Challenges of Manufacturing IT

Most business owners are challenged by three primary IT issues these days:  privacy, security and compliance.  Do you understand the concerns? Do you have a plan to keep your private data safe and secure?

  • Privacy

You want to maintain control of access to all your business critical data, including information about clients, proprietary processes and products, and company finances.

  • Security

Successful protection of the privacy of your data requires a plan and tools customized to the needs of your business. We work with you to determine:

  • Where your data is stored
  • Off-site back up
  • Transit and storage security
  • Access permissions
  • Breach alerts

  • Compliance

Manufacturing compliance includes the regulations and practices manufacturers must comply with in order to produce and market products. Not only is the risk of noncompliance for data protection increasing, the role of government regulatory agencies has been strengthened. And, if you operate internationally, you are bound by a growing number of global standards.

    Microsoft Office 365

    For a full service office in the cloud, Digital6 Technologies can customize Microsoft Office 365 to meet all the challenges for excellence in file management, data privacy and data security in your manufacturing business.

    A review and risk assessment of your operation will help determine exactly which version you need from the integrated solutions ranging from Business Essentials to Business Premium. No matter which options you choose, you and your employees will have access whenever you want from wherever you are working. Advanced mobility and accessibility are key features of Office 365.

    This software is user friendly which promotes increased efficiency and productivity. It is easy to collaborate through file sharing, online meetings and instant messaging. There are options for email encryption, archiving and continuity.

    The Hybrid Solution 

    Often the best data management solution for a manufacturing business is a combination of services, both on-premises and in the cloud.

    Key factors to consider include:

    • Do you experience regular or intermittent fluctuations in data flow?
    • Are you poised to grow significantly either in volume or kind of product or in customer base?
    • Are you concerned about losing control of proprietary information?
    • Are you feeling overwhelmed by ever increasing data collection?
    • Do you want to have more affordable options for data management?

    A hybrid solution gives you:

    • Capacity to Expand Data Storage

    A server on an Azure or AWC platform is immediately responsive to accommodating permanent and temporary fluctuations in data flow.

    • Business Continuity

    An on-premises outage triggers the hybrid backup in the cloud so there is little, if any downtime.

    • Cost Effectiveness

    You can predict your on-premises costs for hardware, services and IT support but have flexibility with pay-as-you-use cloud services.

    • Extra Space

    You don’t have to tie up on-premises resources when you want to manage a manufacturing project or develop and test a product innovation.

    Internet of Things (IoT)

    The manufacturing industry is steadily increasing the amount of money spent on the Internet of Things (IoT). This makes sense as the supply chain can often be very long, and interconnectivity gives a huge boost to production efficiency, customer service and profitability.

    You can collect end-to-end data from all your assets and processes through sensors and IoT enabled devices from the purchase of raw material to delivery of the product to your customer and even to after-sales service. All the data is invaluable for:

    • Supply management
    • Asset management
    • Facility management
    • Ensuring safety and security
    • Monitoring and optimizing performance of machines and employees
    • Quality control
    • Determining customer preference

    The size of your business does not restrict your taking full advantage of all the possibilities for using IoT. Our Digital6 Technologies specialists can work with you to Identify devices which are or could easily be connected to the internet and then to each other. We usually start with your production line and then work up and down the supply chain.

    You will be amazed at how easy and affordable it is to develop an IoT network to provide you with data for managing, optimizing and even growing your manufacturing business.
