OPC UA: Essential to stay ahead with data utilization

Today's manufacturing requires flexible, fast data utilization.
Open Platform Communications
The key is to add value to data by seamlessly connecting shop Unified Architecture
floor and IT systems.
▶OPC UA, anticipated as the standard for supporting International data exchange standard for safe, reliable,
manufacturer- and platform-independent industrial
digital transformation in manufacturing, is essential for
communication
success in data utilization

Integrate the strengths of OPC UA into programmable controller systems

Resolve your concerns about data utilization with the three key strengths of OPC UA!
