Data Interoperability

Definition

Data Interoperability describes the ability of different production systems to seamlessly exchange and jointly utilize data, for example, through standardized formats like OPC UA.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Faster data exchange between systems.

• Transparency: Unified data foundation for decision-making.

• Flexibility: Integration of new systems without complexity.

Applications

Critical in the manufacturing industry, for example, for connecting MES, ERP, and IoT devices. Promotes interconnected production in smart factories.
