OPC UA
Forge
Connecting IT and OT for secure, streamlined operations
Connect, Harmonize, Publish
Use Prosys OPC UA Forge to connect to OPC UA servers and access operational data from sensors, devices, machines, and automation systems. Harmonize data using information modeling and normalization, and publish your data to MES, ERP, IoT, and other IT systems using OPC UA.
Single Point of Access
Having all your data behind a single point of access enables tighter firewall rules and better network control, simplifying your system architecture and significantly improving security. Once configured, Prosys OPC UA Forge is your secure gateway for accessing OT data of all underlying servers.
Effective Onboarding and Reconfiguration
The growing number of hardware and software items from different vendors in production processes requires new solutions to organize your data. Prosys OPC UA Forge enables a straightforward on-boarding and reconfiguration of IT systems and production equipment, as well as easy scaling to multiple production sites.
Information Modeling and Data Harmonization
Browse the underlying address spaces of all connected servers and select the data you want to harmonize and publish. Easy-to-use operations such as rename, scale, and offset assist you in achieving your goals. Modeling tools enable mapping and organizing underlying data into information models based on industry standards.
Unified Address Space
Once configured, the unified address space exposes underlying data from all the connected data sources, according to your naming and structuring principles. This result streamlines OT data acquisition for IT systems, providing information in the most suitable and standard way.
Run on Any Platform
Prosys OPC UA Forge utilizes our cross-platform OPC UA components and technology, enabling deployments on virtually any hardware and operating system, including container systems such as Docker. Depending on your specific needs, you can choose between a pre-packaged containerized version or an operating system-specific installation.
