Manufacturing & Logistics

IT delivery built around manufacturing & logistics constraints

Plant networks were designed by control engineers for control systems, and then someone connected them to the corporate LAN. We work the seam between OT and IT — segmenting safely, supporting equipment that predates the people maintaining it, and scheduling around production rather than in spite of it.

Frameworks we deliver against

  • IEC 62443
  • ISO 27001
  • ISO 45001

The pressures

What makes this sector different

Not a list of technologies — a list of the things that constrain when, how and by whom work can be done.
  • OT networks converging with corporate IT without a security model
  • Industrial equipment running unsupported operating systems
  • Production schedules that leave almost no maintenance window
  • Harsh physical environments degrading standard IT hardware

Our response

How we work inside those constraints

Each of these is something we do differently in this sector than we would elsewhere.
  • IT/OT segmentation

    Purdue-model-aligned segmentation that protects the plant floor without breaking control traffic.

  • Industrial-grade deployment

    Ruggedised switching, enclosures and cabling specified for temperature, dust and vibration.

  • Shutdown-window delivery

    Work packaged into planned shutdowns with rehearsed sequencing and hard abort criteria.

Services

Most used in manufacturing & logistics

    Longest outage

Their P1 response has never once been late in three years, and when they missed a P3 target last spring the credit appeared on the invoice before we noticed. That is what accountability looks like.

Compliance

The frameworks that shape delivery here

We hold the accreditations and we produce the evidence as work happens, rather than reconstructing it before an audit.
  • IEC 62443
  • ISO 27001
  • ISO 45001

Other sectors

Also working in

  • Finance & Banking

    Regulated infrastructure, evidenced change control and support windows that respect market hours.

  • Telecommunications

    Field engineering at national scale — exchange, edge and customer premises, on the same SLA.

  • Healthcare & Life Sciences

    Clinical-safe change, patient data protection and infrastructure that cannot be taken offline casually.

Manufacturing & Logistics

Bring us the constraint, not just the requirement

The sooner we understand your change windows, clearance requirements and freeze calendar, the more accurate the plan will be — and the fewer surprises land in month three.
