Keep Your Lines Running: Secure, Reliable, & Scalable Manufacturing IT

From shop-floor Wi-Fi and OT/IT segmentation to cybersecurity, cloud, backup & DR, and AI automation—CoreStack builds and manages the technology backbone that keeps production moving.

OT / IT Segmentation

Protect PLCs, HMIs, and controllers with VLANs, firewalls, and policy-based access to limit lateral movement.

High-Density Shop-Floor Wi-Fi

Reliable coverage for scanners, tablets, and IoT sensors—optimized channel plans and interference mitigation.

Uptime & Safety First

24/7 monitoring, change windows, and rollback plans to minimize downtime and avoid production impact.

Managed IT for Manufacturing

Managed IT & Support

Proactive monitoring, patching, endpoint security, and a responsive helpdesk that understands production windows and shift work.

  • 24/7 monitoring & incident response aligned to your plant schedule.
  • Support for office + shop-floor endpoints, label printers, scanners, and HMIs (as applicable).
  • Lifecycle management: imaging, onboarding/offboarding, asset tracking.

Cybersecurity & Compliance

Reduce risk across IT and OT. We implement layered defenses and practical controls that fit manufacturing realities and standards (NIST-aligned).

  • OT/IT segmentation, MFA, least-privilege access, and hardened remote access.
  • EDR/XDR, email security, vulnerability scans, and phishing simulations.
  • Policy & procedure support (NIST-inspired), vendor risk, and audit readiness.
Cybersecurity for Manufacturing
Network for Manufacturing

Computer Network Infrastructure

Robust wired/wireless for plants, warehouses, and yards—built for interference, density, roaming, and uptime.

  • Heatmaps, AP placement, controller tuning, and channel/power optimization.
  • VLANs per zone (office, production, QA, guest), QoS for VoIP/ERP/MES.
  • Switching, failover, and redundant gateways with monitored health and alerts.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Protect ERP, engineering files, and production data with RPO/RTO objectives that match your tolerance for downtime and data loss.

  • Image + file backups on-site and off-site with immutable storage options.
  • Runbook creation and tested recovery plans for line-of-business apps.
  • Monthly backup verification + health reports.
Backup & DR
Cloud for Manufacturing

Cloud Services

Modernize securely with Microsoft 365/Azure and hybrid architectures that interoperate with on-prem systems and OT environments.

  • M365 identity, MFA/Conditional Access, secure collaboration for engineering & QA.
  • Hybrid files/app hosting, print, and secure remote operations.
  • Cost control, governance, and change management.

Enterprise AI & Automation

Reduce manual work, improve throughput, and accelerate decisions—responsibly. We implement AI copilots and workflow automation that connect to your systems.

  • Predictive maintenance alerts from sensor or log data (when available).
  • Document automations: PO intake, packing slips, SOP search/coprocessors.
  • RPA for repetitive back-office tasks (inventory updates, reconciliations).
AI & Automation
Mini Case

Multi-building plant stabilizes Wi-Fi & reduces tickets 38%

We redesigned AP placement, segmented traffic with VLANs, added QoS for scanners/VoIP, and implemented 24/7 monitoring. Result: fewer disconnects on the floor, faster label printing, and clearer escalation paths.

KPIs We Track
  • Unplanned downtime (IT-attributed)
  • Mean time to resolution (MTTR)
  • Ticket volume by site/shift
  • Backup success & RPO/RTO
  • Patch & vulnerability closure

Manufacturing IT FAQs

Straight answers to common questions we hear from plant managers and IT leads.

Do you work with legacy machines and controllers?

Yes. We isolate legacy assets, restrict access, and add compensating controls so you can modernize safely.

Can changes be done after hours or between shifts?

Absolutely. We plan change windows, communicate impact, and include rollback plans to protect production.

What about RPO/RTO?

We set Recovery Point Objective (max acceptable data loss) and Recovery Time Objective (max acceptable downtime) with you, then design BCDR to hit those targets.

Do you support multiple sites?

Yes—standardized builds, centralized monitoring, and site-based reporting so leadership sees the full picture.

Ready to Stabilize & Secure Your Plant IT?

We’ll assess current risks and give you a prioritized roadmap—fast.
