IT Solutions for Manufacturing & Industrial Operations
Purpose-built technology infrastructure for production environments, industrial networking, and OT/IT convergence. Backed by 24/7/365 support from a team that understands the factory floor.
Technology That Keeps Production Moving
Manufacturing operations depend on reliable connectivity, secure networks, and systems that work in demanding environments. At Alextricity Technologies, we specialize in bridging the gap between operational technology and information technology so your production lines stay running and your data stays protected.
OT/IT Convergence
Modern manufacturing requires operational technology and information technology to work together seamlessly. We design and implement converged network architectures that connect your SCADA systems, PLCs, HMIs, and production equipment to your business network without compromising security or reliability.
Industrial Networking
Factory floors are harsh environments for technology. We deploy ruggedized networking equipment rated for dust, vibration, temperature extremes, and electromagnetic interference. From production floor WiFi coverage to fiber backbone installations, we build networks that survive industrial conditions.
ERP System Support
Your ERP platform is the backbone of your manufacturing operation. We provide infrastructure support, performance optimization, and integration services for ERP systems to ensure your production planning, inventory management, and supply chain tools operate without interruption.
SCADA & HMI Support
We support the network infrastructure that your SCADA and HMI systems depend on, ensuring reliable communication between control systems and the business network while maintaining strict network segmentation to protect critical industrial control systems from cyber threats.
Production Floor Connectivity
Tablets, barcode scanners, wireless sensors, and IoT devices are now standard on production floors. We design and deploy wireless networks that eliminate dead zones, support high device density, and provide the throughput your connected equipment demands.
Network Segmentation
A flat network is a security disaster waiting to happen in manufacturing. We implement proper network segmentation using VLANs, firewalls, and access controls to isolate OT systems from IT networks, guest access from production traffic, and sensitive data from general operations.
Challenges vs. Solutions
Manufacturing IT is not the same as office IT. Here is how we address the problems unique to industrial environments.
Common Challenges
- Dead WiFi zones on the production floor — metal structures, machinery, and building materials block wireless signals, leaving critical areas without connectivity.
- OT/IT security gaps — operational technology was never designed to be internet-connected, creating dangerous vulnerabilities when converged with business networks.
- ERP integration complexity — connecting production equipment, inventory systems, and business platforms into a cohesive workflow is technically demanding.
- Harsh physical environments — dust, heat, vibration, and moisture destroy consumer-grade networking equipment in months.
- Downtime equals lost revenue — every minute of unplanned downtime directly impacts production output and profitability.
How We Help
- Industrial-grade networking — we deploy ruggedized access points, managed switches, and cabling designed for factory environments, with site surveys to eliminate dead zones.
- Network segmentation and security — we isolate OT and IT networks with firewalls, VLANs, and access controls while maintaining the connectivity your operations require.
- Production monitoring — proactive network monitoring identifies failing equipment and performance issues before they cause production stoppages.
- Ruggedized equipment deployment — we source and install industrial-rated hardware built to withstand the conditions on your production floor.
- 24/7/365 support — manufacturing does not operate on a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. Our team is available around the clock to keep your operations running.
Compliance: CMMC for Defense Contractors
If your manufacturing operation serves defense contracts, CMMC compliance is not optional. Alextricity Technologies helps manufacturers implement the cybersecurity controls, documentation, and infrastructure required to meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification standards and protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) throughout your supply chain.
