OT / IIT / IIoT Network Architecture & Digitalization

Achieve your digitization goals with us

Open OT networks securely – implement digitization efficiently

Anyone who wants to implement digitization projects, e.g. for energy management, inventory, condition monitoring or preventive maintenance concepts, knows the challenge: How do we get the data? The controls of machines and plants, the actual source of data, are often associated with self-contained networks and deny themselves any access from the outside. And this is by no means out of ill will, but because security and functional reliability are equated with isolation. However, anyone who wants to drive digitization projects forward efficiently should be able to use as much of the data as possible that is already available in machines. In this context, the network as a whole plays a central role. It must be well planned, sensibly segmented, optimized to the respective requirements, monitored and, above all, understood as such.

Today, however, a good 50% of digitization projects are doomed to failure (source: www.service-report-it.de) or are at least severely restricted or postponed for cost reasons because the resources to be expended on data acquisition exceed the planned budget. For example, in energy management, data is currently obtained using additional energy meters and queried via a separately installed network. These additional cost drivers make the project complicated, confusing and require additional maintenance and servicing.

Our adjusting screws for your success:

• Plan OT networks according to the requirements of function and digitization
• Intensification of the exchange between operator and installer
• Highlighting data treasures – leveraging existing resources
• Bringing IIT and OT together without hurdles and barriers
• Determining responsibilities
• Establishment of access rules, their control and implementation

Planned implementation instead of complicated temporary solutions

Whether you have an established facility or a new one, say goodbye to transitional solutions and outdated procedures. Our expert guidance will show you how to optimize your plant networks, unlocking economic benefits and reducing maintenance costs for tomorrow.

What does this mean for operators of industrial plants?

For both existing and new plants, machine networks must be prepared to ensure smooth operation and secure data exchange. By doing so, you can establish a solid foundation for the digital transformation of your machine processes. This proactive approach helps avoid costly structural adjustments and maintenance procedures during the operating phase. If this sounds interesting to you, consider planning your networks with InduSol America.

What does this mean for industrial plant manufacturers?

Industrial plant networks must be able to adapt to changing requirements and the growing need for connectivity. By engaging in targeted network planning, you can proactively identify potential weak points in the structure and infrastructure. This allows for simplified commissioning, even amidst increasing complexity.
