The manufacturing IT and OT ecosystem is experiencing an unprecedented explosion of new technology and tools. However, realizing the full potential of these new tools and technologies requires an investment of both money and time from budgets and personnel that are already overstressed. This session demonstrates how shifting to a passive optical network can free up critical funding and enable IT/OT staff to focus on their real mission of helping improve efficiency and profits:

• Discover how passive optical networks save money both immediately and over time by reducing material usage, energy demand, and space.
• Learn how reducing network complexity improves efficiency and security, allowing IT/OT staff time to learn and deploy essential new technologies.
• Gain insights into how to streamline the adoption and integration of new technologies in the future.
