Services · Industry 4.0

From machine islands to one connected plant

OT networks with real firewalls, central SCADA, and every legacy PLC brought along — an Industry 4.0 upgrade engineered around the plant you already own.

The network your plant should have had years ago

Industry 4.0 isn't a dashboard subscription. It's a properly segmented OT network, a firewall that earns its name, and every controller — new or thirty years old — speaking to one system.

OT network design

A proper industrial network underneath everything: managed switches, VLAN segmentation, ring redundancy and documented addressing — designed for the plant floor, not borrowed from the office.

VLANsMRP/RSTPManaged switches

Firewall & IT/OT segregation

Industrial firewall routers between production and the business network. Every PLC reachable through NAT with dedicated OT firewall rules — nothing exposed that doesn’t need to be.

Secure remote access

VPN access engineered for vendors and engineers alike: scoped to the machines they support, logged, and revocable — no more unattended TeamViewer boxes on the network.

Central SCADA & virtualisation

Standalone SCADA PCs consolidated onto virtualised hosts and a central WinCC Unified runtime — every machine on one screen, backed up like the IT asset it is.

Legacy connectivity

The old gear comes along: PROFIBUS-DP couplers, EtherNet/IP to legacy PLCs, Modbus gateways and wireless PROFINET links across buildings — no forklift upgrade required.

Data layer

OPC UA and MQTT architectures, plus REST APIs where MES or ERP needs plant data — designed secure from the start, so Industry 4.0 doesn’t mean Industry 4.0 attack surface.

AI security audit

AI agents that hunt the loopholes before someone else does

A firewall is only as good as its rule set, and rule sets rot: vendor exceptions that never got removed, NAT entries nobody remembers, a VPN profile that outlived its contractor. Auditing them by hand happens once and never again.

We set up AI agents that loop through your firewall rules, NAT tables and network configuration — your own plant, with your authorisation — flagging over-broad rules, unused paths and stale access, and writing up findings with concrete fixes. Run it after every change, not once a decade.
