Reducing Risk in a Converging IT/OT World
By Mark Carrigan, Senior Vice President of Global Operations

Industrie 4.0 and the rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) require increased access to the Operational Technology (OT) that propels production.

I like it because I get to refer to some of my favorite schlocky sci-fi movies – and it turns out that lots of engineers like those as well!   Nuisance alarm reduction is an important step. We recommend it at the beginning of an alarm improvement effort because it is easy, fast, cheap, and... Read more
