IT/OT integration describes the networking of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). While IT controls enterprise systems such as ERP, MES, or cloud applications, OT controls and monitors production facilities, sensors, and machines. The goal of integration is to bring these two worlds together to create consistent data flows and a common basis for decision-making.

A key advantage of IT/OT integration is the real-time analysis of production data. CIOs and executives gain a comprehensive view of business and manufacturing processes. This leads to better machine utilization, fewer unplanned downtimes, and more efficient use of resources. In short, data is transformed from a raw material into a competitive advantage.

The integration of IT and OT is complex. Different systems, proprietary protocols, and the long service life of production facilities present CIOs with technical and organizational hurdles. Added to this is the issue of cybersecurity: production systems that were previously isolated are increasingly exposed to attacks as a result of integration. This is why a comprehensive security concept, from network segmentation to zero trust, is essential.

IT/OT integration is the foundation for Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. Applications such as predictive maintenance, digital twins, and AI-supported production control require close integration between IT and OT. For CIOs, this means that investing early on will not only make their companies more agile, but also give them a clear competitive advantage in increasingly dynamic markets.
