Unlock the Future of Industrial Automation with OPA

Industrial process automation is undergoing a transformation. As manufacturers move away from proprietary, closed systems, the demand for open, flexible, and vendor-neutral automation has never been greater.

Through this resource, explore how modern enterprises can begin their journey toward Open Process Automation (OPA) using the O-PAS™ Standard, a game-changing framework for building interoperable, future-proof control systems.

In This White Paper, You’ll Learn:

  • Why the shift away from proprietary architectures is essential for long-term scalability and security
  • How OPA helps avoid vendor lock-in and improves multi-vendor system interoperability
  • What business drivers are fueling the need for flexible, modular automation
  • Steps to begin your OPA journey, even if you're working with legacy systems


Why Open Process Automation Matters

Legacy industrial systems are rigid, costly to upgrade, and often expose manufacturers to unnecessary risks. Open Process Automation (OPA), based on the O-PAS™ Standard, allows organizations to:

  • Break free from vendor lock-in
  • Reduce total cost of ownership
  • Enhance system lifecycle flexibility
  • Improve cybersecurity and compliance
  • Enable real-time data integration across systems

Whether you’re just beginning your OPA journey or evaluating how to modernize legacy systems, this white paper provides a clear roadmap. Start building your path to interoperable, secure, and future-ready automation today.
