OPC Foundation

Here is OPC Foundation in plain terms. The OPC Foundation is dedicated to ensuring interoperability in automation. In practice that means solving a specific business problem with software.

Who is it for? Mostly teams in its space. Alongside the main category they mention Non Profit and Service Industry. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

OPC Foundation is based in Chagrin Falls, Ohio and founded in 1996. You can read more at opcfoundation.org.

Things worth asking about: pricing, support, and how it fits with the tools you already use. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with OPC Foundation, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
