Imaginary RC Car Factory Example

In this blog, I will try to explain the importance of Opc-Ua using an imaginary RC Car production factory.

In this imaginary factory, there is a simple production line. SMT will mount the electrical component to a PCB (printed circuit board). This machine is from Vendor A and it will be assembled as a final product in a different machine called assembly Line from Vendor B. Our SMT Line is monitored by Human Machine Interface (HMI) from Vendor A as below. (If you are not familiar with these terms, please take a look at this article). Since SMT and HMI are both from the same…
