IT solutions for manufacturing, built around production uptime.

In an office, a network problem is an inconvenience. On a plant floor it stops receiving, halts a line, delays a shipment and pushes labor into overtime. That difference should change how the environment is designed, monitored and supported — not just how quickly someone answers the phone.

We design manufacturing environments so a single failure does not stop production: redundant internet paths, segmented networks, resilient wireless coverage across the floor, and recovery plans tested against real restore times rather than assumed ones.

• ERP — Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and legacy systems still in service
• Barcode scanning, label printing and warehouse mobile devices
• Shop-floor PCs, terminals and kiosk workstations
• Production and machine-adjacent equipment that must stay reachable but isolated
• Shipping stations and carrier software
• Reporting and dashboards built on Power BI
• Cameras, access control and other operational systems on the same physical plant

Machine controllers, HMIs and older embedded systems frequently cannot be patched on a normal cycle and were never designed to sit on a routable business network. Segmentation, tightly-scoped access and monitoring let those systems keep running without becoming the path an attacker uses to reach finance and ERP.

We document what is on the floor, what it needs to talk to and what it should never be able to reach — then enforce it in the network rather than in a policy binder.

Manufacturers usually have the data they need already; it is trapped in ERP tables, spreadsheets and paper. Our ERP and Power BI work focuses on making inventory accuracy, throughput, on-time delivery and margin visible without a monthly rebuild by hand.

A second plant or warehouse is where informal IT breaks. Site-to-site connectivity, consistent identity, standardized hardware, uniform naming and a single support model make the second and third locations behave like the first instead of becoming their own islands.

Before any changes hit the production floor, we run an OT network assessment that maps what is actually connected — PLCs, HMIs, historians, switches, access points, cameras, and the traffic paths between them. We document Purdue zones, segment boundaries, vendor access paths, and single points of failure.

The cutover is then built as a sequence: discovery first, backup and rollback verified, then VLAN and firewall changes in maintenance windows, followed by wireless validation and scanner roaming tests. Each step is tracked in a project plan so the cutover does not become a surprise.
