From OPC UA machine semantics to real-time ROI intelligence

30 minutes

Peter Seeberg talks to Dr. Marcel Matějka and Mika Vlastislav from PPROI about OPC UA machine semantics for real-time ROI intelligence.

In this episode, I dive into how industrial production data can be transformed into real economic value with the help of capital employed, money-time metrics, and ROI-based management. I'm joined by Marcel Matějka and Vlastislav Mika from PPROI, who share groundbreaking insights on measuring capital employed and how this approach can reshape both economic theory and enterprise information systems.

We also explore the pivotal role OPC UA plays in connecting machine data with economic outcomes, and discuss practical ways this integration empowers smarter decision-making at every level—from the shop floor to the boardroom. Whether you're curious about digitalization, AI, or the next big leap in industrial economics, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on the future of smart manufacturing.
