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?

Catch up on presentations from this year's ARC Forum and see why these discussions matter for you.

If you couldn’t make it to the ARC Industry Forum this year, you’re in luck. The sessions featuring Opto 22 users and industry leaders are now available to watch on YouTube.

From industrial AI and digital transformation to smart manufacturing, hear real stories from the field.

What did you miss at the first annual ProveIt! Conference? Manufacturers and industry vendors came together to "prove" options for reaching digital transformation and moving data within a Unified Namespace (UNS).

Last week in Dallas was extraordinary, as over 600 industry professionals and 36 vendors gathered for ProveIt! 2025. This conference wasn’t just about talking digital transformation—it was all about live demonstrations that truly proved the value of IIoT technologies in action.

With a focus on educating attendees, this conference drew end users who are manufacturers.

Here's a quick recap of the experience and a look at Opto 22's ProveIt! demo—see for yourself what concepts were shown and "proven."

Two recent IntegrateLive! workshops on open source and interoperable manufacturing systems are now available to watch on demand.

With a promise to revolutionize your approach to information management, the IntegrateLive! team hosted a two-part webinar series focused on solving information management challenges in the manufacturing industry. 

The PI System, once popular in the industrial automation space, was acquired a few years ago by Aveva. Since this change, there's been a bit of turmoil in the market, causing former PI enthusiasts to look for other ways to acquire and manage their manufacturing data—without being locked in to a specific vendor.

This IL webinar offers new open source and cybersecure solutions...with a live build to show you how. They invited IL community members from Software Toolbox, Inc., Canary, Flow Software Inc., and even brought some groov hardware from Opto 22 to demonstrate.
