OPC (OLE for Process Control)

OPC (OLE for Process Control) is a standard technology that enables different industrial devices and software systems to communicate seamlessly. Think of it as a common language that allows equipment like sensors, controllers, and monitoring software to exchange data reliably, regardless of manufacturer. OPC ensures real-time information sharing, making industrial processes more efficient and easier to manage. It’s widely used in manufacturing, energy, and other industries to connect automation components, support data analysis, and improve operational decision-making.
