IT infrastructure that understands the connection between your engineering department and your shop floor — from CAD to CAM to CNC.
Manufacturing companies face IT challenges that typical office businesses don’t understand:
Unlike typical businesses, your teams work across multiple job sites, client offices, and the main office. Standard IT setups designed for one location don’t work when your “office” is a job trailer on an active construction site.When your CNC machines are down, production stops. When your ERP system fails, you can’t ship product. Downtime in manufacturing isn’t just inconvenient — it’s lost revenue, missed deadlines, and idle workers.
Industrial environments are harsh on technology. Dust, vibration, temperature extremes. Your network needs to reach the production floor and stay reliable in conditions that would destroy typical office equipment.
CNC machines, robotics, PLCs — these systems were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. You need network segmentation that protects production systems while keeping them accessible.
CAD-to-CAM-to-CNC Workflow is Complex
Design files from engineers need to become toolpaths for machines. Mastercam, SolidCAM, Fusion 360 need to talk to your CNC controllers. This isn’t standard office IT — it’s specialized manufacturing technology.
Epicor, SAP, JobBOSS, E2, NetSuite — your ERP tracks jobs, inventory, scheduling, and shipping. When it goes down, your entire operation grinds to a halt. You need IT support that understands ERP systems.
Many manufacturing operations run second and third shifts. IT problems don’t wait for business hours. You need support that understands production can’t stop at 5pm.
Most IT providers have never set foot on a shop floor. We’re different.
Hardware specification for Mastercam, SolidCAM, Fusion 360, ESPRIT. Graphics and simulation performance tuning. Post-processor configuration. License server setup and management.
File transfer workflows from SolidWorks to Mastercam to CNC machines. Network drive configuration for toolpath files. Version control for programs and setups. Backup systems for irreplaceable CAM programs.
DNC (Direct Numeric Control) setup for program transfer. Network connectivity to CNC controllers (Haas, Mazak, Fanuc, etc.). Machine monitoring and data collection. Shop floor WiFi for tablets and monitoring systems.
Epicor, JobBOSS, E2, SAP, NetSuite administration. Server infrastructure and database management. Integration with CAM and production systems. Barcode/scanning system integration.
Industrial-grade switches and access points. Network segmentation (office vs. production). Cable management for harsh environments. Wireless coverage for production floor.
After-hours support for second/third shift. Proactive monitoring of critical systems. Rapid response when production is impacted. Emergency on-site support when needed.
CNC milling, turning, 5-axis machining, Swiss screw machines, EDM, grinding
roduction machining, tool & die, mold making, prototyping, contract manufacturing
Low-volume custom parts, aerospace components, medical device manufacturing, automotive parts
Metal fabrication, laser cutting, waterjet, plasma cutting, tube bending, custom fabrication
Assembly operations, production lines, quality control systems, packaging equipment
Multi-process manufacturing, prototype to production, small batch runs, quick-turn machining
We know the difference between a CAM workstation and an office computer. We know CNC controllers need network access but can’t be exposed to the internet. We’ve managed Mastercam license servers and optimized DNC connections.
We understand that when production stops, you’re losing money every minute. Our response reflects that urgency. Critical production systems get immediate attention — not “we’ll get to it tomorrow.”
Allen’s 25+ years managing mission-critical systems (including 24/7 casino operations where downtime wasn’t an option) means we bring that same “failure is not an option” mentality to your production floor.
Month-to-month agreements. If we’re not delivering value, you can leave anytime. We earn your business every single month.
We’ll assess your network, workstations, backup systems, and security — no obligation, no jargon, no pressure. Just honest answers about where you stand and what needs attention.
