IT/OT/ET convergence

Intelligent industry requires connecting people and technologies

What if the technologies and systems used by information management, production and product development formed a seamless whole, where digital threads weaved opportunities for new business and operation systems?

Convergence –⁠the connection of people and technologies

What are the benefits of convergence?

Increasing demands for efficiency, automation and security, as well as the necessity to modernise systems drive industrial companies towards convergence. Traditional industrial companies must modernise, digitalise and reform their processes comprehensively to maintain their competitiveness and operate more cost-effectively.

People, processes and technology are equally affected by this change. Convergence lays the foundation for the full utilisation of digital twins and AI. It is therefore essential that the top management of an organisation understands the opportunities and challenges of convergence so that their organisation can meet the change with a successful strategy. We at Gofore specialise in human-centred technological development.

Convergence is essential for companies that want to remain competitive, improve their efficiency and innovate in the digitalising and connected business environment of today. Impactful change starts with business needs.

Our lenses for success

Human Centricity

Products are designed and used by people.

The benefits of your renewal effort are capitalised only when people in various roles adopt the new mindset. The increasing complexity of modern intelligent machines requires new ways of working and thinking. This concerns not only people in management, R&D, and production, but also the end-customers.

Business-wise

Understand the entire lifecycle of your machine from the 1st idea to its life as part of your customers’ business.

The transformation from traditional product development to digitalised machine lifecycle needs to be planned and led carefully to minimise business risks and to maximise the positive impact of faster development cycles and reduced time to market costs – and ultimately on future business performance.

Ethically balanced

Ensure ethical and environmentally responsible decision-making throughout the entire lifecycle of your machine.

Recognise the diverse needs of machine users and the impacts on our environment, and take appropriate actions beforehand than too late.

Tech-savvy

Technologies and systems act as enablers in your renewal.

Replacing the separate R&D and combining work in a form of a digital twin disrupts the way of designing, maintaining and recycling machines. With the help of model-based design and testing, it is possible to connect product management and engineering disciplines for achieving best results.
