ABOUT LUIGI MARGIORE
OT & Automation Engineer | Greenfield Project | Cybersecurity & Industrial Connectivity ExpertI am an OT & Automation Engineer specialized in the design, security, and integration of complex industrial ecosystems. Currently, I am playing a key role in the digital transformation of a €1B+ Greenfield factory project, where I lead the OT Cybersecurity strategy and the development of the digital scope. My expertise lies at the intersection of IT/OT convergence. I don’t just make machines talk; I ensure they do so securely and efficiently. From programming OT Firewalls and network segregation to architecting the connectivity between the shop floor and the cloud, I am committed to building resilient and future-proof industrial infrastructures. Core Technical Expertise: OT Cybersecurity & Networking: Designing secure architectures, network segregation, and self-programmed OT Firewalls. Automation & Control: Advanced programming of PLC (Rockwell Studio Siemens TIA Portal), HMI, and SCADA (Ignition, WinCC, FactoryTalk). Industrial IoT & Data: Configuring TMC servers and IoT gateways for machine interconnection and extracting actionable insights from SQL servers. Governance & Compliance: Subject Matter Expert (SME) for equipment validation, FMEA owner, and lead for Kaizen initiatives. Throughout my career at global leaders like Philip Morris International and on international assignments in Germany, Spain, United States and Russia, I have developed a deep understanding of process control across Primary, Secondary, and Logistics departments. I thrive in high-stakes environments where precision, security, and innovation are non-negotiable.I am always open to connecting with fellow engineering professionals and discussing the future of Industrial Cybersecurity and Smart Manufacturing.
