Full Stack OT Platforms: Why They Are Needed and Selection Criteria Best Practices

Flattening the Manufacturing Software Stack: Why a Full Stack OT Platform Is the Future

This whitepaper puts forward the argument that we need to move forward, flattening the traditional software stack to make it more suitable to the needs of modern manufacturing facilities today, and the needs those facilities will have in the future.

This whitepaper focuses on two of the five levels of the traditional manufacturing software stack:

• The supervisory control level, i.e., SCADA systems

• The plant management level, i.e., MES solutions

Using our direct experience at NNIT of real-world projects in the life sciences sector, we will present the case for flattening these two layers of the traditional software stack, replacing the separate SCADA and MES approach with a single solution – a Full Stack OT (operational technology) Platform.

Our experience shows there are technologies that not only make it possible to flatten the stack, but that also offer considerable benefits over the traditional approach. We also provide a process in this whitepaper for selecting the best Full Stack OT Platform for your needs
