Operational Technology / Informational Technology (OT/IT)

As new formulations and specialty chemicals reach the market faster than ever, chemical producers face increasing pressure to balance innovation with regulatory compliance, product quality, and operational efficiency. Meeting these demands requires a smarter, more integrated approach to production.

Forward-looking chemical companies are bridging the gap between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) to enhance automation, adaptability, and business resilience. By applying modular principles—where each system focuses on a single responsibility such as batch quality monitoring, recipe management, or process performance analysis—producers achieve both scalability and agility.

The question many executives face is: what level of investment and expertise is required to manage these integrated processes while still focusing on growth?

The answer lies in solutions that connect core business systems, such as ERP for order management and PLM for formulation management, directly with plant operations. This integration enables order- and batch-driven production, providing leaders with real-time visibility into planning, compliance, KPIs, energy use, and overall performance.

The benefits go beyond efficiency. You'll gain:

  • Improved decision-making through real-time data and predictive insights
  • Greater operational control with rules-based compliance and governance
  • Scalability to support new products, markets, and regulatory requirements
  • Stronger resilience in a competitive, fast-changing industry

By aligning OT and IT, chemical producers can transform complexity into a competitive advantage, unlocking safer, more efficient, and more profitable operations that are future-ready.

Without the right people on the job we wouldn’t have achieved the great results we have today. I couldn't have done it without the consultants of Squad Apps.
