uOPC Aggregation Server

Description

Horizontal and vertical integration of the various assets in a typical manufacturing facility is rapidly being pursued. From the plant floor to the enterprise layer, devices/equipment and systems are getting interconnected. It is no surprise that OPC is one of the most common protocols for industrial interconnectivity. As the number of communication layers increases, so does the number of OPC endpoints in a typical industrial landscape. It is here where the concept of aggregation servers helps.

An OPC UA Aggregation server aggregates data from a variety of OPC data sources like OPC DA/UA/HDA/AE Server. These servers present data that they collect from various sources to the OPC Client applications as singular data. Utthunga’s OPC UA aggregation server integrates data as a single source that is compatible with client applications like ERP, MES, HMI, SCADA, Mobile, Big Data, Enterprise Asset Management, analytics, and IoT platforms.

Why is OPC Servers Aggregator required for Industries?

Industries need to have seamless vertical and horizontal communication between the various hierarchical levels. This leads to a proliferation of OPC servers spread in various points in a manufacturing facility, and possibly also with a geographical spread. OPC Clients that consume this data for various purposes may have to establish separate connections to each server, which often time leads to high license costs and maintenance headaches. An aggregation server, as the name suggests, aggregates the data from various OPC Server and exposes data as a single endpoint to the end clients. The aggregation server can also assume additional functions to do calculations and optimizations on the data it is collecting, hence leading to increased performance for the end clients.
