Smart factories enable companies to eliminate data silos that often exist between operational technology (OT) and enterprise IT.
Smart factories enable companies to eliminate data silos that often exist between operational technology (OT) and enterprise IT. But unstructured, time-series data generated by industrial machines is often incompatible with highly structured IT environments. This mismatch can lead to the loss of contextual and semantic information when industrial data is transferred into IT systems.
In this article, industrial engineers will learn:
- The role of SCADA in a dual data architecture, with unstructured machine data on one side and highly structured systems on the other
- The four distinct vectors of an effective IIoT data analytics strategy
- How one company’s application framework can connect industrial assets with computing resources.
