IT/OT Transformation

IT/OT Integration in Australia

Most industrial operations run two separate worlds. Operational technology manages the factory floor, including PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial machinery. Information technology manages the business, including ERP platforms, finance, and reporting. When these systems do not communicate, the result is data silos, delayed reporting, and decisions made on incomplete information.

AUTONOMA specialises in IT/OT integration, building the connections between your plant floor and your business systems so that data flows where it needs to, automatically and reliably.

What Disconnected Systems Actually Cost You

The gap between IT and OT creates practical problems that affect your operation every day.

Teams spend time manually transcribing production data from OT reports into spreadsheets and ERP systems, a process that is slow and prone to error. Management relies on end of day or end of week reports rather than current data, making it harder to respond quickly to production issues. Different departments work from different numbers, which undermines confidence in reporting and makes accurate performance analysis difficult. And without integration, it is hard to connect what happens on the floor, such as machine downtime, with what it means for the business, such as order delays or cost increases.

Our Approach

We bring experience in both industrial automation and enterprise systems, which means we understand the requirements and constraints on both sides of the integration.

Our process begins with a discovery phase, working with your IT and OT teams to map existing data flows, systems, and processes and identify the most valuable integration points. From there, we design a secure and scalable integration architecture, often using ISA-95 standards as the framework for data exchange between plant floor and enterprise systems. We then build the custom middleware, APIs, and data connectors that allow your systems to communicate automatically. Implementation is followed by rigorous testing to validate data integrity and accuracy.

Our Integration Capabilities

• ERP integration connecting your shop floor to platforms such as SAP and Microsoft Dynamics, enabling real-time production order tracking, automated inventory updates, and accurate job costing.
• MES and SCADA integration providing granular visibility into each stage of the production process.
• OT data to business intelligence, feeding industrial data into platforms such as Power BI or Tableau to support operational analysis and decision making.
• IIoT and cloud platform integration connecting sensors and smart devices to enterprise and cloud systems, supporting applications such as predictive maintenance and process optimisation.
