IT & Security for
Manufacturing Floors
Secure your shop-floor (OT) and office (IT) networks, floor monitoring, and access control for manufacturers across Southern Colorado.
The Problem
Manufacturing IT has unique challenges
Your shop floor can't go down. Your OT network and your business network need to stay separate. And your equipment is too valuable to leave unsecured.
OT/IT network crossover
When your production-floor equipment (OT) and your office systems (IT) share one network, a ransomware infection on the office side can jump to the floor and halt operations.
Blind spots on the floor
Theft, safety incidents, and equipment misuse often go undetected without proper surveillance coverage.
Uncontrolled access
When anyone can walk into any area, equipment gets damaged and liability grows.
Solutions
What we build for manufacturers
01
Walling Off Your Shop-Floor and Office Networks
We design and implement separate, firewalled networks for your production equipment and your business systems, so a problem on the office side is far less likely to reach your production floor.
- Separate, walled-off networks and firewalls for OT and business traffic
- Controlled, logged paths between the two networks
- Makes it far harder for office-side ransomware to reach the floor
02
Floor & Perimeter Surveillance
UniFi camera systems covering production areas, loading docks, equipment yards, and entry points, accessible remotely from any device.
03
Zoned Access Control
Badge-based or keypad access control that lets you lock down high-value areas (server rooms, chemical storage, equipment bays) by role or shift.
04
Managed IT & Help Desk
Full managed services for your office and administrative staff: monitoring, software updates, Microsoft 365, and a help desk that actually picks up the phone.
Uptime First
An idle line is the most expensive thing in your building
When a machine drops off the network or the office systems go down, it is not just an IT ticket. It is a crew standing around on the clock, orders shipping late, and overtime to catch back up. We build and run manufacturing IT around keeping the floor moving, not just closing tickets after something already bit you.
Catch failures before they stop a line
Automated monitoring on every plan flags a failing switch, a full drive, or a backup that quietly stopped running, so we fix it on a Tuesday afternoon instead of during your Thursday rush.
Redundancy where it actually counts
Backup cellular internet for cloud-dependent machines and ERP, and UPS-backed network gear so a power flicker does not knock the floor offline. We harden the few things that, if they drop, stop everyone.
A local person who knows your plant
When something does go down, you reach someone who has walked your floor and knows your setup, not a national queue reading a script. Same-day on-site across Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Fountain.
How we work on a running plant
We separate your networks without knocking the floor offline
The real fear when a new IT company touches a running plant is that they break something that stops production. Fair. So we work the way a plant manager would want us to.
Planned, staged, and reversible
We document the floor before we change anything, schedule the work in your change windows, and keep a rollback ready before we touch a production system. Your controllers are not generic office PCs, and we do not treat them like they are.
- Changes scheduled around your shifts and planned downtime, not whenever suits us
- A written rollback plan before any change that could touch production
- The floor mapped and documented before we wall it off, so nothing is a surprise
- PLCs, HMIs, and machine controllers handled as the fragile, vendor-locked systems they are
- A staged switch over, so office and floor get separated without an all-at-once switch
Switching is easier than you think
Moving off your current IT, without the gap
Most manufacturers we talk to are not starting from scratch. They have a generic IT provider or a pay-as-you-go guy who treats a shop floor like a row of desks. Taking over is the part people dread, so we made it boring.
No hostage data
You own your data, passwords, and documentation, in writing. We put a clear off-boarding clause in from day one, so leaving is always your choice and never a fight.
Switch over once it is proven
We run discovery and stand up our monitoring and security alongside your current setup first, then switch over once it is verified working. No all-at-once switch, no week of limbo while the floor waits.
Supply a defense prime?
Many DoD supply-chain contracts now expect CMMC Level 2
If you machine, fabricate, or assemble for a defense prime in the Colorado Springs corridor, CMMC 2.0 is now the price of keeping the contract. We help you build the controls and the evidence an assessor asks for.
