Manufacturing

Manufacturing IT has to support two worlds: the office (ERP, email, accounting, HR) and the shop floor (PLCs, HMIs, CAM software, measurement equipment, robots, networked machine tools). The rules are different. The risk tolerance is different. The downtime cost is enormous. We build both correctly.

What's different about this industry

The actual issues. Not the generic ones.

OT/IT segmentation

Office networks and operational technology don't belong on the same LAN. We design segmented networks with controlled access — the office can't accidentally reach a CNC controller, and a compromised office endpoint can't pivot to production equipment.

ERP and MES uptime

Whether you're running ECI Macola, Global Shop, JobBOSS, NetSuite, or custom — production stops when the system stops. We monitor performance, manage upgrades, coordinate with the vendor, and back up the data independently.

Legacy equipment and vendor lock-in

Machine tools last 15+ years. The Windows 7 PC running them often does too. We isolate aging equipment from the rest of the network, monitor it tightly, and document compensating controls when patching isn't possible.

ITAR, CMMC, and customer security questionnaires

If you serve aerospace, defense, or government primes — security questionnaires and CMMC compliance are now table stakes. We help you build the documentation, controls, and evidence trail to pass.
