The Challenge
What We Were Facing
Separate OT and IT networks with no visibility into production line performance. Unplanned downtime averaging 12 hours per month. No remote monitoring capability for plant managers.
Our Solution
How We Solved It
Designed converged OT/IT network with industrial-grade switches, deployed fiber backbone between production zones, implemented secure DMZ between OT and IT networks, and installed 24/7 monitoring with automated alerts.
The Results
Measurable Outcomes
Unplanned downtime dropped 35% in the first quarter.
Plant managers gained real-time dashboards accessible from any location.
Mean time to repair reduced from 4.2 hours to 1.8 hours.
“The OT/IT convergence project gave us real-time visibility into our production lines. Unplanned downtime dropped 35% in the first quarter alone.”
