> h3. *Apache StreamPipes*
> Apache StreamPipes (incubating) is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to
> enable non-technical users to connect, analyze and explore IoT data streams.
> StreamPipes offers several modules including StreamPipes Connect to easily
> connect data from industrial IoT sources, the Pipeline Editor to quickly
> create processing pipelines and several visualization modules for live and
> historic data exploration. Under the hood, StreamPipes utilizes an
> event-driven microservice paradigm of standalone, so-called analytics
> microservices making the system easy to extend for individual needs.
> h3. *Background*
> StreamPipes is grown significantly throughout recent years. We were able to
> introduce a lot of new features and attracted both users and contributors.
> Putting the cherry on the cake, we were graduated as an Apache top level
> project in December 2022. We will of course continue developing new features
> and never rest to make StreamPipes even more amazing.
> StreamPipes really shines when connecting Industrial IoT data. Such data
> sources typically originate from machine controllers, called PLCs (e.g.,
> Siemens S7). But there are also new protocols such as OPC-UA which allow to
> browse available data within the controller. Our goal is to make connectivity
> of industrial data sources a matter of minutes.
> Currently, data sources can be connected using the built-in module
> `StreamPipes Connect` from the UI. We provide a set of adapters for popular
> protocols that can be customized, e.g., connection details can be added.
> To make it even easier to connect industrial data sources with StreamPipes,
> we plan to add an OPC-UA browser. This will be part of the entry page of
> StreamPipes connect and should allow users to enter connection details of an
> existing OPC-UA server. Afterwards, a new view in the UI shows available data
> nodes from the server, their status and current value. Users should be able
> to select values that should be part of a new adapter. Afterwards, a new
> adapter can be created by reusing the current workflow to create an OPC-UA
> data source.
> This is a really cool project for participants interested in full-stack
> development who would like to get a deeper understanding of industrial IoT
> protocols. Have fun!
> h3. *Tasks*
> - [ ] get familiar with the OPC-UA protocol
> - [ ] develop mockups which demonstrate the user workflow
> - [ ] develop a data model for discovering data from OPC-UA
> - [ ] create the backend business logic for the OPC-UA browser
> - [ ] create the frontend views to asynchronously browse data and to create
> a new adapter
> - [ ] write Junit, Component and E2E tests
> - [ ] what ever comes in your mind 💡 further ideas are always welcome

> h3. *Relevant Skills*
> - interest in Industrial IoT and procotols such as OPC-UA
> * Java development skills
> * Angular/Typescript development skills
> Anyways, the most important relevant skill is motivation and readiness to
> learn during the project!
> h3. *Learning Material*
> - StreamPipes documentation
> ([https://streampipes.apache.org/docs/docs/user-guide-introduction.html])
> - [ur current OPC-UA adapter
> ([https://github.com/apache/streampipes/tree/dev/streampipes-extensions/streampipes-connect-adapters-iiot/src/main/java/org/apache/streampipes/connect/iiot/adapters/opcua])
> - Eclipse Milo, which we currently use for OPC-UA connectivity
> ([https://github.com/eclipse/milo])
> - Apache PLC4X, which has an API for browsing
> ([https://plc4x.apache.org/)|https://plc4x.apache.org/]
