The Open Process Automation™ Forum (OPAF) is a forum of The Open Group. The forum is responsible for development of the Open Process Automation Standard (O-PAS™ Standard) and various other supporting documents.
The Open Group Open Process Automation™ Forum (OPAF) held initial formation meetings in 2016 in San Francisco, California [1]. By December 2016, there were 41 member organizations that had joined the forum during the pre-formation stage. [1] The forum was officially formed in 2017 [2] [3].
In 2019, ExxonMobil announced a collaboration agreement with six (6) other companies: Aramco Services Company, BASF, Dow Chemical Company, Georgia-Pacific, ConocoPhillips, and Linde plc. An ExxonMobil test bed was to be operationalized later that year whereby the collaboration partners could test and evaluate the performance of individual components. [4]
OPAF requires organizations to establish membership with The Open Group before participating in the forum. As of March 2024, the membership roster lists 90+ organizations. Majority of the organizations on the member list are end users, system integrators, and vendors within the process automation industry. [5]
There are eight (8) distributed control system (DCS) vendors listed on the OPAF membership roster [5]:
The forum has four main working groups (listed below) and a project manager. [6] The forum has two elected cochairs and a forum director. Each working group is led by two elected cochairs. [7]
The O-PAS™ Standard
O PAS™ Adoption Guide
The Open Process Automation™ Business Guide
The Security Approach of the O-PAS™ Standard
Improving Profitability through Open Process Automation™ Systems
Open Standards in Process Automation: The Key to Industrial Profitability
Requirements for an Open Process Automation™ Standard
The Open Process Automation Forum maintains external relationships with a number of standards development organizations and trade associations [13].
There are dozens of media coverage articles on OPAF listed on the organization website that span 2016 to present. [20]
An Automation.com article from January 2017 groups "suppliers that have joined the effort" as each being in one of "three camps of motivation". [1]
An LNS Research article from 2017 outlines three possible outcomes for the O-PAS initiative: (A) limited selection, (B) stable and viable market, and (C) lowest common denominator [21]
An Automation World article from December 2019 did an overview of the Open Process Automation Forum a few years after formation. The article positions membership at around 135 organizations. The article positively covered the work done by the forum up to that point. It also balances the positive coverage by reporting that "not everyone agrees that this open architecture approach is a good thing." It further details Honeywell and Emerson as two DCS suppliers electing to withhold OPAF participation. [22]
