Unified Locating as the Key to Physical AI Creating a Common Language for Spatial Intelligence

Through the joint formation of the GPos Experts Group, this collaboration brings together identification, locating, and communication in a common spatial context. Industrial automation is facing a paradigm shift: machines, robots, and mobile systems are learning to “understand” space. With the new OPC UA Companion Specification for Identification and Locating, a common language of “spatial intelligence” was established. The new specification is considered a milestone for the next evolutionary stage of industrial intelligence.
