Why Manufacturing IT and OT Still Don't Talk to Each Other — And What It's Costing Your Production Floor
The IT/OT gap is not a technology problem waiting for a better technology. It is a governance and architecture problem that manufacturing leadership needs to own, with appropriate technical support, before the cost of inaction makes the decision for them.
Why Your Smart Manufacturing Initiative Is Only as Strong as the IT Behind It
The organizations getting consistent results from their Industry 4.0 investments are not necessarily those with the most sophisticated technology. They are the ones that built the infrastructure foundation before they deployed the technology on top of it.
The IIoT Environmental Monitoring Blind Spot: Why Your Connected Factory's Sensor Data May Be Drifting — and Nobody Knows
The technology argument is settled. IoT environmental monitoring in manufacturing is more capable, more scalable, and more cost-effective than what it replaces. The verification argument has to catch up.

Industry 4.0 breathes new life into cybersecurity
Dave Sutton for IT Pro Portal: A technical evolution has taken place, which has made cyberthreats more potent than at any other time in our history. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, over half of British businesses will suffer cyberattacks by 2018. As businesses seek to embrace Industry 4.0, cybersecurity protection must be a top priority for Industrial Control Systems (ICS). These attacks are financially crippling, reduce production and business innovation, and cost lives.
In years gone by, legacy ICS were developed with proprietary technology and were isolated from the outside world, so physical perimeter security was deemed adequate and cybersecurity was not relevant. However, today the rise of digital manufacturing means many control systems use open or standardised technologies to both reduce costs and improve performance, employing direct communications between control and business systems. Companies must now be proactive to secure their systems online as well as offline. Cont'd...
