OPC Foundation Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Angold from Fraunhofer FFB to unravel the transformative impact of the battery passport and the essential role OPC UA plays in making it a reality. We dive into what a digital product passport really is, why it matters for manufacturers, and how it’s set to change the way we understand battery life cycles, compliance, and sustainability. Lisa offers a behind-the-scenes look at fully digitalized battery cell production, the European regulations driving this shift, and the practical steps companies can take to get ahead. From real-world implementation stories to the open-source tools making interoperability possible, you’ll hear how these innovations are shaping the future of industrial data sharing. Whether you’re an industry veteran or just battery-curious, this conversation will spark new ideas for your own digital transformation journey.

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.
