Set up and configure basic OPC UA client-server communication for industrial use cases
Evaluate real-world industrial automation scenarios where OPC UA is applied for interoperability and IT/OT convergence.
Explain OPC UA architecture and key concepts such as address space, information modeling, services, and security.
Interpret and apply OPC UA security mechanisms including authentication, encryption, and certificates.

Requirements
No prior knowledge of OPC UA is required – this course starts from the fundamentals.
Basic programming skills C or python will be enough

Description
Are you ready to master the fundamentals of OPC UA and understand how it powers modern industrial automation and Industry 4.0? This course is designed for students, engineers, and managers who want to learn how industrial devices securely communicate, exchange data, and integrate into connected factory systems.We begin with the basics of OPC UA — understanding its architecture, client-server model, information modeling, and security features. Even if you are new to the topic, the course breaks down complex concepts into simple explanations, ensuring a smooth learning path.From there, we move into hands-on practice using Node-RED, a powerful open-source tool for visual programming and IIoT integration. You will learn how to simulate a factory floor, create your own OPC UA server, and model data to represent real-world machines, sensors, and actuators. You’ll then use an OPC UA client to read, write, and control inputs and outputs, monitoring variables and building live automation flows.To complete your journey, you will test your setup hands-on and apply everything you’ve learned to practical industrial scenarios. By the end of this course, you will not only understand the fundamentals of OPC UA but also gain practical implementation skills you can immediately use in projects or career development.Whether you are preparing for a career in industrial automation, enhancing your engineering knowledge, or seeking managerial insights into Industry 4.0, this course will give you the solid foundation and real-world practice needed to succeed

Who this course is for
University students in electrical, electronics, computer, or industrial automation fields who want to understand industrial communication standards
Entry-level automation engineers looking to build a solid foundation in OPC UA for their career in Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.
Industrial automation professionals who are new to OPC UA and want to understand its role in interoperability and IT/OT integration.
Managers, project leads, and decision-makers in automation who need a clear, non-technical overview of OPC UA to make informed strategic decisions.
Anyone interested in Industry 4.0 and IIoT who wants to learn how OPC UA enables secure, scalable communication in industrial systems.
