Since the VDMA OPC Vision initiative is a joint working group of VDMA Machine Vision, OPC Foundation and other international machine vision associations (AIA, EMVA, JIIA, CMVU), each organisation has its own rules regarding the process for the final release.
After all these release processes have been completed, OPC Vision will be ready for final release from Q1/2019.
So far, OPC Vision Part 1 has been specified to the best of the working group's knowledge and belief.
After discussions within the board of VDMA Machine Vision, with other divisions of VDMA and exploratory talks with the OPC Foundation, the VDMA
OPC Vision initiative started work in autumn 2016.
