The market leading producer of collaborative robots, Universal Robots, is now supporting the OPC UA standard to their robots. Norwegian software company Rocketfarm has developed the application that enables UR robots to support OPC UA. Available through the developer network UR+.
“We initially developed the software for a local factory but thought it would be great if this functionality could be available for anyone who wants to connect UR robots with OPC UA. Finally, we have a version that fully complies with the OPC UA standard, including necessary security features,” says Egil Mundal, CEO of Rocketfarm.
