What is umati?

umati enables machine tools and peripherals to

connect to customer-specific IT ecosystems, inside

or outside the production environment, via an open,

universal interface – easy, secure, and seamless.

umati‘s core feature is standardized semantics,

embedded in an information model based on the

open communication standard OPC UA.

umati supports specific extensions for manufacturers

and customers of machine tools.

umati‘s aim is to establish a worldwide standard for

the connectivity of machine tools.

There‘s no better connection than

that of a common language

‒ also for machine (tools).

Who is behind it?

umati is an initiative of VDW, the German Machine Tool Builders‘ Association

umati was created in the belief that

• exploiting data creates an added value for customers, thus leading to new, trendsetting business models for the sector

• open interfaces are the basic requirement to exchange data between machines and IT systems

• the specification of open interfaces must be undertaken by the machine tool industry itself, to cover the specific needs of its customers

• this is no field for competition, neither results it in any advantage in the market, but requires collaboration to use resources more efficiently

Up to now…

10 machine tools manufacturers joined to create the standard

5 controller suppliers support implementation and realization

1 research institute supports the activities

➔ The initiative is open for interested participants from all over the world!

Data Sources, Data Clients: A machine tool (MT) comprises several

data sources (CNC, PLC, HMI, …). For each of these data sources

protocols, a specific data client is require to connect to the existing

interface

2Transformation engine: Data acquired from the machine needs to

be mapped or tranformed (logically, mathematically) to the

standardized targed semantics

3OPC UA-server: Communication „to the outside world“ is enabled

through the standardized semantics and unified information model

specified in the umati OPC UA Companion Specification

4Manufacturer-specific or customer specific extensions: ensure

the openness and flexiblity required to include not (yet) standardized

parameters and interfaces

5 Application Layer: OPC UA clients enable unified access to data to

create added value

(2), (3) an (4) are supposed to be directly integrated into

future versions of machine tools controllers

Parameter definition by use cases (follows OPC UA best practice):➢ Fast overview if production is running

➢ Overview of the machining job

➢ Follow progress of the machining program and machine status

➢ Error statistics

➢ Overview of functional mode over time

Further progress: 100+ parameters, 20+ use cases as input into OPC UA information modeling procedure

Overall top level parameter clusters for OPC UA Companion Specification

➢ Machine information

➢ Machine status / operational status

➢ Counters (working hours, workpieces, …)

➢ Job information

➢ Energy information

➢ Tools

➢ Workpieces

➢ Storage systems (tools, workpieces, pallets, …)

What is the object of standardization?

umati simplifies and reduces the effort to connect machine tools to customer-specific IT systems landscapes

Human resources get disburdened, projects can be realized faster, cost is reduced

umati is established as an open, free-to-use standard based on OPC UA

No specific licensing is required to use the standardized semantics provided by the umati OPC UA Companion Specification to configure an OPC UA servers within one‘s own product

Licensing will be required if software components specifically developed for umati are to be used

Utilizing the brand „umati“ will be tied to certification and qualification of the implemented interface, additional charges may apply

How can I benefit from using umati

‒ and what does it cost?

A small, closed group currently is working on

developing the concept and first semantics. This

requires a lot of commitment, time-consuming

negotiations and high personal trust

A Joint Working Group (JWG) under the roof of the

OPC Foundation will be established. The aim is to

create and publish an OPC UA Companion

Specification

The JWG will initiate a review process, which is

open for participation by any interested party*

The review process is to be completed to the

greatest possible extent until EMO Hannover 2019

trade show

How Can I Participate? (1)

Bildquelle: Fotolia_54769043_alphaspirit_L May change without notice! Work in Progress!

*) Restrictions may apply, e.g., being a member of OPC Foundation


An extended demonstration will be shown at EMO

Hannover 2019 trade show

➢ based on a design freeze of the OPC UA companion

specification

➢ interested companies can participate

Possibly first products may be available after EMO,

if the standardization works have made enough

progress

After publication of the OPC UA Companion

Specification, the interface specification is free to

use within one‘s own products

Integration of the transformation engine in close collaboration

with controller suppliers

Sep 2019: EMO Hannover trade show

Demonstration of the then-available state of work through

machine tool builders, controller suppliers and software providers

Beginning 2020: First products accor. To final OPC UA Companion Specification

Thereafter: Continuous extension and improvement of the OPC UA Companion

Specification and other umati features

Moving On…


Swiss companies involved from the beginning

Frequent information of the European Machine Tool Industries via

Cecimo as the rooftop association

Frequent information exchange on association level with China, Japan,

Korea, Taiwan, USA, etc.

Jimtof 2018: Mitsubishi Electric, Citizen Machinery joined; Okuma,

Makino interested; Exchange with Chinese players

Cooperation with ProdNET and EUMABOIS

Since 01.2019: B&R Automation joined

Global participation will be possible as soon as the OPC UA Companion

Specification draft release candidate is published for comments

Broad international participation is foreseen

for EMO Hannover 2019 demonstration

As a member of the OPC Foundation,

VDW is part of the OPC UA community

umati goes global

Global dissemination and application of umati

requires worldwide acceptance and collaboration.
