Technology
At a certain point in time, you need to start doing some actual work ;) On The IT/OT Insider we don’t write about specific vendors (*), but rather we try to figure out which concepts are available on the market to help you implement your digital transformation project. Technology should help you scale: make it as easy as possible to build something new. Here are our most important technology related articles:
Operational Data Platforms in OT (Industrial Data Platforms)
NEW! We just launched our ITOT.Academy. Learn the language and architecture of IT and OT to push past “just a POC” in our live online academy.

Let's talk about Model Predictive Control (MPC)
In today's tech talks, it seems like Artificial Intelligence (AI) steals the show. We're talking about machine learning, big language models, and the like. And we're all for it! We see the magic in math and the power of algorithms that turn the data in your
ISA-95 and the Purdue model explained
OT has a different perspective than IT on the world. The world of manufacturing isn’t virtual, it’s real, with ‘stuff’, sensors, actuators and control systems. This also brings additional complexity when describing this system. How do you describe an architecture that mixes reactors, sensors, real-time control systems, MES and ERP without getting lost?
Let’s talk Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
Last week, Bram talked about his early experiences in starting and scaling his Digital Transformation Journey at a global food producer. We briefly touched the term MES or Manufacturing Execution System. In this article, we do a deep dive into this and related concepts.
(*) Obviously, we do work together with certain vendors. We invite them to write articles together or to be on our podcast. Some of that content might be sponsored, but we always try to talk as much as possible about generic concepts and use cases. We want to tell stories about the Why and the How. Not about the What.
