Manufacturing IT That Prevents Downtime on the Floor

We implement disaster recovery plans for manufacturing IT downtime prevention that restore production-critical systems first, followed by business applications, then communication systems. Recovery time objectives are defined for each system during onboarding based on your specific operational tolerance for downtime. Production line systems that directly impact revenue receive the fastest recovery targets and most frequent backup testing.

Infrastructure surrounding your ERP system is managed by our manufacturing IT downtime prevention services including servers, network connectivity, and performance monitoring. Application-level ERP support is coordinated with your vendor while we maintain the technology underneath. Managed cybersecurity protects both office endpoints and the network perimeter around operational technology systems.

Yes. OT and IT network segmentation is a standard practice in our manufacturing IT downtime prevention approach. Production equipment, building automation, and office endpoints operate on separate network segments with firewall rules controlling all cross-segment communication. This protects production systems from threats originating in the office environment and prevents a compromise in one area from spreading to the other.

Yes. VLANs and firewall rules isolating operational technology from your corporate IT network are configured and maintained as part of our manufacturing IT downtime prevention services. Segmentation is designed to allow necessary data flows between production and business systems while blocking unauthorized lateral movement. Rules are reviewed quarterly and updated as your manufacturing environment adds equipment or changes workflows.

Compliance documentation for ISO, ITAR, and other manufacturing standards is maintained alongside standard IT documentation within our manufacturing IT downtime prevention services. Access controls, data handling procedures, and network architecture are configured and documented to meet framework-specific requirements. Our team understands the intersection of manufacturing compliance with IT security controls and documents both dimensions.

Yes. Our help desk is accessible during all operating hours including off-shifts. Manufacturing IT downtime prevention means tickets submitted outside standard business hours receive response within SLA windows. Production-impacting issues receive priority escalation regardless of when they occur because manufacturing operations do not stop at 5 PM. After-hours and weekend support ensures your team has engineering assistance whenever production needs it.
