Manufacturing IT Services for Industrial Operations

What are manufacturing IT services? Manufacturing IT services are specialized technology support, operational technology (OT) security, and managed services designed specifically for manufacturing facilities, industrial plants, and production environments. Unlike general IT support, manufacturing IT services address the unique convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) — including SCADA system security, ERP integration, industrial IoT device management, and production network segmentation. Key aspects of manufacturing IT services include: OT/IT Convergence and Network Security — designing converged OT/IT networks with industrial firewalls, proper segmentation, and security policies for PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs. ERP and Production Software Integration — expert support for SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, and Syspro with integration to MES and quality management systems. Industrial IoT and Smart Manufacturing — managing sensor deployment, connected machines, edge computing, and predictive maintenance systems. Manufacturing Cybersecurity — network segmentation, endpoint protection for industrial workstations, secure remote access, and incident response for production environments. Production Uptime and Disaster Recovery — 24/7 monitoring, proactive maintenance, rapid incident response, and disaster recovery designed to minimize production downtime. Group 4 Networks serves manufacturers across the Greater Toronto Area. Contact our manufacturing IT specialists at (416) 623-9677.
