Connecting every
OT/IT dot in Iiot

ABISS KORTRIJK 2026 in Kortrijk and Breda – FOR THE 11th TIME this one-day industrial technology summit and networking exhibition will welcome 1,200 industrial professionals and 100 exhibitors. Visitors discover and benchmark the latest technologies and insights in IIoT, smart, connected and secure industry. For the second edition in Breda, we will also host at least 500 visitors and 60 exhibitors.

If you recognize yourself in the following statement, you are our ideal visitor and exhibitor: IIoT Success: It Takes Two to Transform. Making tomorrow’s shop floor smarter (OT) fundamentally depends on IT expertise and methodology. An ideal visit combines the innovation or automation lead from OT together with an IT professional who understands shop floor operations. The data-driven smart factory of tomorrow can only be realized when OT and IT expertise and resources are aligned. Therefore, the mission of ABISS in Belgium and the Netherlands is clear: “Connecting every OT/IT dot in IIoT!”

The 3 Themes of ABISS complete the mission

Connecting every OT & IT dot in IIoT with emphasis on “every”

Security of Things

Scalability: An OT specialist can make one machine smart. Connecting 500 machines across multiple countries requires IT network infrastructure and cloud expertise. This theme focuses on platforms, networks and connectivity technologies required to upload, process and return data efficiently to the machine environment.

Intelligence of Things

Data contextualization: IIoT only works when machine data (OT) is correctly interpreted by algorithms (IT). IT specialists and engineers must collaborate to determine relevant data, analysis methods, algorithms, models and LLMs, and translate them into meaningful KPIs such as uptime, OEE and ROI.

Industry Of Things

OT systems are often legacy environments not originally designed for internet connectivity. Installing an IIoT gateway without IT support exposes production sites to cyber risks. IT ensures cybersecurity, while OT defines which operational processes must never be interrupted.
