Different technology stacks are used for machine connectivity interfaces across the industry. Ranging from self-developed REST APIs to data models like MTConnect, 3YOURMIND uses the OPCUA/umati standard to harmonize this data. Despite our efforts, the support for our desired Use Cases varies based on the technologies (and their implementations). Find out more below:
...
Usage within AM: Is the technology/interface used within the AM industry and is provided by different machine types from different and vendors?
Extendable: In order to implement further use cases a technology/interface needs to provide some kind of extendability.
