FAQs

Explore the most common questions manufacturers ask about IT/OT integration—what it does, how it impacts operations and why it’s essential to future-ready manufacturing.

IT/OT integration is the unification of business (IT) systems with operational (OT) systems like SCADA, PLCs and MES to enable real-time data sharing.
It addresses data silos, improves visibility, reduces response time, and enables better enterprise-level decision-making.
Yes. SkyIO includes security by design, leveraging best practices in segmentation, firewalling and access control.
SkyIO integrates ERP, MES, SCADA, PLCs, HMIs, historians, and cloud platforms—ensuring all layers of your architecture communicate effectively.
Timelines vary by system complexity and scope, but most integrations range from a few weeks to several months, depending on readiness and scale.
Not necessarily. SkyIO often works with existing infrastructure—extending its value through thoughtful integration, not forced replacement.
