IT/OT digital transformation is the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to modernize industrial operations through automation, AI, and cloud computing. This transformation enables real-time data analytics, predictive maintenance, and improved cybersecurity.
The adoption of technologies such as Industrial IoT (IIoT), edge computing, and digital twins allows manufacturers to optimize production processes and minimize downtime. By connecting IT and OT systems, businesses can make data-driven decisions that enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs.
A successful IT/OT digital transformation requires a structured approach that includes upgrading legacy systems, implementing secure connectivity protocols, and fostering collaboration between IT and OT teams. This transition helps industries stay competitive in the rapidly evolving landscape of smart manufacturing.
