APAT is a member of Fieldbus Foundation and the OPC Foundation.
These organizations are developing the open, interoperable standards and specifications that are creating a framework for industrial automation and process control technologies and systems.

Foundation technology is the world's leading digital protocol for process automation. It provides end users with the "Freedom to Choose" best-in-class, interoperable control products from their suppliers of choice, and the "Power to Integrate" control systems, subsystems and devices across the plant enterprise. The result is improved plant performance-and greater business results.
As a member of Fieldbus Foundation, APAT is committed to provide state-of-the art components and systems based on the strict specifications of Foundation Fieldbus to serve the process automation and control community.

OPC is a highly successful and popular industrial communication standard that enables the exchange of data between devices and control applications from various vendors without proprietary restrictions. An OPC server can communicate data, events and historical data continuously among Programmable Controllers, RTUs, HM/SCADAI stations, and various manufacturing software applications running on PCs and workstations. OPC compliance makes real-time communication possible between elements of heterogeneous control systems.

APAT makes heavy use of this technology in the HMI/SCADA as well as Programmable Control lines of products.
