In shortIT/OT integration means exchanging data between information technology (IT) systems such as ERP, databases and cloud and operational technology (OT) systems such as PLCs, SCADA and machines.
IT and OT work with different priorities: IT often emphasises confidentiality and speed of change, OT emphasises continuity and safety. System lifetimes, update frequency and change management also differ.
Good IT/OT integration is therefore not just a connection but a shared way of working: data owners, permissions, network zones, outage behaviour and a rollback plan are written down with automation, production and IT teams together. Starting with a pilot is the safest way to test that fit; the pilot plan guide walks through the steps.

OPC Turkey supports automation, production and IT/OT teams from discovery to commissioning by defining a shared scope.
