Finally! A Path to Manufacturing Interoperability and OT/IT Convergence

What if manufacturing applications could finally speak the same language?

The i3X™ initiative is tackling one of the biggest challenges in smart manufacturing today: the explosion of incompatible APIs across platforms, historians, and industrial software. And clearly, this is a conversation the industry has been waiting for.

In the next Smart Manufacturing Mindset™ LinkedIn Live, we’re sitting down with three core members of the i3X™ working group to talk about:

• What is i3X™
• What problems does i3X address?
• How will i3X transform manufacturing architectures?

Whether your roots are in OT or IT, if you’re a manufacturer, systems integrator, application developer, or technology provider trying to make sense of industrial data architecture, this one is for you!
