Integration of machines, robots, production IT

FANUC and MES provider MPDV have entered into an agreement in the field of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). MPDV’s MES system HYDRA will complement FANUC's solution portfolio. In addition to the expansion of the MPDV distribution network, both partners expect to increase their perception as experts for Industry 4.0. Initially, the cooperation will focus on the People's Republic of China, then the cooperation will be extended to the rest of the world.

A joint demonstrator at FANUC's Shanghai site is now in operation. The demonstrator is a production landscape of FANUC machines and robots that are monitored and visualized in real time by the MES HYDRA. The implementation in the HYDRA standard, the short implementation phase and the deep integration of the solutions of both partners indicate a high success potential.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Juergen Kletti, CEO of MPDV explains: "For us, the cooperation with FANUC is another important building block in our strategy to become a leading global provider of Industry 4.0 solutions".
