Education, Awareness, and Adoption of the OPC Specifications

OPC is the interoperability standard for secure, reliable, and platform-independent information exchange. It provides open connectivity by defining an interface between clients and servers, as between servers and other servers, for different fields of applications.

With over 950 OPC Foundation members and tens of thousands of OPC-compliant products, the OPC Foundation promotes education, awareness, and adoption of the OPC specifications through global compliance and collaboration programs. As the official source for the OPC Certification Program, the OPC Foundation helps ensure that OPC products plug-and-play in real-world applications. For more information, visit www.opcfoundation.org.
