CPLANE.ai wrote about why separation is the foundation of OT security, not an add-on.

Automation without compromise isn't a slogan. It's a design decision. Most industrial control systems make you choose: flexibility or reliability. Open or secure. Vendor ecosystem or your own stack. CPLANE was built to reject that tradeoff. Our platform integrates IT and OT into a single, open architecture (built on the Open Process Automation Standard, O-PAS). That means lower total cost of ownership, high availability by design, and no vendor lock-in. You own the system. You choose the components. You grow on your terms. The companies we work with aren't looking for another proprietary black box. They want control back. So do we.
