IT for manufacturers who need the office and the floor running together.
Orders, production and dispatch all rely on systems most people only notice when they stop. We look after the lot so you can keep making things.
Downtime on the floor often starts with a problem in the office.
Manufacturing businesses usually run a mix of new and old: a job or ERP system, a shared server, machines with their own PCs and staff who aren't at a desk all day.
Manufacturers are also a common ransomware target because attackers know every hour of downtime hurts. Good backups and a sensible network design matter more here than almost anywhere.
The challenges we see most often
Every business is different, but these come up again and again.
- Older PCs running machinery or software that can't easily be upgraded
- Network and Wi-Fi coverage across offices, workshops and warehouses
- Job and ERP systems the whole business relies on
- Shared logins on the floor
- Planning upgrades around production
What working with us looks like
Networks built for the whole site
Business firewalls, separate networks for machines and office devices and Wi-Fi that reaches the workshop.
Protection for older equipment
Where a machine PC can't be updated we isolate it, so a problem there can't spread to the rest of the business.
Recovery you can rely on
Backups of your servers and job systems with a recovery plan that has actually been tested.
Projects planned around you
Upgrades and migrations scheduled for quiet periods so production keeps moving.
