DeviceXPlorer OPC Server and GENESIS64: Powering Real-Time Visibility and Analysis in the Factory
As digital transformation accelerates across manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, real-time data collection, visualization, and analysis have become essential. GENESIS64, a leading HMI/SCADA solution from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, Inc. (MEIDS), plays a central role in this transformation. When paired with the OPC UA-compatible server software, DeviceXPlorer OPC Server, it enables seamless access to production data, helping operators optimize operations, detect issues early, and improve production efficiency.
However, even robust systems like these can face a critical challenge.
The Hidden Risk: Data Loss During Communication Interruptions
In typical configurations, GENESIS64 communicates directly with DeviceXPlorer OPC Server to retrieve real-time data. But what happens when that communication link is disrupted? The answer is clear: data loss issues arise. Any data generated during the downtime may be permanently lost, creating blind spots in operational history and analysis.
Fortunately, there’s a powerful solution: OPC UA Historical Access.
