If we all speak the same language, communication will be much faster and without any delays or misunderstandings. OT systems, however, are like islands, each with their own languages, because they have been developed separately over decades. Thus, it is difficult to connect them all together. In this episode, we invite Jack Lin, Moxa's industrial networking expert who has extensive experience in seamlessly connecting industrial machines, to share with us how to achieve the transformation of OT systems through next-generation industrial Ethernet.
