OPC (Open Platform Communications) is a set of standardized communication protocols used in industrial automation to enable interoperability between hardware and software from different manufacturers, such as PLCs, sensors, and SCADA systems. Its modern iteration, OPC UA (Unified Architecture), is widely used in manufacturing and process industries as part of Industry 4.0 initiatives. Automation engineers and systems integrators use it to ensure devices from different vendors can exchange real-time data securely.
