When developing complex digital strategies to achieve successful IoT initiatives and control system projects, the convergence of OT and IT processes is essential. To align OT and IT processes and reduce risks for more effective industrial computer projects, some factors should be considered.
When developing complex digital strategies to achieve successful IoT initiatives and control system projects, the convergence of OT and IT processes is essential. However, without a platform that is easy to maintain, easy to use, and can eliminate downtime, this convergence can create unforeseen problems. To align OT and IT processes and reduce risks for more effective industrial computer projects, some factors should be considered for cloud and edge computing.
When embarking on digitalization or IA strategy, setting clear objectives and business cases will help to ensure you’re getting the right amount of return for your efforts. Think about what it will mean to be successful – specifically in your organization.
For a successful digitalization strategy, there is a need for OT and IT convergence in the shape of a Hybrid OT or Industrial IT role– a technologist with experience and knowledge in OT applications who also understands IT language and possesses an IT skillset.
Before modernizing platforms, consider the following:
There are still operations where Raspberry Pi computers (small and low-cost) that help send data to the cloud. Although this works, security risks and elevated costs are unwanted factors. Edge-based tech is located closer to the plant floor and provides rapid feedback to make proper adjustments during projects. Edge computing offers pre-processing, allowing only necessary data to be transferred to the cloud, and keeps sensitive data close to the network.
Depending on the use case, pilot programs can have different levels of difficulty. Within each use case, to move forward with full-scale implementation, factors such as scalability, flexibility, control, and upfront investments and bandwidth costs should be considered.
