Documentation control and OT security for the energy industry

"A current [energy] industry goal is to digitalize processes beyond company boundaries. There is, as such, an urgent need for standards and technical solutions that enable digital exchange of machine-readable technical information between all stages and functions throughout the life cycle of energy installations. Although most such life cycle information (LCI) is already exchanged between digital systems, most of it is still locked in proprietary data solutions (e.g. 3D applications and models), or in the form of documents and diagrams that digital systems are unable to understand. Interoperability, i.e. the ability of two or more digital systems to exchange information and understand this information, is therefore a key challenge in realizing digitalization strategies related to digital twins, data-centric forms of organization, further automation, and secure and efficient operation of physical facilities."
