Cooperation
Fanuc and MPDV network machines, robots and production IT
The Japanese company Fanuc and MES provider MPDV have agreed to cooperate closely in the field of the Industrial Internet of Things.
In the age of Industry 4.0, production resources must be consistently networked. Manufacturing IT in the form of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) supports this. With a recently signed cooperation agreement, Fanuc and MPDV are mutually expanding their product portfolios.
In particular, the Hydra MES system will complement Fanuc's solution portfolio. In addition to expanding the sales network on the MPDV side, both partners expect to strengthen their perception as experts for Industry 4.0. Initially, the cooperation will focus on the People's Republic of China. As soon as sufficient experience has been gained, the cooperation will be extended to the rest of the world.
The joint demonstrator is now also in operation at the Fanuc site in Shanghai. This is a production environment consisting of Fanuc machines and robots that are monitored and visualized in real time by the Hydra MES. The implementation in the Hydra standard, the short implementation phase and the deep integration of the solutions of both partners speak for a high potential for success. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Kletti, Managing Partner of MPDV, explains: "For us, the cooperation with Fanuc is another important building block in our strategy to become a leading global provider of solutions for Industry 4.0." kp
