“Data is the new tractor”
When IT and OT converge, real value is created. Connected data provides the foundation for intelligent decision-making, optimized processes, and future-ready manufacturing.
“Data is the new tractor” as Syngenta says.
It is hard to find a better way to describe the transformation happening in industry today. IT/OT convergence has become a key enabler for scaling enterprise-wide use cases.
“Through our collaboration with Actemium, Syngenta is advancing its Global Manufacturing Operations Management System by connecting reliable shop-floor data with harmonized business processes – creating a scalable foundation for stronger performance management across our manufacturing network.”, as Louis Lausecker said at HANNOVER MESSE 2026.
Together, Syngenta and Actemium are designing and deploying global solutions to improve :
- factory performance management
- strengthen scheduling
- bring greater consistency in business processes across sites.
What makes this possible is the ability to collect clean, structured, and enriched process data at factory level and consolidate it into global databases and/or data lakes.
This creates the foundation for value-added analytics, AI-enabled research, and continuous optimization.
More and more process lines around the world are already connected and once the value is visible, momentum builds quickly.

- understand OT systems (OPC servers, historians) and related data (process data, alarms, procedural data like batch, operations, phases)
- can help you in establishing a UNS and contextualize / enrich your data
- master ETL and event-based system integration using commercial middleware or open source platforms. We can also program custom solutions to lower ongoing costs
- know how to prevent data loss and guarantee data delivery
- can target small scale or large quantity of data
- don’t compromise on cybersecurity
- can help you assess site readiness and get prepared
- can help you bridge the OT and IT cultural gap.
