MatrikonOPC Acquires Embedded Labs’ Software Technology

 

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, MAY 23, 2013 - MatrikonOPC™ announced today that it has acquired OPC Unified Architecture (UA) Embedded Server Software Development Kit (SDK) technology from Embedded Labs Ltd., the world’s leading provider of the technology, and positions MatrikonOPC at the forefront of the emerging device-to-enterprise open data connectivity segment.

As the next generation of OPC, the powerful and flexible features of OPC UA provide control automation systems with open standard connectivity regardless of the operating system (OS) being used and for the first time, for low-level devices that do not even use an OS.

“This technology complements MatrikonOPC’s existing portfolio,” said Jeff Gould, general manager-MatrikonOPC. “Unified Architecture technology extends our data connectivity offerings from the desktop down to the micro-controller level.”
