Manufacturing IT/OT
Industrial Automation & Digitization
The Information Technology (IT) systems employed by enterprises and organizations are increasingly merging with the Operational Technology (OT) utilized in manufacturing and processing facilities. This IT/OT Convergence is altering the requirements that plant engineers and technicians must fulfill to keep their facilities operational.
D&T Process Optimization recognizes this challenge. With decades of experience in designing and implementing secure, advanced Industrial Automation Control Systems (IACS), we ensure the safety of your entire manufacturing operation and safeguard your intellectual property. Get in touch with one of our experts today to learn more.
Comprehensive System Design
Whether you operate a brownfield facility with an existing control system or are starting anew, D&T Process Optimization appreciates the significance of the bigger picture. We will customize a solution that achieves your objectives, taking into account various factors such as control system technology, data and information flow requirements, maintenance, scalability, and cost.
Industrial Networking
We understand that your clients’ evolving demands impact your process control networks daily. Enterprise strategists require data for making business decisions. OEM skids must communicate with other control system aspects. New exploits constantly expose process control networks to security risks. Legacy equipment necessitates upgrades. Our team is adept at identifying vulnerabilities, devising mitigation strategies, adding and upgrading devices, and implementing cutting-edge network infrastructure for you.
Virtualization
As computer demands increase and legacy equipment ages, the costs of operating and maintaining computers and infrastructure rise over time. Virtualization can help manage these expenses and create a straightforward path for scaling your operation. Virtualization software enables multiple instances of computer operating systems to run on a single physical computer. Combining multiple hosts and storage networks can result in a powerful control system that achieves more while consuming less energy and minimizing downtime.
Operational Technology
IT/OT Convergence is causing control systems to face many challenges that were once exclusive to the IT realm. Managing software licensing, establishing secure remote access, configuring antivirus, installing operating system patches, and devising Disaster Recovery plans have become commonplace. D&T Process Optimization’s experts possess extensive knowledge of these modern control systems’ intricacies. We will assist you in creating a plan to operate and maintain your control system investment.
Standards and Documentation Development
You may lack detailed documentation on the IACS networks and equipment installed at your facility. Our experts can audit your network switches, cables, and terminations, your servers and data infrastructure, create system diagrams, assess gaps in your network and cybersecurity, and more. We will collaborate with you to develop a roadmap for achieving your business objectives.
Project Technology Experience
D&T Process Optimization’s projects encompass numerous industries and vendor technologies. Recent projects have utilized technology from Microsoft, VMware, Cisco, NetApp, Stratus, Dell, DP, Nutanix, Rockwell, Wonderware, GE, Inductive Automation, and more. Whether recommending a new technology or working with your preferred vendor and system, we leverage our vast experience to provide the optimal solution for you.
