This document specifies an OPC UA Information Model for the representation of a machine vision system.

OPC Machine Vision Part 1 concerned itself with the control & behavior of machine vision systems and their integration into production control and IT systems.

OPC Machine Vision Part 2 focuses on the management and monitoring of machine vision systems and their components for asset management systems, taking into account existing and emerging standards in these areas, like OPC for Devices and OPC for Machinery.

Part 2 thus aims at integrating machine vision systems into Industry 4.0 systems for monitoring the health of production equipment, predictive maintenance, data analytics, optimization of processes, resource efficiency, etc.
