Bridging the divide between the IT and OT worlds
Enhancing manufacturing performance with data-driven decision-making.
In sport, data analysis helps coaches pinpoint areas of strength and those needing further development, allowing for targeted improvements. In the same spirit, Orange Business works with its customers to integrate IT and OT environments, helping them to identify operational weaknesses and implement targeted remediations that enhance operational performance.
This solution guide explores the opportunities and challenges of IT/OT integration and sets out the six crucial steps that will ensure you get better access to your data with fewer resources.
Enhancing manufacturing performance with a secure, flexible infrastructure
Sports franchises understand the importance that physical environments play in optimizing the capabilities of their athletes and spend millions on state-of-the-art training facilities. In the same way, physical infrastructures play a vital role in unlocking the highperformance culture to which all manufacturing companies aspire.
This fact sheet looks at the challenges that a manufacturing environment creates for network deployment. It then lays out the key considerations to bear in mind in the creation of a reliable, scalable and easy—to-manage infrastructure able to support your Industry 4.0 ambitions.
The data-driven Factory
Insights gained from operational data can transform manufacturing performance.
In sports, performance coaches track metrics like distance covered, speed, and exertion levels to optimize training loads and prevent injuries. Orange Business helps its customers apply the same approach to manufacturing performance by making full use of their operational data to streamline operations and minimize downtime.
Data is a critical asset, providing the visibility and insight that contributes to enhanced efficiency and productivity. However, with information originating in diverse sources, getting complete operational visibility is complex. To enable people, processes, and data to work harmoniously together, there are four pillars that must be considered – OT/IT integration, security, and smart insights.
Creating a high-performance environment
Safeguarding the physical environment is as critical for sporting endeavors as it is for manufacturing output. Elite athletes cannot perform at their best unless they are sure that the field of play holds no concerns for their physical safety. Equally, nothing is more damaging to the factory environment than cybersecurity attacks that can halt production and result in millions of dollars lost from the bottom line.
Industry 4.0 is transforming the manufacturing and industrial landscape by integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and cloud computing. While these innovations provide immense benefits, they also ramp up the risk of cyberattacks. This article explains that, to fully benefit from Industry 4.0, businesses must prepare for cybersecurity challenges including ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and securing the entire digital supply chain.
