Why BAS Must Adopt a System-of-Systems Approach to Stay Relevant
Discover how a System-of-Systems approach can revolutionize building automation. SoS leads to more efficient, responsive buildings and paves the way for advanced digital twin applications.
Five questions to get you on the right path to OT cybersecurity
OT cybersecurity best practices are clear, but also very far from reality. Here are five questions whose answers can get you on the right path to strong OT cybersecurity.
A System-Centric Design for Digital Twin Interoperability
The Digital Twin System Interoperability Framework white paper outlines key concepts and considerations for achieving interoperability in digital twin systems. It emphasizes a system-centric design approach, where everything is viewed as a system, enabling normalized processes and a common metamodel for inherent interoperability.

Virtual Warehousing 101
HVAC giants like Carrier and Johnson Controls are using Bidtracer for their virtual warehouse solution. Instead of developing their own app, they utilize Bidtracer to manage projects and parts sales around the world, without having to invest in physical space to store parts or build their own regional distribution centers.

Integrating Interoperable Systems within a System of Systems: A Deep Dive
The phrase “integrating interoperable systems” might seem contradictory at first glance. After all, if systems are truly interoperable, shouldn’t they seamlessly work together within an SoS without requiring additional integration? While this logic holds, the reality is more complex.
