We are United Manufacturing Hub
Our mission is to build the best open-source tool to take factories to the future. And we are just getting started.
From tech incubator to leading industrial data operations platform
The starting point
Jeremy was tasked to implement various Industry 4.0 solutions in the model factory of McKinsey & Company and RWTH Aachen University, but experienced many challenges firsthand.
Developing the machine sensor retrofitting kit
During this work Jeremy recognized that many manufacturers did not have access to standard interfaces of their machines. So we developed a retrofitting kit to obtain data via external sensors and enable Digital Performance Management.
Alex is joining the System Integrator
To support in one-time projects, Alex joins Jeremy to build a system integrator, where they develop the predecessor of UMH to enable their projects.
Starting a product company
As we realized how immature many manufacturing solutions are, we wanted to move away from services and focus on creating a product that enables professionals to digitize their shop floor.
United Manufacturing Hub is born
Together we founded United Manufacturing Hub, open-sourcing the project and building the first ever Open-Source community in manufacturing.
Global community and growing team
UMH grows to 11 employees, with global stack deployment and a diverse community supporting the mission.
Management Console launch
Introduction of the Management Console, a user-friendly interface for monitoring and managing the UMH platform.
Successful seed round
We closed our seed round with Freigeist onboard to improve our product faster and scale all other business functions along the way.
To the moon
Remain committed to improving the Unified Namespace architecture and bring innovation to the manufacturing plants.
