In this episode, we talk about one of the hardest parts of any IIoT initiative: getting IT, OT, and Quality to truly work together. On paper, everyone wants the same outcome. In practice, priorities, language, and risk tolerance often clash. This conversation looks at why alignment is so difficult in manufacturing environments, how misunderstandings usually start, and what actually helps teams move forward. We explore real situations where projects stalled because ownership wasn’t clear, decisions weren’t aligned, or trust hadn’t been built yet. More importantly, we talk about what made alignment finally click. It’s not about frameworks or org charts. It’s about clarity, shared goals, and a lot of patience.
