HITEC ZANG has expanded the LabVision software: As of version 2025.13, a new OPC UA server module is available. This allows process data, measured values, and status information from laboratory and automation environments to be provided in a standardized manner even more easily - serving as a basis for digitalization, system integration, and traceability.
In brief: OPC UA is a manufacturer-independent industrial standard for secure, structured data exchange. It enables interoperability between different manufacturers and offers integrated security such as encryption and authentication. Thanks to scalable data models, OPC UA is also future-proof and facilitates connection to SCADA, MES, and IT/Cloud.
What's new in LabVision 2025.13
- No limitation on the number of connections more flexibility for larger tag/data point structures and multiple clients
- Simplified operation – publish all data points from LabVision via OPC UA with just a few clicks for more efficient engineering and faster commissioning
- Fully automatic updates – including comments, identifiers, etc., for better maintainability and traceability
You can find the new module in LabVision under "Define / Special Objects."
The existing module has been renamed to "Legacy OPC UA Server" and continues to function unchanged – existing installations remain stable. Our experts will be happy to show you how to optimally integrate LabVision and OPC UA into your laboratory and automation environment.
