What does IT misunderstand the most?
I have been an electrician for 5 years and a software developer in the energy sector for 3-4 years now and im doing industrial automation on the side for now.
From where i sit, the biggest issue i see when IT people treat historian data as the "source of truth". No concept of deadbanding, scan cycles or accuracy classes. They build alerting on top of data that have been compressed multiple times before it hit the cloud and they wonder why operators often discard them.
What do you guy do when the "IT guys" comes and ask for "alle the data"? what do they often get wrong and what would you want them to understand from the OT side?
