Managed IT For Manufacturing
Managed IT services for manufacturers. OT/IT convergence, SCADA security, CMMC compliance for defense supply chain, and ERP system support from Petronella Technology Group.
Manufacturing IT Is Different
Manufacturers operate at the intersection of information technology and operational technology. A ransomware attack does not just lock files. It stops production lines, delays shipments, and violates defense contract requirements.
OT/IT Convergence
- Network segmentation between IT systems and operational technology including SCADA, PLCs, and HMIs
- Industrial protocol monitoring for Modbus, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET traffic
- ERP system support for SAP, Oracle Manufacturing, and Epicor including uptime monitoring and patching
- MES integration management connecting shop floor systems to business planning and quality systems
Defense Supply Chain Compliance
- CMMC Level 2 readiness for manufacturers handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- NIST SP 800-171 control implementation across 110 practices with evidence documentation
- ITAR compliance for manufacturers handling defense articles and technical data
- CUI enclave design that isolates controlled data while maintaining production workflow access
Manufacturing-Ready IT Management
Production Continuity
24/7 monitoring of your manufacturing IT infrastructure ensures production lines stay running. We implement redundant systems, automatic failover, and tested disaster recovery plans specifically designed for manufacturing environments where downtime costs $10,000 or more per hour. Our NOC team understands that a production server outage is fundamentally different from a corporate email issue.
Industrial Cybersecurity
Purpose-built security for manufacturing environments that cannot tolerate the scan-and-patch approach used in corporate IT. We deploy passive monitoring for OT networks, implement Purdue Model network segmentation, and manage access controls between IT and OT zones. Our approach protects production systems without introducing latency or disruption to manufacturing processes.
Supply Chain Risk Management
For manufacturers in the defense industrial base, we implement the supply chain risk management controls required by CMMC and NIST 800-161. This includes vendor risk assessments, software bill of materials tracking, and secure file transfer systems for sharing technical data packages with prime contractors and subcontractors.
Multi-Site Management
Unified IT management across multiple manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office locations. Standardized security policies, centralized monitoring, and consistent patching schedules across every site. Our multi-site approach reduces complexity while ensuring each facility meets its specific compliance requirements and production uptime targets.
