Manufacturing IT support

Manufacturing IT support.

IT support for manufacturers across NSW — ERP and MES uptime, OT/IT segmentation, factory-floor connectivity, and 24/7 monitoring for plants that can't stop.

Why manufacturers choose Chewing IT

Every minute of downtime on a manufacturing line costs real money. Manufacturing IT has to keep ERP and MES systems online, segment operational technology (OT) from corporate IT, and resist the increasingly common ransomware attacks aimed at plant floors.

Chewing IT supports manufacturers with the IT stack that production demands: hardened ERP servers, isolated OT networks, monitored production endpoints, and 24/7 managed detection and response that watches for the indicators of compromise unique to OT environments.

IT challenges manufacturers face

The recurring patterns we see — and the ones that shape how we set up your environment.

Production-line uptime

ERP, MES and the line-side terminals that feed them have to be reliable. Outages stop the line; stopped lines stop billing.

OT and IT segmentation

PLCs, SCADA and machine controllers should never share a flat network with email and finance. We build proper segmentation and monitor the boundary.

24/7 operations, 24/7 risk

Plants run when offices don't. Monitoring, response and on-call coverage have to match the operating hours of the floor.
