Small Modular Reactors demand highly reliable, cyber-secure, and automated control systems, as operators are rarely on site. Texas A&M used the COPA 500 to demonstrate how SMRs can be co-piloted by AI while maintaining industrial-grade safety and reliability.

Today’s industrial control systems are connected, data-driven, and increasingly dependent on remote access and modern compute.
OPA exists because end users reached a hard conclusion: meaningful innovation in industrial automation cannot occur inside closed, single-vendor platforms.
Today, industrial operators face a convergence of pressures: aging control estates, rising cybersecurity risk, rapid advances in computing and analytics, and growing expectations to continuously improve efficiency without increasing operational headcount.
One of the most common misconceptions about Open Process Automation (OPA) is that it is simply a new control system product or a repackaging of existing DCS concepts.
