This conversation examines how today's advanced digital technologies — edge sensors, mobile devices, guided workflows, and AI-driven analytics — are improving frontline execution in oil & gas refining and downstream operations. The industrial sector needs a worker-first approach that empowers frontline teams with intuitive, consumer-grade apps that help them perform tasks more safely and efficiently.

For emission monitoring, end users are looking for technologies that can instantly pinpoint leak sources and replace manual, scheduled inspections with real‑time, anomaly-triggered notifications delivered directly to mobile devices. The discussion also covers outcomes such as:

•safer work execution
•faster decisions with better context
•reduced unplanned downtime
•stronger operational predictability

Panelists-

Inderpreet Shoker, ARC Advisory Group
Adrian Araiza, Citgo
Krishna Uppuluri, mPACT2WO/Molex

In this edition of DTV, ARC vice president of research Larry O'Brien talks to NetFoundry founder and CEO Galeal Zino about the challenges facing end users when it comes to OT cybersecurity in the age of AI and digitalization. NetFoundry was created to address fundamental weaknesses in traditional networking and cybersecurity. We discuss how traditional networking is not designed for today’s digital transformation requirements. Complexity created by layered security tools increases risk and reduces reliability. NetFoundry replaces IP‑centric networking with cryptographically verifiable identities and policy‑based authorization, aligning networking more closely with zero‑trust principles.

NetFoundry also maintains and actively invests in OpenZiti, its open‑source secure networking platform. The goal is to create a “Linux of secure networking,” supported by a growing global community.
