In response to this, NAMUR (the User Association of Automation Technology in Process Industries) has developed the NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) model, which brings plant optimization through IT/OT integration within reach for the process industry. In this blog, we present a range of NOA-compliant products that process plant operators can use to extend their plant in compliance with NOA to directly reap the benefits of modern IT applications. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/the-evolution-of-the-gateways.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/the-evolution-of-the-gateways.html#commentsWed, 20 Jan 2021 12:52:03 +0100Christopher Anhalthttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/the-evolution-of-the-gateways.htmlWhen it comes to expanding and operating innovative IoT solutions, IT architectures have a key role to play. What architectural issues arise at the interface between IT and OT, and how does this interface relate to 'edge' and 'cloud'?  If you take these questions into account during planning you can fully exploit the potential of software, IT and innovative algorithms and make your production more efficient.
