IT Support for Manufacturing
Shelbyville, KY

Manufacturing IT support is complex

Manufacturing environments are different from other traditional IT infrastructures. You have technology that supports business staff as well as manufacturing equipment that requires expertise to operate and maintain. As a result, you face an uphill battle when things don’t go as planned. Indeed, machines are the heart of your operations, and if they go down, you lose money.

IT problems are not just the consequence of software or hardware failures though. They can also arise through the inability to properly update a system. These necessary upgrades help protect your systems from threats and shutdowns. So, adequate IT support is crucial in many ways to protect your manufacturing environment and preserve your funds.

In fact, server outages cost businesses $5,000 to over $6,600 per minute, rounding up to $400,000 per hour. This is the average, but even on the low end, a company can expect to lose $10,000 per hour, or even a staggering $5 million per hour, for the largest of enterprises. These statistics show how vulnerable yet important the operations of a manufacturing company are.

While not all downtime can be avoided, you can reduce the amount of time your operations are down by having access to experts who know how to solve the problem. Let’s look at how a partner like DC Plus can help you with your manufacturing IT support.
