The need for open-source IPC solutions has been recognized by the industrial automation community, and several open-source projects have emerged in recent years. However, these projects often focus on specific aspects of IPC, such as data acquisition or control algorithms, and lack a comprehensive framework for integrating various components.

Industrial process control (IPC) systems are widely used in various industries, such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and manufacturing, to monitor and control industrial processes. These systems typically consist of a network of sensors, actuators, and controllers that work together to maintain process variables within desired ranges. However, traditional IPC systems are often based on proprietary technologies, which can lead to vendor lock-in, high costs, and limited flexibility.
