Manufacturing IT Services

Manufacturing is, and has always been, the backbone of the American economy.  Whether its automobile manufacturing or punching holes in sheet metal, the American economy was built on, and is dependent upon, this work force.  In the manufacturing industry, there is one constant among all manufacturers – during business hours, the production line cannot go down.  This requirement is reliant on a good technology plan from a IT partner that understands manufacturing needs.  In no other market vertical is downtime more measurable than manufacturing.  That is why manufacturing companies rely heavily on technology partnerships with qualified businesses like Entec Systems.

 

Manufacturing IT ServicesThe manufacturing industry represents a significant segment of the American economy.  Not only are the goods produced essential to a thriving economy and impactful to things such as infrastructure and national defense, manufacturing represents a significant portion of the labor force and remains a focus for Entec.

IT and communication challenges faced by the manufacturing industry include:

  • Outages that slow down the delivery of information or essential goods.
  • Loss of sensitive industry information when outages or other system failures occur.
  • Security breaches that threaten to compromise industrial secrets.
  • Communication challenges when email or Cloud-Based Phone Systems don’t function properly.
  • Categorizing and tracking inventory.
