Frequently Asked Questions About Manufacturing IT Support
Can you support IT environments with both office and factory networks?
What manufacturing software platforms do you support?
We support ERP and job management systems like SAP, NetSuite, MYOB Advanced, and others. We also help with integration, updates, and vendor liaison.
How do you secure SCADA and IoT devices in a manufacturing environment?
We use network segmentation, firewall rules, device isolation, and active monitoring to protect operational technologies. These measures help defend against unauthorised access or malware.
Do you support 24/7 operations or night shifts?
Yes. We provide flexible support arrangements for manufacturers operating outside standard hours, including after-hours response plans and on-call availability.
What if we operate across multiple locations?
We offer centralised IT services that allow consistent policies, backups, security, and monitoring across all your facilities. This makes managing users, devices, and software much easier.
Can you handle dusty or industrial environments with poor connectivity?
Absolutely. We deploy rugged network hardware and use industrial-grade wireless solutions to overcome interference and environmental challenges on the factory floor.
