i-BELT enables IT-OT integration

In manufacturing sites, the disconnect between IT and OT is a serious problem, leading to issues such as delays in investment decisions, reliance on individual expertise in improvement activities, and insufficient utilization of on-site data.

Omron has been helping customers address their manufacturing challenges by leveraging data-driven solutions built on its extensive operational technology (OT) expertise and decades of experience of manufacturing improvement.

Based on these strengths, the i-BELT data solution utilizes “i-BELT Hub,” a next-generation data platform that realizes IT-OT integration, enabling bidirectional data linkage and rapid decision-making based on management decision, while utilizing existing IT and OT assets.

A: One of the key strengths of i-BELT Hub is its deployment flexibility. It can be implemented in both cloud and edge environments, allowing organizations to choose the architecture that best suits their operational needs.

Edge deployment enables high-performance, real-time data processing, while only transmitting essential data to the cloud. This approach helps optimize operational efficiency while maintaining a balanced and cost-effective infrastructure.

A: Yes, absolutely.
While many existing systems are designed for visualization and analysis within specific applications, they often result in data being siloed across different platforms. i-BELT does not replace existing systems, but functions as a “hub” that connects data across higher and lower levels, processes, and departments, aligning the time axis.

A: Yes, it can.

i-BELT Hub supports seamless integration with PLCs, third-party factory automation (FA) equipment, MES platforms, and enterprise business systems. It can be implemented incrementally, allowing organizations to start with a small-scale deployment and expand over time while maximizing the use of existing assets, without the need for a complete equipment replacement.
