Industrial transformation and IT/OT convergence: the critical issue of data management

At the heart of industrial transformation, the convergence of IT and OT systems is redefining production and plant management models. This integration is paving the way for a more agile, more connected industry, but it rests on a foundation that is as strategic as it is complex: data management. How can we effectively collect, structure, secure and exploit data from heterogeneous, often siloed and historically separate environments? What tools and architectures are needed to ensure that information flows smoothly and reliably between the field and the analysis systems? And above all, how can this mass of data be transformed into operational value, without compromising (cyber)security or digital sovereignty? As a critical issue, data management is central to the modernisation of production tools.
