OPC UA is widely used as a data exchange standard that bridges the gap between OT and IT. A key part of this standard consists of extensible information models and companion specifications. However, many solutions based on OPC UA fail to exploit the potential of these information models and companion specifications. This editorial explains the benefits offered by OPC UA information models and how information models interact with the other components in an IoT solution.

Since life began some 1 billion years ago, an intricate web of cycles and relationships has developed. Sunlight is the only input, and nothing is wasted. For the electrical industry, adopting a more circular approach to manufacturing can advance sustainability and offer unique economic opportunities, say Fernando Nuño and Bruno De Wachter, members of the advisory board for electrical manufacturing trade show, CWIEME Berlin.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the hero in the fight against friction and wear for years. However, there is also the other side of the coin: as a persistent material, PTFE is currently the focus of the discussion about a possible PFAS ban by the ECHA. Even if there is no ban, the motion plastics pioneer igus has good reasons to look for alternatives. With new formulations, extensive tests and adapted production processes, igus already offers its customers a wide range of PTFE-free products. Author: Dr-Ing. Magnus Orth is Head of Material Development and the Technical Centre at igus.
