Our team completed a full overhaul of a major industrial control system’s internal communication infrastructure, leveraging Unified Automation's OPC SDK to replace legacy software with a modern OPC-UA solution provided by Open Automation Software (OAS). Built within a multi-threaded .NET framework, the new system was designed to support high-performance, scalable communication across complex industrial operations.
The integration enabled precise, real-time, and reliable communication over a hundred different hardware sources, facilitating the transfer and management of over 100,000 data tags. The result improved system responsiveness and data accessibility across the command and control system.
By moving away from the previous legacy software, the client realized significant cost savings. The new OPC-UA-based system not only reduced ongoing licensing fees but also laid the groundwork for a more maintainable, adaptable infrastructure aligned with current and future industrial standards.
