One of the main challenges in business applications is the reliable capture of data in real time<\/strong> or near real time (applications that collect diverse data such as time and material consumption, temperatures, or weights).<\/p>\n

Companies cannot afford to have these applications collect data with errors, since poor data quality impairs decision-making<\/strong> and, in many cases, leads to poor business performance.<\/p>\n

In the SAP application there is a communication model with a PC<\/strong>, but it is not well developed. For communication between an ERP such as SAP and an OPC Server to be effective and accurate, and to avoid errors, companies need to improve communication with an OPC Router.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

What is the Bidirectional Communication between an OPC Server and an ERP Such as SAP like?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

OPC servers<\/strong> provide data from different information sources (e.g., process control systems) that an OPC client can read. At the same time, OPC servers can receive data from an OPC client and process it<\/strong>. Therefore, these servers allow access to a large number of elements from a wide variety of data sources (e.g., process control systems). <\/p>\n

Together with an OPC server, the ERP system<\/strong> can read or write values on the server. OPC Router allows you to create an interface<\/strong> that is easily configured and maintained to control infrastructures under an OPC Server or without one, and to communicate bidirectionally between any element that conforms the infrastructure.<\/p>\n

This bidirectional communication between an OPC Server and an ERP<\/strong> such as SAP, enabled and facilitated by an OPC Router, brings many advantages to companies.<\/p>\n
