Operational technology (OT) plays a crucial role in automated industries by integrating hardware and software to monitor and control physical devices, networks, and processes. OT encompasses systems like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and industrial control systems, which are essential for managing production lines, utilities, and infrastructure. By facilitating real-time data collection and analysis, OT promotes efficiency, safety, and reliability in industrial operations. The convergence of OT with information technology (IT) enhances decision-making and operational performance through improved data insights.
