OT

Industrial IoT: Operational Technologies and Connectivity Industrial OT refers to the hardware and software that run machines, sensors, and control systems in factories, energy plants, and utilities. When we add the term Industrial IoT, we mean connecting these operational technologies to a data network to collect, analyze, and act on information in real time. This connection helps managers spot problems early and keep the production lines moving smoothly. Connectivity in this space usually follows a layered approach: field devices like sensors and PLCs, gateway devices that translate between protocols, edge computers that run analytics close to the machines, and cloud or data centers for deeper analysis and long-term storage. Each layer plays a role in reliability, speed, and security. ...
