The need for open-source IPC solutions has been recognized by the industrial automation community, and several open-source projects have emerged in recent years. However, these projects often focus on specific aspects of IPC, such as data acquisition or control algorithms, and lack a comprehensive framework for integrating various components.
OpenIPC: An Open-Source Framework for Industrial Process Control openipc
The OpenIPC framework is designed using a modular architecture, with each module communicating with others through standardized interfaces. This allows for easy integration of new components and scalability of the system. The need for open-source IPC solutions has been
Industrial process control (IPC) systems play a crucial role in monitoring and controlling industrial processes, ensuring efficiency, safety, and product quality. However, traditional IPC systems are often proprietary, expensive, and inflexible, limiting their adaptability to changing industrial needs. This paper proposes OpenIPC, an open-source framework for industrial process control that leverages open-source software and hardware to provide a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution. We discuss the design and architecture of OpenIPC, its key components, and the benefits it offers over traditional IPC systems. We also present a case study demonstrating the effectiveness of OpenIPC in a real-world industrial setting. This allows for easy integration of new components

The framework is built using open-source software, including Linux, Python, and open-source databases. The use of open-source software enables OpenIPC to be highly customizable and adaptable to different industrial needs.
