Listen in on a conversation from this year's ProveIt! conference as Benson Hougland discusses the why and how of securely moving data from OT to IT systems with the Manufacturing Hub podcast.

Have you tuned in to the Manufacturing Hub podcast yet? It's an educational show hosted by two longtime industrial practitioners—Dave Griffith and Vladimir Romanov. They asked Opto 22's Benson Hougland for a sit down discussion at this year's ProveIt! conference in Dallas, where several topics were covered.

What types of solutions are readily available for manufacturers to start their digital transformation? What are the most common challenges and roadblocks? What does the future look like in terms of product features?

And most importantly, was Opto 22 able to prove a viable solution on stage at the ProveIt conference?

Watch and listen as Dave, Vlad and Benson discuss:

  • Opto 22's history and product philosophy
  • The relevance of open source platforms
  • Why choosing specific technology partners like Inductive Automation and Cirrus Link Solutions has proven to be a vital piece of the digital transformation puzzle
  • How groov EPIC and RIO products allow you to get as close to the edge as possible, while still democratizing and protecting your data

You'll also get some insights from Benson on his predictions on how technology will advance over the next five years. And as always, hear about Opto 22's commitment to helping customers succeed. Bottom line, we're here to save you money, improve processes and increase efficiency.
