In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Interview Series, our conversation today centers on the integration of two worlds in manufacturing environments to achieve digitalization and Industry 4.0.
In many manufacturing environments there is the physical world, or OT systems, composed of machines and industrial equipment. Then there is the digital world, or IT systems, composed of servers, networking, and other apps to run and process data. Thanks to advances in technology, we are seeing a convergence of these two worlds, but there are still a number of challenges that organizations must overcome. In this episode, I’m joined by Silvio Rasek, Head of Marketing, Factory Automation and Smart Data, Siemens, to discuss common challenges we are seeing with the IT/OT convergence and what Siemens is doing to help organizations overcome these roadblocks and find success.
Our conversation centered on the following:
Current trends that are impacting today’s production environment The opportunities that come with connecting the shop floor to IT systems Top barriers to implementing smart factories and complete IT/OT convergence How organizations can overcome these barriers An overview of the Siemens Mindsphere and Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform that will support the IT/OT convergence This was a great conversation and one you don’t want to miss.
