OpenSSL has a serious vulnerability, called the “Heartbleed Bug”. The OPC UA C++ SDK uses OpenSSL and if you have taken the new HTTPS protocol in use, your applications may be affected.
OpenSSL is not used by the Java or .NET applications, so you will be safe in those environments.

Mipro worked with Prosys OPC to enable advanced OPC UA diagnostics for Finland’s first commercial digital railway project. Using Prosys OPC UA Forge, Mipro extended the capabilities of safety PLCs to meet EULYNX SDI requirements, providing features such as OPC UA Reverse Connect, standardized information models, event-based communication, and automated data mapping. The solution improved interoperability, reduced integration complexity, and enabled reliable collection and transmission of railway diagnostic data, supporting safer and more efficient railway operations.
CESMII’s i3X initiative aims to make industrial data easier to consume by IT systems while preserving context and semantics. In this article, we examine how i3X compares with OPC UA, where it fits in industrial architectures, and why information models remain the key to successful Industrial DataOps.
Learn how to connect Claude Desktop to Prosys OPC UA Forge using MCP (Model Context Protocol). This tutorial shows how to enable AI-powered access to OPC UA data, methods, and historical information through Forge’s built-in AI capabilities.
