IT for Manufacturing
Keep the line running and the office secure — with IT and OT support built for the realities of the plant floor.
In manufacturing, an IT outage stops the line, and a security incident can halt production for days. Yet plant-floor equipment, aging control systems, and the front office all run on the same network — and all need protecting.
PGH Networks keeps your ERP, production systems, and office IT resilient and secure, bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) on the floor and the IT systems that run the business.
What manufacturing need from IT
Uptime on the floor
Every minute of downtime is lost production. Networks, servers, and ERP have to stay up through every shift.
OT / IT convergence
Control systems, PLCs, and machines increasingly connect to the network — and most were never designed to be secure.
Ransomware resilience
Manufacturers are prime ransomware targets because downtime is so costly. Segmentation and tested backups are essential.
Supply-chain & defense compliance
If you supply the DoD or aerospace, CMMC and NIST 800-171 are now a condition of doing business.

How PGH Networks helps
Network segmentation
We separate plant-floor OT from office IT so a problem in one cannot take down the other — a foundational defense against ransomware.
High-availability infrastructure
Redundant networking and servers engineered to keep ERP and production systems running through hardware failures.
Backup & disaster recovery
Tested recovery plans so a cyberattack or outage means hours of downtime, not days.
CMMC / NIST readiness
For defense-supply-chain manufacturers, we assess gaps and implement the controls required for CMMC and NIST 800-171.
CMMC & NIST 800-171
For manufacturers in the defense and aerospace supply chain, we map your environment to CMMC and NIST 800-171, close the gaps, and document the controls assessors expect.
