Driving Manufacturing Success with Strategic IT Solutions
A stop on the network or on the MRP or ERP system stops the line. New England manufacturers already run a mix of office systems and floor systems, and those have to talk to each other without becoming one flat network. simpleroute puts redundancy in, uses SD-WAN where the sites need it, and keeps off-site replication so one link or one box is not the whole plant.
Production schedules can sit on virtual desktops. The network gets resubnetted and segmented so the floor and the office stay apart where they should, including industrial control traffic that should never sit on the same path as email. Staff should not be the IT department, and they should not be stuck between the ERP vendor, the machine vendor, and the ISP when something breaks.
Proactive IT Management: Maximizing Uptime, Efficiency, and Productivity
Monitoring runs around the clock. Maintenance is proactive: patching, alert cleanup, and fixes before a line is down. The dedicated desk works the tickets and owns the problem through the vendors. simpleIT® is a flat rate, so the cost is predictable. Someone is dispatched once remote troubleshooting is done, not instead of it. That is meant to extend what a plant already has, or to take the day-to-day when there is no in-house team.
Embracing Industry 4.0: Connecting Your Factory of the Future
Where a plant is ready, simpleroute connects the systems you already run, including industrial control and the tools that feed production data, and keeps that traffic on a network that is segmented and backed up. That is not a promise to install a new factory. It is the same desk, aimed at uptime and at the tools the plant actually uses, including when AI or cloud tools show up later under a real plan.
