Can you work with our older machines?

Usually, yes. Many older machines can be fitted with add-on sensors without touching their controls. Where a machine cannot be changed, we protect it by isolating it on the network instead.

Will this interrupt production?

We plan installs around your shifts and shutdowns, and agree each change with your maintenance or operations lead before it happens.

Do you replace our automation integrator?

No. Your integrator still owns the machine programming. We handle the network, security, remote access and monitoring around it, and work alongside them.

What standards do you work to?

We follow the Australian Cyber Security Centre principles for operational technology, and the AS IEC 62443 series where a site needs a formal standard.

Do you work outside Brisbane?

Yes. We have people and partners in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Albury for site work, and monitor and support sites remotely anywhere in Australia.

Factory and plant technology

Know a machine is failing before it stops the line.

Unplanned downtime, machines on the same network as office laptops, suppliers logging in remotely with a shared password. Most plant technology was connected without anyone owning it.

We add monitoring to the machines that matter, separate the plant from the office, and look after it.

What changes

Fewer surprises on the floor.

Warnings before breakdowns

Sensors on key machines watch temperature, vibration and pressure, and alert your team when a reading drifts, so a bearing gets replaced before the line stops.

Plant gear kept off the office network

Machines, controllers, cameras and sensors sit on their own network, so an infected laptop in the office cannot reach the factory floor.

A list of everything connected

We find and document every connected device on site, including the old ones nobody remembers installing.

Safe remote access for vendors

Equipment suppliers get access only when needed, only to their own machine, and every session is logged.

One team to call

When a sensor drops out or a connection to the plant fails, we own it until it is fixed, working with your maintenance team.

What happens

Planned around your production.

01
Walk the site
We look at your critical equipment, what is connected today and where the risks are.
02
Plan
A written plan covering sensors, network changes and remote access, priced before you commit.
03
Install
Done around your production schedule, tested with your maintenance team.
04
Look after it
Monitoring, updates and changes handled from then on.

Why it matters

Safety comes first when plant is connected.

6 principles

the Australian Cyber Security Centre sets out for operational technology, starting with safety being paramount and knowing your business. We build plant networks around them.
