New OPC UA – “Getting Started” course released!
The OPC Unified Architecture communication standard is one of the main technical pillars you can build a digital transformation project on.
This has been especially true for the industrial automation market over the last years, but currently OPC UA is making huge in-roads into other verticals, such as retail and logistics, used by companies transforming to be Industry 4.0-ready.
Its stability, resiliency and security features are hard to match and truly on enterprise level.
Our new Wechsler Consulting interactive online course provides an introduction to the OPC UA standard and pragmatically explains its different building blocks implementing a simple example in .NET Core using the Open Source OPC UA reference stack released by the OPC Foundation.
There is no faster way to get involved with OPC UA!
In addition – we take care of You!
This course includes two 45 minutes calls with the author to answer your questions, discuss ideas and get inspirations for your current or future project.

Microsoft Build 2020 coming up this week!
Microsoft teams have geared up, this time, of course, virtually, to present all the newest stuff from their development repositories. Looking at Azure IOT there is quite some interesting information in the pipe.
Focus, this year, seems to be on Azure Sphere and Digital Twins, although they might come up with some new stuff, as well.
So tune in, I’ll be there. 🙂
Interesting Industrial Azure IOT showcases from Festo, Kao, and AkzoNobel
We just stumbled about some quite interesting new showcases in the Industrial Azure IOT space that demonstrate quite good the bandwidth of different services leveraged in Azure ranging from operating IOT devices in the field to using AI and Machine learning creating new and innovative products by turning Big Data into Smart Data.
Festo for example, uses Azure IOT to create dashboards providing insight on all their deployed industrial IOT devices.
Azure networking capabilities move into the edge!
When implementing telemetry solutions with mobile systems, network latency can be a quite limiting factor. Communication retries are costly and also hinder a system to provide a real-time view on the current state.
To mitigate this risk you now are able to leverage Azure Edge Zones! Microsoft is teaming up with some Telcos leveraging the new 5G to provide a fast lane into Azure data centers.
This is approach, combining all the newest technologies, is able to provide ultra-low latency in the area of milliseconds response times. Especially looking at older mobile connections this is a performance gain in more than an order of magnitude and a great enabler, if your solution requires to be as close to reality as possible.
It is certainly also interesting to mention that this technology is also available for on-premise solutions, keeping the same APIs and services. Due this your solution can be ready for any network scenario.
Wechsler Consulting joins OPC Foundation
We are very happy to announce that Wechsler Consulting has joined the OPC Foundation as a corporate member.
The OPC Unified Architecture communication standard has been tremendously successful over the last years in the industrial automation space, but has a lot of beneficial functionality to offer for other vertical markets, as well.
Complete and seamless interoperability between devices is definitely the goal, when a company is transforming its business digitally and OPC UA is providing all to be a great asset in this context.
We at Wechsler Consulting are supporting our customer’s efforts with architectural consulting and training. Being a corporate member in the OPC Foundation standards body enables us to be on top of the newest developments and decisions for this very capable and efficient communication standard.
Due to this, we will be able to apply these, as fast as possible, in real world projects.
We have already started working on an “Getting Started” online course to help interested customers to jump start their OPC UA project.
The currently available course preview is free and gives a first glimpse, on what is to expect, laying the groundwork to be successful with OPC Unified Architecture.
Connect mobile devices securely leveraging Azure Sphere
We already have been talking about Azure Sphere in our recent posts and a Cloud News video earlier this year.
Seems like momentum is building up around this very interesting technology, as Swiss company qiio presents the first Azure Sphere guardian module having mobile (up tp 4G), WiFi and Ethernet connectivity options.
This is definitely an important step for the Azure Sphere eco-system, as seamless connectivity is the essential ingredient for any innovative IOT scenario.
