OPC Development Services
Delivering Quality and Easy to Maintain Solutions
OPC is a widely accepted enabling technology for industrial communication and helps users to move beyond “closed” or proprietary solutions. As a vendor of a software application and/or a device having OPC Connectivity has become the in facto standard for communicating between different vendor systems and opens the door to new business possibilities and markets.
With over 10,000+ hours developing custom OPC servers for complex protocols, OPC clients for various vendors hardware and software applications as well as developing OPC Product Solutions such as OPC Tunnelling, UA Proxies, OPC Security Gateways, and redundancy. WRA’s OPC Development Team and OPC Consultants will help you design an OPC interface that is robust, scalable, interoperable, and supportable.
At White Room Automation we make it a priority to understand both your technical and business requirements of your software application and/or hardware device and use a proven OPC Development methodology to develop a OPC solution that meets your needs and ensures project success.

Outsource your Development and Software Support
The true cost of having OPC connectivity comes after the initial development. These costs are significant to both research and development and project groups. Project overruns, interoperability issues, latent defects correction, and product modifications to incorporate new requirements and enhancements are all a part of the normal OPC product life cycle.
Research has shown that the majority Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for OPC is post-deployment. Post deployment is where user software requirements, and the environment in which the software is implemented account for 41 per cent of support/maintenance costs. That is to say, more than half of all software support is driven by changes in the system’s environment. Industry analysts estimate that the cost of this maintenance equals or exceeds the initial cost of your OPC software, and can be as high as twice or three times the purchase price over the life of the OPC solution.
WRA will help to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your OPC Interface. WRA does this through the OPC Development best practices (Agile/Scrum/Lean) with a focus on innovation that takes a story-based approach to translate assumptions into requirements through validated learning.
By working with WRA OPC Development Engineers we will help you:
Define both business and technical requirements
Design the system based on the environment the OPC solution will be deployed
Provide you with implementation expertise and plan for its operational life.
This reduces your risk of managing industrial connectivity systems by ensuring that they are modifiable, expandable, flexible, interoperable, and supportable.
