Therefore, the heterogeneity of entities, both hardware and software, must be handled to achieve an operative interoperability and a proper behavior. However, there is also a heterogeneous availability of solutions; different technologies, protocols, and architectures aim to achieve a seamless interconnection. Henceforth, the standardization still requires great efforts from industrial and scientific environments. In this sense, the interface of the open platform communications (OPC) has supported connectivity for automation and supervision infrastructures for more than two decades. The OPC comprises the so-called classic OPC, the original protocol, as well as the last specification, unified architecture (UA). The widespread utilization of the classic OPC together with the powerful functionalities of OPC UA, make the latter one of the main candidates to lead the standardization and systems integration. This paper presents a survey of recent OPC-based systems reported in scientific literature for different domains as well as research projects. The goal of this paper is to provide a broad perspective about the OPC\u2019 applicability and capabilities in order to support the decision about communication interfaces. The results are analyzed and discussed putting special attention on the aforementioned new paradigms. Finally, the main conclusions and open research directions are highlighted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics8050510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,13]],"date-time":"2019-05-13T05:35:39Z","timestamp":1557725739000},"page":"510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["A Literature Survey on Open Platform Communications (OPC) Applied to Advanced Industrial Environments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5645-3832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isa\u00edas","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation, University of Extremadura, Avenida de Elvas, s\/n, 06006 Badajoz, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2094-209X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio Jos\u00e9","family":"Calder\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation, University of Extremadura, Avenida de Elvas, s\/n, 06006 Badajoz, Spain"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Mechatronics Engineering\u2014CEM, University of \u00c9vora, R.
