The Mechanisms for IT/OT Convergence

At an industrial scale, the amount of data just described can quickly become overwhelming since there are often thousands of sensors and instruments, with each one sending their individual streams that can combine into a torrent. This is operational technology (OT) data, but we depend on information technology (IT) techniques to put it to work, hence the IT/OT convergence. The two sides must be blended together if the data is to become useful.
