About : event based approach that can monitor data in real time and then automatically trigger a production process ,

This will be achieved by OPC UA sever , is it correct? if yes, please tell me the best one to work efficient with SAP .

Hi Hady,

We support several types of servers including OPC UA (we also support IP21, OPC DA, OPC HDA, Asset Framework and Proficy Historian) but OPC UA is a good choice due to its built in security.

As for the choice of the OPC UA server that depends completely on what hardware you are trying to communicate with. Some hardware natively supports OPC UA, others require a 3rd party "translation" tool to convert the actual machines protocol into OPC UA. Examples include Forcam Force Edge, Telit deviceWise, KepServerEX ......... and many more.

Thanks

Kevin
