Hello community,

I have been forwarded to this repo by VDMA when I asked about the way os having a "library" for storing my own companion spec due to the limitations of storing them in a RDBMS. It seems that it is what I was looking for, nevertheless, I don't have a clear idea about the procedure to deploy it in my company, first, in terms of procedure and WoW and second in terms of infrastructure. I need to said that we cannot use any Cloud as suggested and everything should run on premises in a datacenter without internet access.

I would appreciate so much if someone explains to me how they are using the library in their respectives companies.

Thanks in advance.

You need a docker-cable PC or VM and we've created a Docker compose file for you here: https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-CloudLibrary/blob/main/docker-compose.yml

Thank you. I have it deployed and running. Do you have a procedure for developing, maintaining and versioning internal nodesets for specific UC? How do you develop a new one based on existing ones? how do you keep everything linked and under control?

Any help would be appreciated.

You can refer to existing nodesets via its namespace URI and then use types defined in them in a new nodeset. Lots of information models in the UA cloud Library do this. Just have a look at the nodeset files to figure out how.

Yes...that is understood. The thing is...how to manage creation, traceability, versioning... I would like to use the library as a database for the assets of my plant, where I have 8 clear processes with several machines that maybe will require to customize each process a bit in order to adapt it to the machine...I would like to understand the scalability and organizational aspects.

Got it. SIEMENS launched a free tool called Siome which is a really good OPC UA model editor, but there are other commercial solutions, too. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip6OaXNBn6U
