an umati part­ner, we act­ively con­trib­ute our OPC UA expert­ise to the eco­sys­tem of inter­op­er­able production.
