I would not be able to get this perspective anywhere else. I especially liked what you did at the end in providing a path for OPC UA to be improved. They really need to strip it down, really strip it down. I was not aware that in some cases with implementation that you would have to make a choice between "this" and "that" part of the spec. Really interesting. When I first read about Companion Specifications, I became completely confused and got a headache. But my experience in programming allowed me to come to the conclusion that it's just a really fancy "Typedef" statement from "C". It's like over-complicating JSON. In my opinion, it's just a big-ass data structure. I would not even call it a model. That's how I was able to wrap my head around it. Thanks again for another informative video. Learned lots as usual!
If I4.0 is about extreme connectivity, then OPC has no fit into I4.0. It would be like having a cell network that has a different type of communication for every single carrier and they each had to have their own tower and their own FCC licensed bands.
I think a way to simplify understanding of why OPC might not be fit for IoT is because it relied on a system (OLE) that had a big supposition at its core, namely: it assumed the communication was happening only inside the computer, via the paths in the motherboard, so it could assume with high reliability that the data would be transmitted, and transmitted properly, whereas in IoT data flow is not always that reliable, as it flows through many other mediums. Let me know your thoughts on this.
Hi I would know in order to replace a Honeywell FSC Unit with Siemens, would it be rational to migrate the Program too or should I start from scratch and throw the FSC away?
Thank you for calling it out for what it is! I don't trust people that sugar-coat anything! I don't understand why these foundation members focus so much on their product not playing well with other products, thinking it gives them a leg-up. Why not spend more time improving your product so we integrators use THEIR products because it does play so well with others. How can they NOT see that this actually limits their client base? This is why people that love Allen-Bradley stick with Allen-Bradley and people that love Siemens stick with Siemens products.......... . How about increasing your sales by winning more customers by building better product. Exercise some common sense.
The most impressive explanation I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the clear picture of our limitations & what we should look at to be more open-minded in automation for Industry 4.0
Thanks for the comment.
Awesome as usual! Can't wait for the next vid! Need more green! More Soylent green!
beaucoup ... beaucoup ... beaucoup ... beaucoup dollars // great video overview that was fun to watch as well
Amazing explanation
Glad you think so!
It’s not just a mess, it’s a F$@king mess. Hahahaha love the transparency 👍
Thank you DeWayne!!!

Well done!

So is OPC UA its own communication protocol like PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, MODBUS TCP Etc? Or what isit?
OPC-UA is a standard that, when implemented, acts like a protocol.
@@4.0Solutions ok. can you elaborate more?
Isit also on layer 7 (application layer) like profinet?
Isit secure as profinet?
Whats the differences?
Very helpful Video! Im very happy to havé fou d your Channel!
We're glad you found us, too!

You da man.
thanks
Glad to help
What is the most used standard for transfering files between OT-networks? Not signals och datavalues just files such as flatfiles etc.
So what are other options besides Kepware OPC UA that allow you to keep your servers in house?
Take a look at an MQTT Broker like HiveMQ or EMQ-X
3:30 not mincing words haha
Thank you!

That’s what we’re here for! The unfiltered truth!
What is CNC?
Computer numerical controller
@@4.0Solutions thanks. I keep on forgetting you guys come from a manufacturing background and I come from an energy (oil and gas) SCADA background
Jeff who ?
Opc going to be failed Soon It's already failed
