Thanks to the OPC UA protocol, we offer full compliance with Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory applications by facilitating the integration of robots with SCADA, HMI, MES, ERP and other automation systems. The add-on package creates an OPC UA Server platform that is fully integrated on the robot and does not require complex installation. The user can easily configure the variables to be shared and open them to remote systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rwcustema-mainheading mainHeading\"><div class=\"inner\"><div class=\"icon rwcusicon\"><svg class=\"rwcusicon-icon68\"><use href=\"#rwcusicon-icon68\"><\/use><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"text\">General Features<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OPC UA Compatibility:<\/strong> Provides secure and uninterrupted data exchange with all supported client devices with the OPC UA standard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real-time Data Sharing:<\/strong> KUKA robots&#8217; movements, instant position information, signal data and error codes can be monitored in real time. In addition, user-defined variables can be easily added to the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bidirectional Communication:<\/strong> OPC UA clients can send commands to robots and control processes.
