Operational technology kept properly separate from the office network, machines instrumented so
downtime is measured rather than estimated, and plant-grade infrastructure built for dust, heat and
vibration.
Everyone agrees the line stops too often, but nobody can say for how long, how many times, or which cause repeats. Instrumentation turns argument into a chart.
A compromised office workstation has a path to control systems. Segmentation is the single highest-value change in most plants we assess.
Run hours and fuel consumption are logged manually, and the numbers do not match. Level and run-hour sensors settle it in a fortnight
Servicing on a fixed schedule regardless of actual load, and emergency work when something fails anyway. Condition data moves you between the two.
The components are standard. How they are arranged is what the sector decides.
Operational technology on its own network with a controlled, monitored path to the business side, designed before deployment rather than after an incident.
The plant floor is unreachable from a compromised office device.
Run state, cycle counts, motor current and vibration captured per machine or line, with stoppage reasons recorded.
Downtime measured in minutes with causes ranked by frequency and cost.
Industrial switching, appropriate enclosure ratings, and cable specification chosen for dust, heat, vibration and washdown.
Infrastructure that survives the environment rather than needing replacement annually.
Consumption by circuit, generator run hours, fuel level and mains changeover events
A real cost per production hour, and fuel figures that reconcile.
Telemetry fed into existing SCADA, maintenance or ERP systems rather than a separate dashboard.
One source of truth instead of a screen nobody opens
Vibration and current trends analysed to flag deterioration before failure.
Servicing scheduled on condition rather than the calendar or the breakdown.
Reliable links between plant, warehouse and offices, with failover where production depends on it.
Systems that keep recording when the primary link drops.
Run state, cycle counts, motor current and vibration captured per machine or line, with stoppage reasons recorded.
Downtime measured in minutes with causes ranked by frequency and cost.
Industrial switching, appropriate enclosure ratings, and cable specification chosen for dust, heat, vibration and washdown.
Infrastructure that survives the environment rather than needing replacement annually.
We normally instrument a single line or a single utility, prove the data answers
the question the plant already has, then extend. That keeps the first spend
small and means the rollout is designed around findings rather than assumptions.
Almost never. Most legacy equipment can be instrumented externally with clamp meters, vibration sensors and probes, or read from an existing PLC. Replacement is a last resort, not a starting point.
When it is segmented properly, yes. Operational technology sits on its own network with a controlled and monitored path to the business side, designed before the first sensor is mounted.
A pilot on one line typically produces actionable patterns within four to eight weeks, which is long enough to capture repeating stoppage causes rather than one bad week.
No. Gateways buffer readings locally and forward when the link returns, and local rules can raise an alert even with no internet at all.
The first assessment is free, and you keep the findings whether or not you engage us.
