Siemens and ROY-G-BIV Offer Strategic Advances in Machine
Tool Motion Control
Chicago,
May 1, 2008 — Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc. and
ROY-G-BIV Corporation today announced a multi-faceted
partnership that combines the Siemens Motion Control
Information System (MCIS) software solution with ROY-G-BIV’s
XMC© universal machine connectivity software.
This partnership creates factory-wide productivity solutions
that can operate across various brands of machine tools and
motion-controlled equipment.
XMC is the
universal interface enabling customers to use Siemens MCIS
software solution on their existing production network.
Siemens MCIS software solution is a system that provides
fast, easy integration of production machines into the
production network while ensuring that production planning,
scheduling and execution is problem-free and based on the
latest data. With the MCIS-XMC offering, customers will
benefit from reduced machine setup times, increased
efficiency, reduced machine downtimes and simplified fault
analyses throughout their entire production.
“Our
partnership will allow us to deliver unmatched software
solutions and value-added services that boost manufacturers’
productivity and profitability capabilities,” said Wolfgang
Rubrecht, general manager, Siemens Energy & Automation,
Machine Tool Business. “Customers will now be able to use
our MCIS software products more effectively on machines with
either Siemens or non-Siemens control hardware, a unique
strategic advantage within the proprietary machine tool
industry.”
“This
partnership is an excellent union of strengths to provide
what customers have been seeking for years — a
machine-neutral software solution that provides
unprecedented access and visibility into manufacturing
operations reliant upon legacy or modern CNC machine tools,”
said Jay Clark, President and CEO of ROY-G-BIV.
Siemens and
ROY-G-BIV are launching the first of several integrated
products in 2008 under the Siemens Manufacturing Excellence
global initiative. Coupled with a full line of
