OPC UA Realization for simplified commissioning of adaptive sensing applications for the 5G IIoT

Abstract The number of field devices in today’s industrial automation systems and tomorrow’s 5G-enabled ones is tremendously growing. To increase the commissioning efficiency of these devices and reduce the manual effort, earlier we proposed a simplified commissioning approach for an edge computing-based plug & use functionality using NFC tags coupled with information models. In the presented work extension, we discuss a realization of our application scenarios and use-cases for 5G-enabled field devices using the versatile OPC UA.
