OPC-UA Adapter
Adapter between Mainflux IoT system and an OPC-UA Server.
This adapter sits between Mainflux and an OPC-UA server and just forwards the messages from one system to another.
OPC-UA Server is used for connectivity layer and the data is pushed via this adapter service to Mainflux, where it is persisted and routed to other protocols via Mainflux multi-protocol message broker. Mainflux adds user accounts, application management and security in order to obtain the overall end-to-end OPC-UA solution.
