IT for manufacturers

IT for manufacturing: learn more

The detail, topic by topic: how we approach it in practice.

ERP and integrations

ERP, planning and machines that talk to each other

The ERP system is often the heart of a manufacturing business: orders, stock, purchasing, planning and invoicing. Around it are integrations with the warehouse, the webshop, the accounts, scanners and sometimes directly with machines. When those integrations work well, information flows by itself from order to shop floor and back again.

We provide a stable foundation under your ERP: server or cloud, backup, access and updates, in consultation with your ERP supplier. If your ERP still runs on its own server, it can move to ANYBASE, our own private cloud in a Tier 3 designed data centre in the European Union. With our software team we build integrations and automation, for example so nobody has to retype data between systems.

Networks in the factory

A network that suits your production hall

A factory hall places different demands on a network than an office does. Large spaces, steel structures and machines make wifi a craft of its own, while handheld scanners, tablets and forklift terminals need a connection everywhere. We design the network around what happens in the hall, with good coverage where it is needed.

  • Wifi with coverage in the hall, warehouse and dispatch area
  • Separate networks for office, production and guests
  • Firewall management and secure remote access for machine suppliers
  • Connections between sites or a second production location
  • Monitoring of switches, access points and connections

Continuity and security

Continuity and Cybersecurity for manufacturing

A manufacturer wants production to keep going, outside office hours too. That is why we work proactively: our monitoring keeps watch continuously and flags anything unusual, so we solve many problems before the shop floor notices. We set up backup and recovery so that you are quickly back at work after an incident.

Customers and supply chain partners increasingly ask for proof that your security is in order. Part of the manufacturing industry also falls under NIS2 (the Cyberbeveiligingswet in the Netherlands), for example manufacturers of machinery, electronics, electrical equipment and vehicles. We help with security, documentation and Smart Compliance, so you are ready when a customer or auditor asks. We ourselves are certified to ISO 27001, which counts when a customer looks at the security of your suppliers.

  • Security for laptops, PCs and servers, with updates on a fixed schedule
  • Management of phones, tablets and handheld scanners on the shop floor
  • Backup and recovery for systems in the office and in production
  • Microsoft 365 set up securely, for the office and the home office
