Industrial AI Starts with Secure Industrial Connectivity: Lessons from the Recent Water Utility Cyberattacks

Industrial AI Starts with Secure Industrial Connectivity: Lessons from the Recent Water Utility Cyberattacks Recent cyberattacks on U.S. water utilities highlight the importance of secure industrial connectivity. Learn how modern OT architectures, OPC UA, MQTT, and industrial gateways reduce risk while enabling Industrial AI.

Enjoying a fun few days at AVEVA ENABLE Americas!

Cami Naranjo and Zachary Christensen are in Miami this week, spending time with the AVEVA community, connecting with partners and industry peers, and having some great conversations along the way.

Always good to spend time with the AVEVA community!

The Technical Glossary Every IT/OT Engineer Should Bookmark

The Industrial Technology Glossary You'll Actually Use 48 plain-language explainers on OPC, IIoT, OT security, data architecture, and Industrial AI, written by engineers with 30+ years in the field.

In a recent https://bit.ly/4cakQaX article, Software Toolbox CEO Andres Naranjo Villamizar takes a practical look at where Industrial AI is actually headed.

The technology is moving fast, but novelty isn’t what creates value on the plant floor. Manufacturers appreciate AI when it reduces risk, improves uptime, and proves itself in real operations.

Featured on https://bit.ly/4cakQaX, an International Society of Automation (ISA) publication, this article explores where different forms of AI are delivering value today, where the challenges remain, and why the path forward is about building trust through practical results.

At the CESMII Interoperability Forum, 25+ vendors ran one open standard - i3X + Smart Manufacturing Profiles - end to end. Zero custom integrations. Five layers, one spine:

→ AI & Agentic Applications - agents that connect in minutes, reason over ERP-to-sensor context, and return decisions, not dashboards.
→ Manufacturing Applications - MES, quality, maintenance, and machine health onboarded in an afternoon, not weeks.
→ Data Platforms & DataOps - context travels with the data: governed, analytics-ready, straight into Snowflake, Fabric, and knowledge graphs.
→ SCADA, HMI & Historians - the platforms plants already own, now serving standardized, AI-ready data natively.
→ Connectivity & Edge - raw PLC tags modeled once into SM Profiles, live as i3X endpoints in seconds.

Stop paying the integration tax. Start onboarding AI on day one.
