Bridging Legacy OPC Classic Servers(DA, AE, HDA) to SnapLogic via OPC UA Wrapper
Despite significant advances in industrial automation, many critical devices still rely on legacy OPC Classic servers (DA, AE, HDA). Integrating these aging systems with modern platforms presents challenges such as protocol incompatibility and the absence of native OPC UA support. Meanwhile, modern integration and analytics platforms increasingly depend on OPC UA for secure, scalable connectivity. This post addresses these challenges by demonstrating how the OPC UA Wrapper can seamlessly bridge OPC Classic servers to SnapLogic. Through a practical use case—detecting missing reset anomalies in saw-toothed wave signals from an OPC Simulation DA Server—you’ll discover how to enable real-time monitoring and alerting without costly infrastructure upgradesIndustrial IoT – Turbine Lubrication Oil Level Monitoring & Alert Mechanism via OPC UA and SnapLogic
In the energy sector, turbine lubrication oil is mission-critical. A drop in oil level or pressure can silently escalate into major failures, unplanned shutdowns, and expensive maintenance windows. In this blog, we showcase a real-world implementation using SnapLogic and OPC UA, designed to: 🔧 Continuously monitor turbine lubrication oil levels 📥 Ingest real-time sensor data from industrial systems 📊 Store telemetry in data lakes for analytics and compliance 📣 Real-time Slack alerts to engineers — before failures strike This IIoT-driven solution empowers energy providers to adopt predictive maintenance practices and reduce operational riskIndustrial IoT – OPC UA Real-Time Motor Overheat Detection and Auto-Shutdown Using SnapLogic
Industrial motors are critical assets in manufacturing and process industries, where overheating can result in costly downtime or catastrophic failure. In this blog, we demonstrate how SnapLogic and OPC UA were used to build a real-time, event-driven pipeline that detects motor overheating, initiates an automated shutdown, logs events for auditing, and notifies the maintenance/engineering team
