ABOUT US

Industrial IT Built for Critical Operations

Industrial IT demands OT-aware engineering, deep sector experience, and 24/7 service operations that understand SCADA as well as Kubernetes. As one of the top operational technology security providers, Getronics brings this capability to every engagement, with real-time monitoring and shop-floor to top-floor support across transport, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.

01

OT-Aware Engineering

OT engineers who think in protocols, latency, and physical constraints, engineering for the realities of production, transport, and critical infrastructure, where availability is non-negotiable.

02

All Layers, One Team

Getronics covers IT, OT, and the integration layer in between. One contract, one service desk, one team accountable for every system from sensor to ERP.

03

Security by Design

Operational technology security is embedded from the first architecture decision. Zero-trust segmentation, protocol-aware threat detection, and 24/7 monitoring engineered specifically for industrial control environments.

PARTNERSHIPS

Industrial IT Platforms & Partners

FAQs

You have questions. We have answers.

  • IT/OT convergence connects operational technology to the IT systems running the rest of the business to enable unified data flows, one operational view, and integrated workflows that let physical operations and enterprise systems work as one rather than two parallel worlds.

  • Industrial businesses lose efficiency when IT and OT operate in silos. Operations teams can’t see business context; IT teams can’t see what’s happening on the shop floor or airfield. Convergence enables real-time decisions, predictive maintenance, energy optimisation, and faster response to incidents. The business runs on one data fabric instead of two.

  • IT/OT convergence is essential for manufacturing, airports and transport, energy and utilities, mining, oil and gas, and any organisation running critical physical infrastructure. Getronics delivers across all these sectors, with deep specialism in transport (68 airports supported) and manufacturing (multi-vendor MES and SCADA integration).

  • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems monitor and control industrial equipment. Getronics integrates SCADA platforms, including AVEVA Wonderware, with enterprise IT through OPC UA, Modbus TCP/IP, BACnet IP, and other industrial protocols, letting SCADA data flow into BI, ERP, and operational dashboards without custom point-to-point integration.

  • OT cybersecurity at Getronics is engineered specifically for industrial environments rather than borrowed from IT security. We use protocol-aware threat detection, zero-trust segmentation between IT and OT networks, and 24/7 monitoring designed for the realities of SCADA, PLC, and industrial control system vulnerabilities and operational constraints.

  • The Getronics Integration Hub is our open-source modular integration platform built specifically for IT/OT environments. It uses pre-built connectors for industrial protocols, including OPC UA, Modbus TCP/IP, BACnet IP, and LoRaWAN, letting customers integrate sensors, devices, and systems from multiple vendors under one unified operational platform.

  • Yes. Getronics designs, deploys, integrates, and manages MES platforms across manufacturing customers. Engagements include MES-to-ERP integration, MES-to-PLC connectivity, quality system integration, and ongoing managed services. Our manufacturing experience covers multiple sectors, including consumer goods, automotive, professional equipment, and industrial production.

  • IoT is a core component of IT/OT convergence. Sensors generate the operational data that fuels real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and AI-driven optimisation. Getronics deploys IoT at scale, including sensor integration, edge computing, telemetry pipelines, and analytics, often combining IoT with SCADA and MES data for unified industrial visibility.

  • Operational technology security protects the physical systems that control industrial processes, including SCADA, PLCs, distributed control systems, and building management systems, from cyber threats, unauthorised access, and operational disruption. Unlike traditional IT security, OT security must account for legacy protocols, real-time availability requirements, and safety-critical constraints. Getronics delivers OT cybersecurity through protocol-aware threat detection, zero-trust network segmentation, and 24/7 monitoring designed for industrial environments. 

  • IT/OT integration connects operational technology systems such as SCADA, MES, and IoT sensors with enterprise IT platforms, including ERP, BI, and cloud infrastructure, creating a single data flow from the shop floor to the boardroom. This unified approach enables real-time decision-making, predictive maintenance, and organisation-wide visibility into physical operations.
