Technology excellence for smart machine communication

OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) provides a uniform, standardized interface for industrial communication. Thanks to its flexibility and interoperability, it enables companies to seamlessly and securely connect their machines — across manufacturers and systems.

How does that work? Industry-leading companies design the flexible data models with which every device in the corporate network describes itself. In this way, all network participants know which data is available, in which format and which functions a device can perform. It is even possible to configure complex work orders. Thanks to the specialized companion specifications, you can rely on a guaranteed range of interface functions. As an Alsumi member, we support the industry-wide standardization of data models. As members of OPC working groups for robotics and Cranes & Hoist, we are actively promoting standards.

With our lightweight software stack for embedded systems, we let even the smallest devices speak the powerful protocol.

Store & Forward stands for secure caching of your critical production and process data so that your logs and analysis are based on seamless data. They enable precise tracking of production processes and contribute to optimising efficiency.

Unstable connections to devices in the field? With OPC UA Historizing, your machines store the data directly on the device until it is completely transferred — consistently, in compliance with standards and securely.
