Machinery and plant engineering is considered as one of the innovation drivers of the German economy. With its technologies, this industry includes all areas of life. For example, it provides new solutions in the fields of engine technology, energy efficiency, resource preservation and medicine. The largest network organization in Germany and Europe, with around 3,300 members, is the German Engineering Federation (VDMA). For communication and data connection between machine and IT, OPC UA increasingly established itself as a standard in industrial automation. This is an open and flexible communication protocol for automation applications.
