Associations AutomationML e.V., IDTA, OPC Foundation and VDMA publish a joint target picture and recommendations for action for industrial interoperability

The fact that OPC UA enables interoperable and secure access to data and services from machines and plants in networked production is now an accepted fact. But beyond this well-known benefit, what can be offered to specific user groups? This new guide lists stakeholders in machine and plant engineering for whom the use of OPC UA with Companion Specifications creates concrete added value.

The new guide "Industrie 4.0 Interoperability through OPC UA with Companion Specifications - Added Value for Stakeholders in the Machinery and Plant Engineering Sector" is available for download.

OPC UA for Machine Tools – Part 1: Machine Monitoring and Job Overview (Replaces VDMA 40501-1:2022-08)

The 12 parts of the VDMA Specification series 40084 "OPC UA Interfaces for Plastics and Rubber Machinery - Extrusion" have been revised and published with issue date 2022-08.

Industry 4.0 and digitalisation are primarily associated with networked production and the associated new business models, a high degree of automation and a multitude of possible applications. This requires interoperability between a wide range of machines, components and systems and the provision of all relevant data.

The new newsletter will inform interested parties about the latest results and information on OPC UA from the VDMA community from January 2022.
