Machine connectivity training

Summary

Setting up connected machines is a vital part of any Industry 4.0 solution but it can be a challenging task. How do you gain access to machine data? What communication standard to use? Should I use data models? What about cybersecurity? 

In this one day technical connectivity training for production managers, technicians, engineers, and software developers, we provide an overview of different communication technologies and then focus on the broadly adopted OPC Unified Architecture standard. By explaining how we used OPC UA at customer projects you will learn the best practices and pitfalls that we picked up from years of experience.
