Abstract:
The push for organizations to undergo digital transformations is driving IT leaders to gather more data than ever before and leverage this new information to make better decisions. For manufacturers, utilities, transportation, and critical infrastructure, this means an increasing convergence of their OT and IT systems.

For the modern business, the benefit of leveraging connected industrial systems, such as Industrial IoT (IIoT) in safety and blockchain for accurate supply chain management, can be game changers for both efficiency and productivity. In this talk,
