The New MES: How Distributed Architectures Are Bridging the IT/OT Divide

IT/OT convergence is a hot topic, but questions persist about pairing the physical and digital worlds within smart factories to make them fully flexible, truly self-optimizing and able to learn from conditions in real time to autonomously run entire production processes. 

A true smart factory is a more holistic endeavor, moving beyond the shop floor toward influencing the enterprise and broader ecosystem. The smart factory is integral to the broader digital supply network and IT/OT convergence is a major factor that enables them.

In this 60-minute webinar, GE Digital’s Ganesh Hegde and Advantage Industrial Automation's Reed Baker join Current, Powered by GE's David George and David Martin along with Smart Industry’s Keith Larson to explore how hybrid manufacturing execution systems, in partnership with technologies like the edge and cloud, are enabling true, seamless IT/OT convergence.
