The rapidly evolving technology landscape is transforming all industries and driving rapid change in manufacturing. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need to help protect against disruptions, such as the pandemic, while
increasing productivity and agility with more intelligent factory or systems management. Industrial systems need secure remote access and data management so that operators can run industrial systems in the same way people in offices diversified to work from home. This is not a trivial challenge, though, as Operational Technology (OT) platforms must maintain their processes while converging with more Information Technology (IT) functions and platforms.
