未来机械和植物工程领域的关键目标是实现气候中性的生产。欧盟的“欧洲绿色协议”为此提供了支持，该协议旨在在2050年之前使欧洲气候中立。
ODVA, OPC Foundation, PI, and VDMA founded the “Power Consumption Management” group in May 2022. In this group, the OPC UA interface standard for energy consumption data is being developed. Karsten Schneider, Chairman of PI, is looking forward to cooperation with the ODVA, the OPC Foundation, and VDMA: “The acquisition and analysis of energy consumption in machines and plants is an immensely important topic for the future.”
VDMA机器信息互操作部门负责人Andreas Faath表示：“这四个组织正在全速工作，以协调和标准化能源消耗信息。”“有了这一点，一个至关重要的构建基础，支持机械和植物工程行业的所有领域全球气候中立生产的目标。”
“Rapid transition to environmentally-sustainable energy use is the greatest challenge of our time and, as such, I am glad that we are proceeding together: PI and ODVA contributing their in-depth know-how on energy interfaces at the field level, with the internationally recognized OPC UA data modelling standard defining semantics and secure data transport, serving as the foundation of the Global Production Language developed by the VDMA”, says Stefan Hoppe, President OPC Foundation.
“ODVA is pleased to be an active contributor to this key initiative to optimize energy usage and thereby reduce the detrimental impact on the environment from waste,” said Dr. Al Beydoun, President and Executive Director of ODVA. “This Power Consumption Management collaboration will help ensure end users have a highly standardized and interoperable means to reach their environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) goals.”
The results of the working group will be published as a new OPC UA specification. Future releases of the OPC UA for Machinery specification will leverage these results, ensuring that energy information from all machines and components on the shop floor can be provided in a standardized way as part of the Global Production Language.
“该活动尤其是基于参与组织的现有标准；but also on other standards from the OPC Foundation, the VDMA, and external research,” says Heiko Herden, VDMA and elected chairperson of the new joint working group.“与其他用于机械用例的OPC UA结合使用，例如状态监控或工作管理，产品的计算和特定于生产的碳足迹将是可能的。”
在VDMA中，有600多家成员公司开发了全球生产语言。OPC UA伴侣规格，用于机械和植物工程行业的众多领域，由40个工作组创建。基本规范是“机械的OPC UA”，是一种特殊情况。在这里，在所有域中都定义了重要的构件。其他规格可以基于这些构件。
