Award winner's comments

OPC UA has been attracting attention worldwide since it was evaluated by the Federal Cyber Security Authority (German Government BSI) in 2015 and became an industry-standard communication standard. In overseas projects, the number of cases where OPC UA support is added to the requirements increases. Therefore, we would like to continue researching to be used safely and securely in terms of operation.
