Partnership to accelerate digital transformation in OT – Technologist

Paessler announced a partnership with PATLITE, a manufacturer of signal towers, audible and visual alarms, and other indicating devices for the factory automation and Industry 4.0 markets.

This alliance will bring together Paessler’s expertise in IT network monitoring and PATLITE’s capability in operational technology (OT) to help enterprises across Southeast Asia accelerate digital transformation in OT.

“The convergence of IT and OT is proving to be a boon for enterprises, whether it is optimizing operations or gaining a competitive edge. However, siloed stacks of IT and OT can result in challenges that prevent organisations from reaping the full benefits of digital transformation at scale,” said Jim Lee, business development manager of Paessler for Asia Pacific

He claimed that tje partnership with PATLITE is designed to help customers take a comprehensive and coordinated approach to monitor both IT and OT systems which will enable organisations to better understand their infrastructure, increase business agility and ultimately drive business growth.

The partnership will enable Paessler to combine its PRTG network monitoring solution with its extensive experience in OT to provide its customers with comprehensive visibility into their entire infrastructure.

Paessler’s PRTG network monitoring solution is designed to help organisations monitor their IT infrastructure, which includes servers, switches, routers, and other devices, while PATLITE’s expertise in OT includes signalling devices, industrial network devices, and other products that can help organisations gain visibility into their operational infrastructure.

“We fully comprehend the significance of technology and expertise in driving successful transformation journeys for industrial businesses,” said Edmund Gan, general manager of PATLITE Singapore.

He added that the collaboration between PATLITE and Paessler will benefit all its customers with the simplified joint solutions, namely the PATLITE Network Tower Light and Paessler PRTG monitoring software.

He further noted that these solutions are easy to understand and facilitate improved productivity and comprehensive process understanding for our customers.

The alliance is said to help organisations across the Southeast Asia region achieve a holistic view of their entire infrastructure, enabling them to make better decisions and improve operational efficiency.
