OT: Leveraging Technology to Enhance Business Operations

Operational Technology (OT) is a term used to refer to the hardware and software used to monitor and control physical devices and processes in an industrial setting. This includes programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other industrial control systems (ICSs). OT is used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, energy, transportation, and healthcare, to ensure the efficient and safe operation of industrial processes. OT systems are used to monitor and control physical devices such as pumps, valves, motors, and other equipment, as well as the processes that use these devices. OT systems are also used to collect data for analysis and reporting purposes, as well as for predictive maintenance. OT systems are typically connected to the Internet and other networks, allowing for remote access and control.
