If your production floor still looks like this — you’re not alone
Every manufacturer we work with faces the same core challenges: outdated systems, disconnected data, rising cybersecurity risks, and remote facilities that are hard to manage.
Here’s what that looks like — and why it costs you more than you think.
Legacy Systems &
Equipment Integration
- Outdated machines or PLCs that can’t connect securely to modern networks.
- Lack of visibility or real-time data from the production floor.
- Vendor-locked or proprietary software that prevents upgrades.
- “If it’s working, don’t touch it” mindset — a habit that creates long-term risk.
Poor Data & System
Integration
- ERP, MES, inventory, and accounting systems don’t “talk” to each other.
- Manual data entry between systems → errors, wasted time, and inefficiencies.
- No dashboards or actionable analytics for KPIs like OEE, downtime, and scrap rates.
- Paper-based processes that delay decisions and hide real performance gaps.
Cybersecurity Gaps &
Compliance Pressure
- Little or no segmentation between IT and OT networks.
- Weak password management or shared credentials across workstations.
- Minimal security awareness among operators and maintenance staff.
- Complex compliance frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, ISO 27001) that are confusing and costly.
- Ransomware targeting production uptime and sensitive operational data.
Connectivity & Remote
Access Challenges
- Remote plants operating with poor or unreliable internet.
- VPN and remote access tools that are clunky or insecure.
- OT systems that can’t safely connect to the cloud or be monitored remotely.
