Challenge

The Problem

A South Florida manufacturing company had no wireless connectivity on their production floor. Equipment monitoring was manual, production data was recorded on paper, and their IT and OT networks were completely separate with no integration. They needed real-time visibility into production metrics without compromising OT security.

Approach

Our Solution

We deployed industrial-grade WiFi with ruggedized access points rated for dust, heat, and vibration. We built a segmented network architecture that safely bridges IT and OT, installed IoT gateways for equipment monitoring, and created a real-time dashboard for production metrics. The entire solution was designed with proper network segmentation to maintain OT security.
