As well, Software Toolbox will work with their customer to get them the OPC training they may need to realize the full potential of OPC technology.
OPC is an industrial connectivity standard that enables process control and manufacturing applications to communicate with each other using an interoperable, reliable and secure connection.
Interoperability is apparent due to support by over 3000 companies with well over 15,000 unique OPC applications.
"OPC is a great technology that we have supported since its inception in 1996," says John Weber, President of Software Toolbox: "It has evolved into a true interoperable standard but without the proper implementation, projects can take longer and cost more than they should.
Software Toolbox has partnered with OPCTI to provide an increased level of service to our customers.
We have been a long-time active participant in OPC Interoperability and Certification processes.
Keeping with this tradition, we encourage users to attend OPCTI training courses, which in turn will help to maximize their return on investment in OPC technology".
Topics covered in the workshops include OPC and DCOM diagnostics, system architecture, OPC client application design, and OPC server design.
"Software Toolbox has a reputation for quality service and support in the process control and discrete manufacturing industry sectors," says Randy Kondor, President of OPCTI: "We are very pleased that this partnership has been formed.
Both companies are strong supporters of the OPC Foundation and by working together we continue to strengthen the OPC standard through training and education".
OPCTI is the only company endorsed by OPC Foundation member companies to award the Certified OPC Professional (COP) designation.
Holders of the COP designation have demonstrated proficiency with OPC technology, design architecture, and installations.
