This brief explains how manufacturers can modernize operational technology (OT) environments through an open, orchestrated platform approach. As OT systems evolve to include AI, IoT, virtualization, and Linux-based infrastructure, manual configuration creates complexity and risk. Red Hat proposes using Ansible Automation Platform and Device Edge to automate deployments, standardize configurations, and bridge legacy OT with modern IT practices. The open ecosystem model improves scalability, uptime, interoperability, and edge-to-core integration while reducing errors and accelerating innovation. The approach enables consistent, secure orchestration across industrial environments.
