Connecting IT and OT Safely Through Secure IIoT Integration
Industrial IoT provides production data for analytics and predictive maintenance, but it also exposes OT systems to new risks. A practical approach involves standardizing data exchange via OPC UA, building cybersecurity based on ISA/IEC 62443, and never treating any protocol as a substitute for netw
Standardizing IIoT Data Streams via OPC UA
OPC UA transforms disparate tags and registers from the OT environment into a unified semantic model for SCADA, MES, ERP, and Edge AI.
Replacing Monolithic ERPs with Agile System Integration
While monolithic ERP systems are powerful, they often lack flexibility; an integrated landscape of specialized systems built on a unified API layer and MDM offers a compelling alternative.
