Abstract

The Operational Technology Platform as a Service (OTPaaS) initiative provides a structured framework for the efficient management and storage of data. It ensures excellent response times while improving security, reliability, data and technology sovereignty, robustness, and energy efficiency, which are crucial for industrial transformation and data sovereignty. This paper illustrates successful deployment, adaptable application management, and various integration components catering to Edge and Cloud environments. It leverages the advantages of the Platform as a Service model and highlights key challenges that have been addressed for specific use cases.
