DATA INTEGRATION IN AUTOMATED FACILITIES

OPC/UA Adapter

The OPC/UA Adapter facilitates information exchange for your Fortress Systems, internal network and entire plant to communicate in one integrated system. It opens data “tags” that collect settings and parameters over the network in real-time to auto-populate your internal database structure with the captured data. The OPC/UA Adapter interface integrates seamlessly with factory data systems, providing secure access to data through client applications. It also allows the connection of multiple metal detectors.
