What is OPC UA
OPC UA is a data exchange standard for highly reliable industrial communication designed to transfer information from factories and process control equipment to large-scale host information systems. In recent years, it has been attracting attention for its support of Industrie 4.0 from Germany and Made in China 2025.
In the third industrial revolution, mechanization and automation were promoted using computers and IT technology. What the world is aiming for in the future is the realization of an industry in which machines, people, and products are intelligently coordinated by making further use of the information and communication technologies that have been cultivated thus far. For example, in the manufacturing field, smart factories are being considered. Data on the operating status of machines can be collected directly from machines and sent to networks for analysis and feedback. trying to connect In order to realize this, OPC UA, which can securely connect from the workplace to the cloud, has been adopted as the core communication protocol.
Matrikon ® FLEX OPC UA SDK
The Matrikon ® FLEX OPC UA SDK is an SDK developed by Matrikon for building systems that conform to the OPC UA standard.
Highly scalable design for use in any environment
When IoT progresses and smart factories start full-scale operation, it is expected that millions of data will be exchanged per second. Matrikon's SDK has a robust construction that anticipates this, and is designed with a small footprint and memory saving so that it can be used even in low-power embedded environments on the edge side. Therefore, it is a highly scalable SDK that can be used widely from embedded to enterprise.
Provide client and server SDKs that support the latest specifications
SDKs that follow the latest specifications are prepared for both servers and clients, and will be provided as needed.
Support system in Japan
We provide sample projects for major OSs, Japanese manuals, training, and support by Japanese engineers, which can greatly reduce the time required to introduce OPC UA.
World-class reliability
SDK developed by a group of experts who have been involved in OPC for over 20 years since the OPC Classic era. It is certified by the OPC Foundation and has a track record of adoption all over the world, making it a highly reliable product.
Main features
Scalability
