Event
Recap
The webinar demonstrated how OPC UA can be applied in a practical and accessible way, combining clear explanations, modern tools and live demos to show how industrial data can be structured, standardized and seamlessly integrated from OT to IT using approaches like MQTT and Unified Namespace.
what was
talked about?
The webinar provided a practical, end-to-end view on OPC UA, showing how data can be collected, structured and seamlessly integrated from OT to IT using modern tools, standardized models and live demonstrations from data source to dashboard.
OPC UA Made Practical
The session started by breaking down OPC UA to its essentials, focusing on what truly matters for IT/OT integration instead of diving into unnecessary complexity. Participants gained a clear understanding of how to approach OPC UA in real projects.
From Data to Structure with Forge
With Prosys Forge, the webinar introduced a practical way to structure industrial data for IT systems. It became clear how standardized data can be prepared for analytics, AI and digital services in a secure and scalable way.
Fast Start with Modern Tools
Real-world examples showed how modern OPC UA tools enable quick onboarding and implementation. Participants learned how to get started efficiently and which tools support real industrial use cases today.
Live Demo: End-to-End Data Flow
A live demonstration connected the full pipeline, from a simulated data source to MQTT, databases and dashboards. The demo highlighted how data can be mapped, standardized and distributed to different consumers with minimal effort.
Real Use Case with MQTT and UNS
The session concluded with a concrete use case, showing how standardized OEE data is transferred from OT to IT using Forge, MQTT and a Unified Namespace, demonstrating real interoperability in action.
our main
takeaway
The webinar showed that OPC UA does not have to be complex to deliver value. With the right tools, standards and ecosystem, companies can quickly move from data to real applications. This is exactly where the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance creates value by bringing together proven approaches, enabling interoperability and helping companies turn standards into working solutions.
