Why Bring in the OPC Expert

When OPC was first introduced it was marketed as “Plug and Play” and touted as the universal connectivity technology that enables you to put the best hardware and software solution to fit your specific needs. It was also an affordable and easy option for vendor connectivity.

As such OPC has become the standard for industrial connectivity. However there are some pitfalls that have emerged. Because of its low up-front initial costs (compared to the rest of the project) OPC is often treated as an afterthought. Users and large vendors often put so little planning into OPC that the “Plug and Play” project often turns into a “Plug and Pray” or an “Oh Please Connect” project.

Failure to define OPC project requirements, including OPC product quality issues, interoperability issues, OPC product expertise, and poor OPC software deployment and design, can drive unplanned project costs. These issues can also delay project commissioning, and cause unplanned production outages that lead to operational downtime of critical systems and operational safety issues. Depending on the project, these costs can range from hundreds to millions of dollars.

The highly regarded OPC professionals at White Room Automation can help mitigate such project risks by:

  • Providing the right expertise in designing appropriate system architectures early in OPC projects

  • Offering vendor-neutral advice to help resolve product and interoperability issues quickly

  • Documenting and designing specific training for your OPC system for project pass-off

  • Planning and documenting OPC disaster recovery procedures, and

  • Designing and documenting OPC change management procedures to comply with regulatory regulations and system stability
