Fully compliant with the OPC UA Robotics communications protocol for IIoT, Epson’s OPC UA for Robotics delivers a wide range of significant benefits. The cost of building a core system, for example, is reduced, through simpler and faster data management, while operational efficiency is improved through easier and more accurate monitoring, plus faster troubleshooting with digital twinning. Data integrity and traceability is enhanced, too, through certification and advanced encryption, while the software also provides enhanced protection against DOS attacks and other unauthorised access. Offering batch operation (up to 20 units can be operated at once), the solution provides open and direct communication between devices and systems (PLC to PLC; machine to machine; machines to IT systems), and can be used for applications ranging from small embedded controllers to large cloud infrastructures.
