Manufacturing Telecoms and IT Solutions

Few manufacturers can absorb a connectivity problem quietly. When the network struggles, the systems used to plan, track and despatch struggle with it, and the knock-on reaches the line. The common weak points are familiar: bandwidth shared out equally between work that matters and traffic that could wait, wireless designed around an office and then asked to cover a great deal more, and a phone system chosen without much thought for how a plant actually operates.

We start with the network, because everything else sits on top of it. Line-of-business applications — ERP, finance, systems such as NetSuite and Sage — are given priority, and non-essential use is pushed down the order. Wireless is designed for production and storage areas rather than stopping at the office door, with structured cabling and fibre underneath it. Connectivity is planned to reach the cloud services you rely on, and anywhere traffic passes to a supplier or partner, and where a site depends on one circuit we can put a second connection behind it: Ethernet leased lines run from 100Mbps to 100Gbps, with FTTC/FTTP broadband and 4G/5G mobile as backup options.

Security focuses on the sensitive data tied to your production. A Zero Trust approach covers both ends of the problem: the boundary of the network, and what users do once they are inside it. Support is UK-based and runs around the clock rather than to office hours, so it fits how a manufacturing site actually runs, and monitoring is proactive — faults get picked up and worked on without waiting for someone on site to report them. Throughout, you deal with a named local director who knows your sites, not a queue.
