OPC Day Finland 2024

Main Theme: 20 Years of Standardized Manufacturing Data Exchange

OPC Day Finland is an institution that was started 2005 - meaning this year we are celebrating with the 20th event!

Meanwhile, OPC UA (IEC 62541) has become a widely used standard in the industry. It enables secure integration of intelligent machines, devices and industrial applications over standard communication and information exchange.

OPC Day Finland is gathering the best experts from the world to discuss the technology and use cases - from sensors to rockets in space! By arranging this yearly event, we want to help everyone working in manufacturing, OT and IT, to apply this standard for smarter solutions in all communication.
