OT Is Moving from Tags to Objects. Are We Ready?
Linkedin
August 09, 2026
For decades, OT has been built around tags.

Temperature. Pressure. Vibration. Speed. Status. Power.

This worked when the objective was primarily to monitor, control, alarm and historize.

But manufacturing is changing.

The question is no longer only:

“Can we access the data?”

It is increasingly:

“Does the system understand what the data belongs to — and what it means?”

That is where object-oriented thinking becomes interesting.

The Million-Dollar Misalignment Why Digital Transformation Fails Before It Begins
Linkedin
July 12, 2026
Digital transformation doesn't fail in the boardroom.

It fails much earlier.

Business leaders define strategic objectives.

Departments launch initiatives.

IT builds technology platforms.

Each group believes it is contributing to the transformation.

The challenge is that these efforts often evolve independently rather than as one connected strategy.
