Efficiency in operations is a timeless pursuit. The difference comes down to the technologies available at the time to assist in the process. In today’s environment, that means tools connected to the streamlining of IT-OT convergence, which lends itself to automation. Automation is quickly becoming a go-to strategy. A study by LNS Research concluded that “50% of industrial transformation leaders have an autonomous plant initiative formalized,” according to Automation.com

Let’s face it. We’re on high cybersecurity alert, especially in the manufacturing sector. Why? Quite frankly – the threat landscape has expanded significantly, cybercriminals have really improved their game, and we’re just generally more aware of it at this point thanks to a series of high-profile events. But with the bad comes the good. While technical advances have already sent operators in the industry on a path toward digitalization, this growing emphasis on cybersecurity ensures that they continue to do so in a safe manner. The industry is getting the hint. Cybersecurity is really important these days, and we need to take action to implement it into our daily business functions. But first, it’s always helpful to understand the environment creating this shift in perspective and the tools that we have available to streamline the process. For this first post, we are focusing on the role of something that we discuss a lot here at AtomTech, SCADA. Let’s dive in.
