Automotive Manufacturing

IT engineered for
automotive production.

From SCADA systems and robotic cells to MES platforms and IATF compliance — we keep automotive production lines running with IT that's as reliable as your manufacturing processes demand.

Automotive IT isn't
office IT

Automotive plants run 24/7 with zero margin for error. A network failure doesn't mean a slow email day — it means the line stops, parts pile up, and OEM delivery windows close. Your IT provider needs to understand that reality.

OT/IT Convergence

Robotic welding cells, PLCs, and SCADA systems now share infrastructure with ERP and corporate IT. Most IT providers don't understand OT protocols — and that's how a phishing email ends up stopping a stamping press.

Ransomware Targeting

Manufacturing is the #1 most attacked industry, and automotive is a prime target — high-value IP, JIT delivery pressure, and 24/7 operations make you more likely to pay. Attackers know this.

Legacy Equipment

Fanuc robots running 20-year-old firmware. CNC machines on Windows XP. Paint shop controllers that can't be patched. This equipment cost millions and will run for decades — you need IT that secures it without replacing it.

JIT Means Zero Tolerance

Just-in-time delivery to OEMs means every minute of downtime ripples through the supply chain. Miss a delivery window and you're paying premium freight, eating chargebacks, and risking your supplier scorecard.

IT services designed for
automotive production

We bridge the gap between your production floor, your engineering team, and your front office — with security, reliability, and deep automotive manufacturing knowledge.

OT/IT Network Design

Properly segmented networks that keep production systems isolated from corporate IT. We design, implement, and monitor network architectures that follow IEC 62443 and Purdue Model best practices — so a phishing email never reaches your PLCs.

Industrial Cybersecurity

Defence in depth for manufacturing environments. Endpoint protection that doesn't interfere with production software, network monitoring tuned for OT protocols, incident response plans, and staff training tailored to plant operations.

SCADA & MES Support

We support the systems that run your plant. SCADA monitoring, MES integration with ERP, historian database management, and real-time data collection — maintained by engineers who understand what these systems actually do.

ERP Integration

Whether you run SAP, Oracle, Epicor, or Syspro, we keep your ERP healthy and connected. Server management, performance tuning, backup strategies, and integrations between ERP, MES, and shop floor systems.

Plant Floor Networking

Industrial-grade wireless and wired networking for harsh environments. Ruggedized access points, managed switches with VLAN segmentation, redundant paths for critical systems, and coverage that reaches every corner of the plant.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

Meet IATF 16949, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and customer-mandated cybersecurity requirements. We help you document, implement, and maintain the controls your auditors and customers expect — without disrupting production.

Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure

Not everything belongs in the cloud, and not everything should stay on-prem. We architect hybrid solutions that put latency-sensitive workloads close to the floor and move everything else to scalable, cost-effective cloud infrastructure.

Proactive Maintenance & Monitoring

24/7 monitoring of servers, network equipment, and critical OT systems. Automated alerting, predictive maintenance integration, and proactive remediation — because by the time someone reports a problem on the floor, it's already costing you money.

Automotive Engineering
IT Services

Your engineering team drives everything — from concept through PPAP. Massive CAD datasets, GPU-intensive simulation workloads, strict OEM data requirements, and PLM integrations that can't afford to fail. We build IT environments engineered for the precision your work demands.

Why Automotive Engineering IT Is Different

Massive file sizes — CAD assemblies, FEA simulations, and CFD datasets routinely hit tens of gigabytes per project. Your network and storage need to handle this without bottlenecks.
OEM data security mandatesTISAX, IATF 16949, and individual OEM cybersecurity requirements dictate how you store, transmit, and control access to engineering data. Non-compliance means losing contracts.
GPU-intensive workstations — SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, and ANSYS need high-performance hardware with proper driver management, licensing servers, and remote access for hybrid teams.
Supply chain integration — EDI, supplier portals, PLM systems, and real-time collaboration with Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs require secure, reliable connectivity and identity management.
IP protection — Your designs are your competitive advantage. Data loss prevention, access controls, and encrypted collaboration aren't optional — they're survival.

10Gb+ Network Backbone
GPU Workstation Management

Engineering Workstation Management

Spec, deploy, and manage high-performance workstations for CAD/CAM/CAE. GPU driver management, floating license servers (FlexLM, Sentinel), performance monitoring, and lifecycle planning — so your engineers never wait on their hardware.

PLM & PDM Infrastructure

We build and manage the infrastructure behind Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, and other PLM/PDM platforms. High-speed storage, replication, vault management, and integrations with your ERP and supplier portals.

TISAX & OEM Security Compliance

We prepare your IT environment for TISAX assessments and individual OEM cybersecurity audits. Information security management, access controls, data classification, incident response, and the documentation trail auditors demand.

High-Performance Storage & Networking

10Gb+ backbone networks, NAS/SAN storage optimized for large engineering files, and network architecture that eliminates the bottleneck between your engineers and their data. No more waiting 20 minutes to open an assembly.

Secure Remote Engineering

GPU-accelerated virtual desktops, secure VPN with split tunnelling for CAD traffic, and cloud workstations for overflow capacity. Your engineers get full-performance access to their tools from anywhere — without exposing your IP.

Supply Chain Connectivity

Secure EDI connections, supplier portal management, encrypted file transfer, and identity federation with OEM partner networks. We make sure data flows smoothly between you, your customers, and your supply chain — without gaps in security.

We speak
automotive

We don't just know IT — we know what happens when IT fails on an automotive production floor. Our engineers understand OT protocols, legacy robot controllers, IATF audit requirements, and the reality that "schedule the update for the weekend" often means "there is no weekend."

Common questions

Can you work with our existing OT integrator?
Absolutely. We complement OT integrators by handling the IT and network infrastructure side. We'll coordinate directly with your automation team to ensure clean handoffs between OT and IT domains.
How do you handle legacy systems that can't be patched?
Network segmentation, application whitelisting, and compensating controls. We isolate legacy systems in dedicated VLANs with strict firewall rules so they can operate safely without exposing the rest of your network.
Do you support multi-site manufacturing operations?
Yes. We manage SD-WAN and site-to-site connectivity, centralized monitoring, and consistent security policies across all locations. Same standards, same response time, regardless of which plant needs help.
What automotive engineering software do you support?
SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, ANSYS, Altair HyperWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, and associated PLM platforms (Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE). We handle licensing, deployment, updates, and the infrastructure they run on.
How do you schedule maintenance without disrupting production?
We align all maintenance windows with your production schedule. Critical patches are staged and tested before deployment. Non-critical updates are batched to planned downtime windows. Nothing goes live without your plant manager's sign-off.
