Industries
Plant-floor IT, run by people who understand uptime.
OT/IT convergence, ERP integration, compliance — the IT operations that don't get to take a day off.
Where downtime is measured in dollars per minute
The network feeds the line.
FCG supports discrete and process manufacturers — single facility, multi-plant, or operators integrating new acquisitions. The work sits at the intersection of office IT, OT, and the compliance regimes that increasingly govern both.
What we see in manufacturing environments
The recurring problems on the floor.
IT/OT segmentation
Office IT and the production floor have to talk in some places and stay completely separate in others. Auditors and insurers are increasingly specific about which controls go where.
ERP / MES integration
The ERP runs the business, the MES runs the floor, and they need to exchange data without becoming each other's attack surface. Identity, transport, and logging done correctly.
Production-floor connectivity
Wired, wireless, ruggedized devices, legacy serial gear that won't die. The shop floor environment is harsher than the office and tolerates fewer surprises.
Compliance + insurance pressure
NIST, CMMC, ISO, customer security questionnaires, cyber-insurance requirements. The control set is real and the documentation is non-negotiable.
Systems we support
The manufacturing stack we work in.
Vendor-pragmatic on the platforms; opinionated on the controls around them. The interesting work is the segmentation, the identity model, and the boring documentation that keeps your customers' security questionnaires answered without scrambling.
- ERP and MES platforms (vendor-pragmatic)
- Shop-floor identity and ruggedized endpoints
- IT/OT network segmentation and monitoring
- Cybersecurity baseline + Compliance add-on
- Backup, disaster recovery, and continuity testing
- Multi-site coordination across plants
Plant tour starts with a Free Assessment.
We'll walk the floor with you, look at the network, and give an honest read on segmentation, compliance gaps, and continuity risk. Written report, no pitch.
