Dear OPC UA Enthusiast,

We are looking back on another successful year for OPC UA and many new OPC UA enabled products that emerged the market in 2015. We received a lot of positive feedback and we are proud that our SDKs and Tools have a significant influence in the wide adoption of the UA technology around the globe. We will continue to develop, enhance, and improve our Toolkits to provide best in class tooling for new challenges named IoT and Industry 4.0.

In 2015 we will again participate in many OPC Events. You can meet us at many major trade shows and OPC Days in Europe. We have plans to come to North America and showcase the UA technology and products. Details will follow at the beginning of next year.

To get you jump-started we have scheduled several OPC UA workshops, which will help you to get a fast and easy access to the topic.

We would like to encourage you to come and visit us at our upcoming events. If you can't make it yourself, please inform your colleagues and business partners.

On behalf of the entire Unified Automation team I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy and a successful New Year 2015.

Stay tuned on OPC UA. Hope you enjoy reading.

Yours sincerely
Jürgen Boxberger
CEO Unified Automation GmbH
