Data from the automated machines must be combined with the ERP system, among other systems, to match customer demand and delivery times/processes properly and automatically. Subsequently, the company wants to start using AI on two levels: improve the data from its manufacturing process and increase the effectiveness from the combination of its IT and OT environments. The question is how to do this in a responsible, secure way so the data can be trusted.
