OT/IT Convergence and Enabling the Factory of the Future | WWT Experts

Event Overview

Manufacturing leaders today must prioritize the convergence of operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT) to become more agile, aware, connected, efficient, intelligent, safe and sustainable. But too often, OT and IT are siloed, disconnected or not speaking the same language. Join Tim Householder, a leading manufacturing advisor for WWT, as he discusses the need to interweave IT and OT team workstreams through common platforms, which are central to today's intelligent manufacturing and industrial IoT initiatives. Tim, who is deeply engaged with global manufacturing clients at both the business and technology level, will also deliver practical and actionable steps manufacturers can take today to bridge that gap by adopting a common understanding of business needs enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies.
