Benefits of Secure, Agile Industrial IT & Industrial Networking
Secure Industrial IT allows the enablement of IIoT, which helps achieve efficiencies in production times, energy savings, and other benefits.
-15%
Costs Reduction
Coming from the reduction of Cyber threats and the optimisation of O&M Cost Centres.
+25%
Efficiency Increase
From improvements in workforce efficiency and reductions in production and machinery downtime.
Network Design, Implementation & Support
We design resilient and efficient communication architectures for you to visualise and analyse production data in real-time. But, we don't stop there.
Besides all the advice you may need to improve your Industrial IT, we help you with the installation of all the Networking Systems you need, and offer you premium Industrial Networks support.
Through all of our services you'll get:
Industrial Environments Specialisation
We have experience in implementing networks that securely handle data on a large scale, cater to real-time needs, meet specialist
security requirements and are able to efficiently operate in harsh environments.
For us, Cyber Security is much more than simple Ransomeware prevention. Through the years, we've come to understand what is key for industrials to protect their assets and be resilient.
Agility
Speed, Integration & Scalability.... Through our IIoT Stages and LSD+T method, we deliver projects at a fast speed and at any scale, integrating Enterprise systems, Legacy systems or any Industrial system you may have.
Industrial IT vs Enterprise IT
An enterprise, or corporate network, is the communications backbone of a business that connects computers and devices across departments, facilitating data accessibility. Then, it should be a good idea to use it to connect everything in your plant, right?
Hold up... because what you really need is an Industrial Network. An infrastructure able to securely handle communications and data on a large scale, catering to real-time needs, with special security requirements and able to work in rough environments.
Industrial IT has special requirements to connect Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and OT that are found across a large range of asset-intensive sectors performing diverse tasks, ranging from monitoring critical infrastructure (CI) to controlling robots and automation on the plant floor.
Industrial IT, the Core of IIoT
Industrial Networks & IT are the central enablers of IIoT, Data Sharing, Industrial Cyber Security, Automation, and the creation of Digital Twins. Hence, they are core to Digital Transformation and Smart Manufacturing. Big buzzwords.
To achieve exponential efficiencies, it is not enough to digitally transform your operations by simply controlling machinery through OT. Today is key to connect machinery and OT to Enterprise and IT systems (OT/IT Convergence), and to thousands of Apps that help manufacturers to access advanced analytics and boost production processes.
Without Industrial-grade Networks that safely connect everything together on the factory floor and to the Internet, that just wouldn't be possible.

IT | OT Convergence
It is quite common in industrial settings to find IT departments and systems totally disconnected from their OT counterparts. Here is why it is important to have them working together, and what we do about it...
To succeed in a digital transformation project, it is critical to have a well-designed and seamless integration of the company's business (IT) and operational (OT) data. For processes to be analysed in-depth and optimised, sensors and machinery need to be integrated into the management of industrial environments (such as those for water treatment, electric power and factories).
When paired with Edge Computing, Industrial IT enables OT towards an IIoT model. As OT devices are not traditionally networked technology, they need this convergence to acquire the capability to collect, transfer and analyse data. Traditional OT devices, sensors, for example, can collect data, but themselves cannot transmit the data over a large network or perform any sort of in-depth analysis on that data.
