Industrial IoT (IIoT) device management operates under a different set of constraints than typical enterprise IT. In an Operational Technology (OT) environment such as manufacturing, energy, transport, or utilities operational continuity including device lifespan is measured in decades. This need for stability takes precedence over the rapid update cadences typical in other environments. If your team is managing industrial edge devices the approaches, tooling, and standards that govern OT device management reflect a different set of constraints.
