Tiivistelmä
This thesis aimed to explore Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) and digital twins in critical infrastructure networks. The objective was selected to improve the data management in critical infrastructures, considering the increasing risks of cyber-attacks.
This study utilized multiple methods including the development of OPC-UA architecture and the construction of prototype digital replicas for the WaterLOOP and Savonia Smart Factory critical infrastructures. The results outlined significant improvements in the visualization, monitoring, and security of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in these critical infrastructures. The creation of digital replica models enhanced simulation capabilities and served as a proof of concept for future developments of digital twin.
The development of OPC-UA architecture and digital replicas provided a robust foundation for further advancement in critical infrastructure management, enabling more efficient and resilient smart manufacturing and water technologies.
