Detailed product information

Manufacturer and technology-independent communication interface for all AutoID technologies. OPC UA for the AutoID industry for 1D / 2D code, HF RFID, UHF RFID and Real Time Location Systems. The OPC UA Companion Specification for AutoID Devices has existed since 2016 and is supported by many well-known manufacturers.

A successful cooperation between the OPC Foundation and the AIM Association. Living interoperability – of course with all the advantages of OPC UA such as the included cyber security functionalities.

OPC UA has been designed for scalability and supports a wide range of application domains, ranging from field level (e.g. devices for measurement or identification, PLCs), to enterprise management support.

New Information Models can be created based on the OPC UA Data Model and eventually derived from OPC UA Base Information Models.

Companion specifications of such Information Models are often called “Industry standard models” because they typically address a dedicated industry problem. The synergy of the OPC UA infrastructure to exchange such industry information models enables interoperability at the semantic level.
