Your guide to IT/OT, IIoT, SCADA, and how Archatech™ can help your business.

Showing 3 of 3 answers

IT (Information Technology) manages data, software, and business systems. OT (Operational Technology) manages machines, sensors, and physical processes.

IT/OT convergence securely connects these two worlds so real-time data from the factory floor can flow into enterprise systems—and vice versa—for smarter decisions, predictive maintenance, and tighter process control.

SCADA provides operator visualization, alarms, and data logging to supervise industrial systems.

IIoT extends SCADA with modern networking, APIs, cloud/hybrid connectivity, analytics, and enterprise integration. It’s typically more open and scalable—enabling machine learning, mobile access, and distributed data storage.

  • Reduce downtime: detect issues before they become failures.
  • Improve efficiency: optimize cycles, energy use, and workflows.
  • Enhance quality: real-time data for better process control.
  • Strengthen compliance: secure audit trails and documentation.
  • Scale with confidence: add lines, sites, or products without rework.
