This study explores the convergence between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) within the context of the Digital Industry, focusing on how this integration impacts the efficiency and modernization of industrial operations. The research highlights significant benefits provided by merging these technologies, including increased automation, faster decision-making, and improved predictive maintenance. However, it also identifies crucial challenges, particularly related to cybersecurity and the integration of industrial systems. The analysis highlights the importance of organizations investing not only in technologies, but mainly in people, encouraging continuous training and valuing the human factor in digital transformation. This study provides valuable insights and practical guidelines for organizations to implement these technologies securely, effectively, and innovatively. Future research should examine real-world cases of IT/OT integration to deepen the understanding of its current impacts in industrial contexts.
