The global production language

Why does it make sense for machines, components and systems from
different industries to communicate across and among each other?
And what opportunities and challenges does the global production
language offer? These questions are discussed by Andreas Faath,
Head of Machine Information Interoperability at VDMA, and Stefan
Hoppe, President of the OPC Foundation, in the latest episode of
VDMA's Industry Podcast. "Digital business models and value
creation along the entire value chain only emerge when data and
information are exchanged among each other. This forms the basis
for today's innovation drivers in the context of Industrie 4.0,"
says Andreas Faath. OPC UA is the technological basis for the
interoperable exchange of data.
