Abstract of presentations:

  • Keynote: OPC on the way towards Industrie 4.0, Thomas Hahn, Siemens: OPC UA attracts multiple activities and groups in Germans initiative Industrie4.0. Siemens as a member of the Industrie 4.0 organization platform reporting about the importance and adaption of OPC UA in this initiative. Presentation will also cover strategic importance of OPC UA from Siemens point of view.
  • Sensor to Cloud: Analytics and Integration with OPC UA and Microsoft Azure, Clemens Vasters, Microsoft: An increasing number of business and production scenarios calls for cross-site information integration and for sophisticated analytics processing with significant requirements for storage and compute capacities. This session will explain and demonstrate the integration of OPC UA servers with cloud-based analytics systems and integration of on-site assets with secure and trustworthy cloud assistance, leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Azure.
  • M2M Communication: Requirements from a Robotics Perspective and Future Solutions using Time Sensitive Networking on Standard Ethernet, Todd Walter, National Instruments and Heinrich Munz, KUKA Roboter: OPC UA has the potential to become the common protocol architecture for Industry 4.0 and IoT. To meet this challenge it must satisfy a class of applications requiring simplified controller to controller deterministic communication using standard Ethernet network infrastructure. This presentation will discuss this class of applications and their requirements. It will then provide an overview of foundational work being performed by IEEE-802 (the standards body for Ethernet) and by the AVnu Alliance (a community focused on creating interoperable systems providing precise timing and low latency communications). This work is aligned with the new publisher/subscriber mechanisms for OPC UA.
  • Global Discovery Server – Delivering new value to OPC UA solutions, Bernard Cubizolles, General Electric (GE) Intelligent Platforms: The Global Discovery Server (GDS) leverages the OPC UA specifications Part 12. This session will show the two aspects of the GDS, which acts as a certificate authority & management entity on behalf of OPC UA aware devices and products. It allows for faster deployment and shorter time to value by making the discovery & configuration process easier. Presentation will also cover strategic importance of OPC UA from GE point of view.
  • Simple Connectivity to Enterprise Systems – A generic OPC UA – WebService Wrapper, Prof. Dr. Ing. Daniel Großmann, University Ingolstadt: OPC UA provides powerful and scalable middleware services and is adopted widely in the automation domain. Enterprise systems on the other hand very often rely on Webservices. The presentation discusses a generic approach where a OPC UA server dynamically creates wrapper methods for Webservices based on their respective description (WSDL).
  • Pushing your data in your augmented reality – easy and secure mobile app creation, Simon Heinen, Bitstars: What if you could generate your mobile OPC UA clients as simple as you create your PowerPoint slides? Might it be possible to define standard modules for all common tasks a mobile OPC UA client would be used for? This presentation shows a plan to eliminate the need to program such mobile clients which are running on your smart phones, tablets or Smart Glasses like Google Glass.
  • OPC UA general technology update – Publisher / Subscriber mechanism enabling new scenarios, Matthias Damm, Ascolab: This presentation provides an overview on activities inside the OPC UA working group. One of the major enhancements is the extension of the transport layer with Pub/Sub mechanism without any influence of existing data modeling.
  • OPC UA enabled standardization of AutoID semantic: enabler for Industrie 4.0, Olaf Wilmsmeier, HARTING and Markus Weinländer, Siemens (Board of AIM-D Working group): Regarding the common development of a companion standard for automatic identification systems, the joint working group of OPCF and AIM-D has designed an object model that contains various identification technologies such as RFID, barcode, OCR or handheld devices. This presentation provides first initial edition of the companion specification but also show an initial prototype done by Siemens and HARTING.
  • OPC UA security evaluation, Jens Wiesner, Federal Office of Information Security (BSI), Germany: As OPC UA is a key player in the German Industrie 4.0 strategy, the BSI started a project to evaluate the security of OPC UA. This presentation provides an overview on the goals, efforts and status of this project.
  • OPC UA and AutomationML collaboration partners for one common goal: Industrie 4.0,
    Dr.-Ing. Miriam Schleipen, Fraunhofer Institut IOSB: AutomationML (Automation Markup Language) is an upcoming open standard series (IEC 62714) for describing production plants or plant components. The usage of AutomationML in combination with OPC UA can create synergy and will lead to a wider acceptance and usability of both standards. A joint working group of the AutomationML e.V. and the OPC Foundation therefore develops a companion specification “AutomationML for OPC UA”. It is possible to simplify the creation of OPC UA information models based on existing AutomationML data. This is especially important for re-engineering and maintenance use cases were the AutomationML model evolves over time. The present AutomationML model can be managed by an OPC UA server and makes an up-to-date description of the system as-is possible which can be accessed by numerous OPC UA clients. One other opportunity by combining the two standards is the lossless exchange of OPC UA system configuration information within AutomationML models which will also be described and published.
  • GRDF made the choice to use OPC UA to monitor its gas distribution network in France,
    Laurent LYSTIG (GRDF) and Philippe MARSAUD (BMIA): As per the building of an innovative global supervisory application in France by GRDF to monitoring the gas pressure devices on its distribution network, EURIWARE has been entitled to build a genuine OPC UA gateway to collect all information coming out of a huge amount of OPC UA devices. The aim of this session is to highlight how OPC UA architecture could be the right solution for such an issue.
