Manufacturing

We provide IT solutions for manufacturing that strengthen security, stability, and communication across every site. Our services protect production, minimise downtime, and keep your operation running at peak performance.

Free your engineers to do their best work

Your teams should focus on output, not IT issues. We keep your networks stable, your systems connected, and your engineers free to focus on production, not problems.

Ready your factory for real-world pressure

Give your operation IT that performs under pressure. We deliver secure, resilient systems that protect critical processes and keep every site running reliably, shift after shift.

Step confidently into your digital future

Prepare your production for what comes next. We align IT and OT, support IIoT adoption, and build the scalable digital foundations your smart-factory journey depends on.

How we support the manufacturing sector

We support manufacturers with three core capabilities designed to reduce operational risk, strengthen communication, and improve production reliability. Our IT, cybersecurity, and telephony solutions work together to protect critical systems, minimise downtime, and keep your entire operation running smoothly across every site.

FAQs

What makes IT AND GENERAL different from other IT providers for manufacturing?

We understand industrial environments, uptime-critical systems, and rugged hardware needs. Our solutions combine robust technology with practical engineering expertise to ensure IT never becomes the reason production slows or stops.

Do you work with both large and small manufacturing companies?

Yes. We support single-site manufacturers and multi-facility operations. Our systems scale easily, delivering consistent performance and security across any network size.

How do you ensure cybersecurity for production environments?

We secure both IT and OT. This includes threat detection, vulnerability assessments, and network segmentation using Netgate pfSense. Our methods align with ISO 27001, NIST, and industry standards.

What happens if a system fails or there’s a network outage?

Our proactive monitoring and failover resilience keep critical systems running. If an issue occurs, we respond quickly to restore performance and minimise downtime.

Can you integrate with our existing manufacturing systems?

Yes. We integrate with your existing platforms to ensure data flow, visibility, and interoperability. Our goal is smooth integration, not disruption.

How does your telephony solution support safety and communication on-site?

We use ruggedised phones, paging systems, and emergency-ready failover configurations. Even in high-noise environments, communication stays clear and reliable.

Are your IT solutions compliant with industry standards?

Yes. Our solutions follow ISO 27001, NIST, and any sector-specific requirements. Compliance is built into the infrastructure from day one.

What kind of support do you provide after installation?

We offer ongoing maintenance, proactive monitoring, patching, and flexible support plans. Whether you need managed service or targeted technical help, we keep your systems secure and stable.

Start where you are today. Build secure, connected production systems for tomorrow.

From single-site manufacturers to multi-plant operations, we deliver the network, cybersecurity, and telephony expertise that keeps your production running, your data protected, and your systems ready to scale without disruption.
