Open Platform Communications (OPC) Unified Architecture (UA) Sensor Gateway Market Development Factors: What’s Supporting Demand?
The increasing uptake of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the open platform communications (OPC) unified architecture (UA) sensor gateway market. This refers to the integration of networked sensors, equipment, and smart systems within industrial settings, facilitating live data acquisition, supervision, and machine-to-machine interactions. A primary factor accelerating IIoT’s adoption is the rising drive towards factory automation, as industries aim to improve operational effectiveness, minimize interruptions, and enable proactive maintenance via uninterrupted device connectivity throughout production facilities. The growing implementation of IIoT-enabled devices consequently boosts the need for OPC UA sensor gateways, given their role as essential communication links that convert and convey information from various industrial sensors to central control units. For example, the World Robotics report, issued in September 2023 by the Germany-based International Federation of Robotics, indicated 553,052 industrial robot deployments globally in factories, showing a 5% year-on-year increase in 2022. Hence, the widespread incorporation of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is propelling the expansion of the open platform communications (OPC) unified architecture (UA) sensor gateway market.
