Production doesn’t stop when I.T. has a problem—and neither do we. Since 1976, we’ve helped West Michigan manufacturers keep CNC machines connected, production networks secure, and downtime to a minimum. From Grand Rapids to Holland, we keep I.T. out of your way so your team can stay focused on making products, not troubleshooting technology.
Your production equipment belongs on the network — even the machines that were never designed for it. We connect CNC machines, PLCs, EDM equipment, and CMMs to your infrastructure, including older machines that didn’t have network ports when they were built.
The shop floor isn’t an office. Heat, vibration, coolant mist, and metal dust destroy consumer-grade equipment in months. We specify and install industrial-grade networking hardware built to survive your environment — not the same switches and access points you’d put in a conference room.
One phone number. One team that understands your machines and your network together.
Your shop floor and office network shouldn’t work the same way. We separate production equipment from everyday business systems, so a problem in the office doesn’t become a problem on the production floor.
Keep shop-floor equipment separate from your office network.
A ransomware attack shouldn’t stop production.
VLANs, firewalls, and access controls—done right the first time.
Monitor your shop floor without exposing OT systems to the internet.
Customer security requirements aren’t going away. We help you put the right I.T. controls in place, document them properly, and keep production moving while supporting broader cybersecurity services across your business.
Support for defense contractors and suppliers across the supply chain.
Implement and document NIST 800-171 security controls.
Protect systems used for export-controlled work.
Answer customer security questionnaires with confidence.
We implement the controls. Your auditor handles the certification.
Your ERP and manufacturing software keep production moving. Our managed I.T. services keep the systems behind them reliable, protected, and working with your software vendors—so you can stay focused on your business.
Support for the systems your production team relies on every day.
Protect production-critical data with reliable backups and fast recovery.
We work directly with your software vendors, so you don’t have to.
Production doesn’t stop because the internet goes down or a server fails. We build the right level of redundancy into your I.T. environment, so when something goes wrong, your team keeps working and your customers never know there was a problem.
If your primary internet connection goes down, your backup connection takes over automatically. Your production floor stays online without waiting for the ISP to fix the problem.
We keep replacement network equipment ready for the environments that can’t afford long outages. If hardware fails, we’re ready to get you back up quickly.
Some systems are too important to lose. We help you choose the right backup and redundancy strategy based on what your business can actually afford to be without.
Redundancy isn’t about buying more hardware. It’s about understanding what an hour of downtime really costs and building an I.T. environment that makes sense for your business.
We help protect the areas that keep production moving — without adding more I.T. headaches for your team.
Cameras where they matter: production areas, shipping and receiving, and secure zones.
Key card access for shop entrances, tool cribs, and other areas that need tighter control.
Built on the same network we already designed for you — one vendor, one team, one phone number.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from West Michigan manufacturers.
Yes. We help manufacturers prepare for customer security reviews by putting the right protections in place and documenting them clearly. Whether it’s security questionnaires, policies, or technical controls, we’ll help you answer with confidence and keep the process moving.
If you work with the Department of Defense or handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), CMMC may apply to your business. We’ll help you understand what’s required, what doesn’t apply, and the practical steps to move forward without overcomplicating your I.T.
Older equipment often wasn’t designed with modern security in mind. We isolate those systems, control how they communicate, and keep production running while reducing unnecessary risk. You don’t have to replace working equipment just to improve security.
We plan for that before it happens. From backups to recovery planning and redundant hardware, we help minimize downtime and get production back up as quickly as possible. The goal is simple: keep your business moving.
In most cases, yes. We work with your ERP vendor, keep the supporting I.T. reliable, and coordinate the fix when something goes wrong. If your current provider keeps leaving you in the middle, we can make switching I.T. providers straightforward.
