The pattern in industrial automation is the same every cycle: a vendor proposes a "next generation" platform, an operator pays a fortune to migrate, ten years later they're locked in worse than before.
Open Process Automation is the first serious attempt to break that pattern — and it's working, in real plants, right now.
But the people who could benefit from it most don't have a place to talk to each other. Their conferences are dominated by vendor sponsorships. Published material is either confidential or markety. The questions they actually have go unanswered because there's nowhere to ask.
OPA Community exists to be that place.
