title	Eliminate Data Silos and Bridge the OT/IT Divide

The Challenge: Industrial environments are often fragmented, with data trapped in legacy equipment, proprietary historians, and disparate databases. Complex middleware and custom coding slow down integration, increase costs, and hinder innovation.

The FrameworX Advantage: Our native communication drivers provide high-throughput, secure, and reliable connections directly within the platform, accelerating your time-to-insight and simplifying your architecture.
