數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟和OPC基金會(huì)宣布簽署聯(lián)絡(luò)協(xié)議

Feb.6, 2023 - Today at the ARC Forum 2023, Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) and OPC Foundation announced a liaison agreement to accelerate the development and adoption of digital twin-enabling technologies. The DTC and the OPC Foundation have worked closely in several open-source reference implementation projects on GitHub and have agreed to collaborate even closer.

2023年2月6日 - 今天，在ARC2023論壇上，數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟（DTC）和OPC基金會(huì)宣布了一項(xiàng)聯(lián)絡(luò)協(xié)議，以加速數(shù)字孿生技術(shù)的開發(fā)和采用。數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟和OPC基金會(huì)在GitHub上的幾個(gè)開源參考實(shí)施項(xiàng)目中進(jìn)行了密切合作，并同意進(jìn)行更密切的合作。

“We are excited about working with OPC Foundation,” said Dan Isaacs, GM, and CTO of DTC. "Through our collaboration, we will influence interoperability standards and processes that will advance the use of digital twins in manufacturing across many industries.”

“我們很高興與OPC基金會(huì)合作，”數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟總經(jīng)理兼首席技術(shù)官Dan Isaacs說。“通過我們的合作，我們將影響互操作性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和流程，從而推動(dòng)數(shù)字孿生在許多行業(yè)制造中的使用。”

The DTC and OPC Foundation have agreed to the following activities:

·Collaborating on standardization requirements

·Realizing interoperability by harmonizing technology components and other elements

·Aligning work in horizontal domains for adoption in vertical domains and use cases, proof of concepts, and Value Innovation Platforms (VIP) programs, including:
  Technology, terminology, and taxonomy
  Security and trustworthiness
  Conceptual, informational, structural, and behavioral models
  Enabling technologies, such as simulation and AI
  Technology stack across the digital twin lifecycle
  Case study development

·Developing and understanding open-source reference implementations

數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟和OPC基金會(huì)同意展開如下活動(dòng)：

· 在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化要求方面進(jìn)行合作
· 通過協(xié)調(diào)技術(shù)組件和其他元素，實(shí)現(xiàn)互操作性
· 調(diào)整橫向領(lǐng)域的工作，以便在垂直領(lǐng)域和用例、概念驗(yàn)證和價(jià)值創(chuàng)新平臺（VIP）計(jì)劃中采用，包括：
    · 技術(shù)、術(shù)語和分類
    · 安全可信
    · 概念、信息、結(jié)構(gòu)和行為模型
    · 使能技術(shù)，例如仿真和人工智能
    · 跨越數(shù)字孿生生命周期的技術(shù)堆棧
    · 案例研究開發(fā)

· 開發(fā)和了解開源的參考實(shí)施方案

Stefan Hoppe, President OPC Foundation, said, “The OPC Foundation maintains the global standard for secure industrial interoperability for information modeling and data exchange, which, as part of this relationship with DTC, benefits all who wish to create semantically identical digital twins. Our involvement to liaise with DTC further strengthens the user’s ability to model each data aspect quickly and precisely, creating and interacting with any digital twin. Digital twins will be fully compatible with the OPC UA framework used in the run-time components within the operational domain.”

OPC基金會(huì)主席Stefan Hoppe表示：“OPC基金會(huì)維護(hù)著信息建模和數(shù)據(jù)交換的安全工業(yè)互操作性的全球標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，作為與數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟關(guān)系的一部分，這將使所有希望創(chuàng)建語義相同的數(shù)字孿生的人受益。我們與數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟的聯(lián)絡(luò)，進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)了用戶快速精確地對每個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)方面進(jìn)行建模、創(chuàng)建任何數(shù)字孿生模型并與之交互的能力。數(shù)字孿生將與操作域內(nèi)運(yùn)行時(shí)組件中使用的OPC UA框架完全兼容。”

“As one of the key contributors to Digital Twin Consortium’s open-source program, Microsoft saw the rising demand for open digital twin technology and industrial interoperability standards like OPC UA. The collaboration of OPC Foundation and DTC will continue to elevate the impact of digital twin technologies. These two organizations have already started collaborating on open-source projects and these projects will expand to include emerging technologies,” said Erich Barnstedt, Chief Architect Standards, Consortia and Industrial IoT, Azure Edge + Platform, Microsoft Corporation.

微軟公司Azure Edge+平臺標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、聯(lián)盟和工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)首席架構(gòu)師Erich Barnstedt說：“作為數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟開源計(jì)劃的主要貢獻(xiàn)者之一，微軟看到了對開放式數(shù)字孿生技術(shù)和OPC UA等工業(yè)互操作性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的需求不斷上升。OPC基金會(huì)和數(shù)字孿生聯(lián)盟的合作將繼續(xù)提升數(shù)字孿生技術(shù)的影響力。這兩個(gè)組織已經(jīng)開始在開源項(xiàng)目上進(jìn)行合作，這些項(xiàng)目將擴(kuò)大到包括新興技術(shù)。”

Both consortia will exchange information through regular consultations, joint contributor relations, seminars, open-source projects, and other activities.

兩大聯(lián)盟將通過定期磋商、聯(lián)合貢獻(xiàn)者關(guān)系、研討會(huì)、開源項(xiàng)目和其他活動(dòng)來交流信息。
