Factory Architect – P2 and Manufacturing IT/OT Integration

Project overview

Factory Architect – P2 and Manufacturing IT/OT Integration

For our client Tetra Pak, we are looking for an experienced Factory Architect with deep knowledge of manufacturing architecture, IT/OT integration and Tetra Pak’s internal P2 environment.

The Factory Architect will define and govern the end-to-end architecture for the factory domain. The role connects business and engineering needs with technology decisions, ensuring that manufacturing processes, applications, data, integrations, infrastructure and operational technology evolve as a coherent architecture.

A central part of the assignment is the architecture surrounding P2 and its integration with factory machinery and manufacturing systems. The successful consultant must therefore understand P2’s role in the factory landscape, including its information flows, interfaces, dependencies and operational impact.
