Convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operations Technology (OT) in Bio-Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry

Author(s) Ravi Kiran Koppichetti
Country United States
Abstract The Industry 4.0 paradigm has redefined industrial operations by enhancing automation, machine interconnectivity, and real-time data analytics. At the core of this transformation is the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT), bridging the gap between enterprise data management and real-time process control. While IT focuses on data governance, analytics, and cloud computing, OT monitors and controls physical assets. Their integration is essential for seamless automation, predictive insights, and optimized manufacturing workflows.

However, IT and OT operate in distinct domains with differing priorities, architectures, and security concerns, making convergence a complex challenge. This paper explores organizational and technological barriers to IT-OT integration within the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry and presents a structured framework for convergence. This study provides a roadmap for asset-intensive industries to enhance operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and digital transformation by addressing infrastructure interoperability, cybersecurity risks, and data harmonization.
