OPC Technology
OPC is the world’s leading interoperability standard for secure and reliable data exchange in industrial automation and other applications. It ensures the seamless flow of information between devices and software applications of different manufacturers.
The current OPC UA (Unified Architecture) standard is platform-independent, leveraging advanced security and data modeling technologies to deliver future-proof, scalable and extensible solutions. Companion Specifications further simplify the use of OPC UA for the end user.
