About this episode
IT and OT have never been closer yet more misunderstood. In this episode, powered by PLCnext Technology, David Ariens brings candid insight from his global industry experience to the table, breaking down why IT/OT convergence remains a challenge and how it’s far more than just a technical problem. Hear stories from frontline operations, learn why trust and collaboration trump technology, and get practical advice for companies wrestling with digital transformation across manufacturing, infrastructure, and process sectors.
From lessons in organizational models to thoughts on data openness, the conversation uncovers strategies for building real momentum behind change, making it clear that successful transformation hinges on the people behind the systems as much as the technology itself.
