OPC-UA Integration and Industrial Communications

We connect machines, PLCs, SCADA, MES and ERP systems using OPC-UA and standard industrial protocols. The foundation of any Industry 4.0 project.

What is OPC-UA?

Connect your entire plant with OPC-UA and industrial communications

OPC-UA (OPC Unified Architecture) is the most important international industrial communication standard of the last decade. It enables secure, reliable data exchange between machines, PLCs, SCADA, MES and ERP systems, regardless of manufacturer or platform. It is the backbone of any Industry 4.0 project.

At Bluemation we implement complete industrial communication architectures: from configuring OPC-UA servers in PLCs to integration with higher-level platforms such as MES systems, ERP or data analytics platforms. We also work with all other standard industrial protocols according to each project's requirements.

A well-designed communications architecture eliminates information silos, enables full traceability of the production process and is the first step towards any industrial digitalisation project.

Protocols and Technologies

Industrial protocols we work with

OPC-UA

M2M and vertical communication standard. Secure, cross-platform and recommended by all major automation manufacturers.

Profinet

Siemens industrial Ethernet protocol. Standard in installations with S7 PLCs and Siemens and third-party field devices.

EtherNet/IP

Rockwell industrial protocol over standard Ethernet. Widely used in energy and North American manufacturing.

Modbus TCP / RTU

Universal protocol for communication with instrumentation, drives and field devices from any manufacturer.

Profibus DP

Classic fieldbus for field devices with Siemens PLCs. Maintenance and migration of existing installations.

MQTT / REST API

IoT protocols for sending data to the cloud, analytics platforms and higher-level systems. The basis of IIoT projects.

Our Services

Everything our communications integration covers

OPC-UA server configuration

We configure OPC-UA servers in Siemens, Beckhoff, Rockwell and other manufacturer PLCs. Node space definition, security and certificate management.

PLC-SCADA-MES-ERP integration

Complete vertical communication architectures: from sensor to ERP, via PLC, SCADA and MES, with the right protocols at each level.

Gateways and protocol conversion

We install and configure industrial gateways to connect devices with different protocols: Modbus to OPC-UA, Profibus to Profinet and other conversions.

Network segmentation and OT cybersecurity

We design secure network architectures with IT/OT separation, industrial firewalls, DMZ and security zones in line with IEC 62443.

Digitalisation and data analytics

We collect process data via OPC-UA or MQTT and send it to analytics platforms, historians or the cloud for analysis and reporting.

Existing network diagnostics

We audit existing industrial networks: traffic analysis, bottleneck detection, topology documentation and improvement recommendations.
