Harnessing Computer-on-Modules for Streamlined IT/OT Convergence and Enhanced Cybersecurity
- IT/OT convergence brings physical (OT) equipment and devices into the digital (IT) world by using the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and big data analytics for higher productivity and efficiency.
- aReady.COM, congatec's application-ready offering around computer-on-modules (COMs), provides the perfect building blocks for out-of-the box IT/OT convergence, reducing complexity by seamlessly integrating hardware and software for enhanced performance and flexibility.
- With the Cyber Resilience Act, the exposure to cyber threats from OT and IT systems escalates. OEMs must comply with these regulations before entering the EU market, to safeguard against potential risks by secure software updates.
- The software should enable remote monitoring of embedded systems with security protocols, sensor and actuator integration, control logic, lifecycle management, and historical data. It should also provide connectivity to prevalent cloud services like AWS, with options for establishing or integrating private on-premises clouds to protect critical business data.
- aReady.VT for system consolidation and aReady.IOT for IIoT connection can address the needs for software in IT/OT convergence. aReady.VT enables designers to consolidate multiple systems on one single hardware platform, shortening time-to-market and optimizing overall system functionality. aReady.IOT allows developers to remotely access device information, including serial numbers, software versions, voltages, and temperatures.
- The technology that underpins aReady.IOT is built upon the solid foundation established by Arendar, a company that congatec acquired in 2023. Moreover, asembled platform and distributed software building blocks provide reliable real-time machine capabilities, data processing, and optimized maintenance with minimal on-site service.
- congatec offers aReady.VT and aReady.IOT in an application-ready or custom-configured package that integrates a pre-configured hypervisor, operating system, and IIoT software, streamlining workflows, supply chain, and warehousing.
- The implementation of IT/OT convergence will bring significant efficiencies through cost savings and enhanced reliability.
- The emergence of Industry 4.0 and IIoT technology has emphasised the importance of IT/OT convergence, enabling innovation in the core of business operations and becoming essential for organizational success.
- By reducing the number of systems, embedded computing applications can achieve significant size, weight, power consumption, and cost savings, optimizing production processes, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs.
