Integrating Legacy Systems with New Technologies

I’ve been exploring ways to integrate legacy automation systems with newer digital solutions in our facility. It’s a challenge, especially when considering the different communication protocols. Has anyone successfully implemented a modern architecture while preserving legacy equipment? Any insights on tools or strategies that worked would be greatly appreciated.
