Current state of IT & OT convergence revealed
A new report produced in partnership by NetApp and The Manufacturer shows the gap between IT and OT in manufacturing could slow digital transformation. Successful convergence of these teams is vital.
Smart manufacturing: What makes a factory smart?
Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and interoperable systems empower machinery to anticipate its own needs. These systems are far easier to monitor—giving you greater responsiveness, improved productivity, deeper analytics, and safer plant floors. But first, you’ll need the digital infrastructure that can make it all happen.
