IT for Manufacturing & Logistics
Site-to-cloud connectivity and networks built for factory floors, not offices.
Designed against
- IEC 62443
- NIST CSF
- ISO 27001
We build and document to these frameworks. We are not an audit firm and do not issue attestations.
- 01
A network outage stops physical work
When scanners, label printers or the warehouse system drop, the line stops. The cost is measured in units not shipped, so resilience has to be designed in, not bought later.
- 02
Operational technology was never meant to be on the network
Machine controllers and older industrial equipment often run unpatched software with no authentication. Once they share a network with laptops and email, a single compromised device reaches production equipment.
- 03
Sites are not offices
Dust, temperature swings, vibration, metal racking and radio interference all defeat equipment specified from a catalogue. Coverage has to be surveyed on the actual floor, with the racking loaded.
Controls, not features
Each of these produces its own evidence as a by-product of running normally, so the proof exists before anyone asks for it.
- Wi-Fi surveyed on the live floor, with stock in place, not modelled from a plan
- Strict segmentation between operational technology, corporate IT and guest traffic
- Industrial-specification hardware where the environment demands it
- Redundant site connectivity with automatic failover, tested by actually failing it
- Local caching or edge compute so critical operations survive a WAN outage
- Documented recovery procedure per site that on-site staff can follow without us
IT Infrastructure
Networks, devices and offices designed once and designed properly, instead of grown by accident.
Digital Transformation
Retire the systems holding the business back, in a sequence that keeps the business running.
Managed Services
A full IT department on a flat monthly fee, with a named engineer who knows your setup.

About Manufacturing & Logistics
Ask Something ElseAlmost always a survey problem, not an access point problem. Coverage modelled from a floor plan ignores loaded metal racking, which absorbs and reflects signal in ways an empty building does not. We survey with stock in place, at the height the scanners actually operate.
Yes, one-directionally: the machine network pushes data out through a controlled gateway, and nothing on the internet can initiate a connection inward. Exposing controllers directly is how industrial equipment ends up on public scanning services.
We design so the critical path keeps working: a secondary connection with automatic failover, plus local caching or edge compute so picking and packing continue. We then test the failover by actually cutting the primary link, because untested failover fails.
