Technology That Powers Production
OT/IT convergence, SCADA security, and ERP integration for manufacturers who need their production lines running, their IP protected, and their supply chains connected.
Production Stops When Technology Fails
In manufacturing, a network outage does not just slow down email -- it shuts down production lines, halts supply chains, and costs tens of thousands of dollars per hour. A breach does not just expose data -- it risks intellectual property, trade secrets, and the operational technology that controls physical processes.
ComDirect USA understands the convergence of IT and OT. We build infrastructure that bridges the gap between the factory floor and the front office -- securing SCADA systems, integrating ERP platforms, and enabling Industry 4.0 initiatives without introducing new attack surfaces.

Six Core Services, Production-Grade
Every service we offer is engineered for the convergence of IT and operational technology in modern manufacturing.
Strategic Advisory
Industry 4.0 readiness assessments, OT/IT convergence roadmaps, and digital transformation strategy for manufacturers moving from legacy systems to smart factory architectures.
Cloud Architecture
Hybrid cloud environments connecting plant-floor systems to enterprise platforms. Edge computing for real-time quality control, predictive maintenance analytics, and supply chain visibility.
Cybersecurity
OT-aware threat detection, SCADA and ICS security, network segmentation between IT and OT environments, and incident response plans that account for physical process safety.
Network Infrastructure
Industrial-grade networking with deterministic latency for real-time control systems. Ruggedized hardware for plant environments, redundant paths for critical control loops, and IoT device management.
Managed Services
24/7 monitoring covering both IT and OT systems. Coordinated patch management that respects production schedules, change control processes for regulated environments, and rapid response for line-down emergencies.
VoIP Solutions
Communications systems designed for noisy plant environments -- push-to-talk, overhead paging integration, emergency notification systems, and mobile connectivity for floor supervisors.
Built for Manufacturing Complexity
OT/IT Convergence & Security
Purpose-built network architectures that connect operational technology to enterprise IT without exposing control systems to internet-facing threats. Purdue Model-aligned segmentation, industrial firewalls, and protocol-aware monitoring for Modbus, EtherNet/IP, and OPC UA.
ERP & MES Integration
Seamless connectivity between the shop floor and business systems -- SAP, Oracle, Epicor, and custom MES platforms. Real-time production data flowing to enterprise dashboards with the reliability and latency that manufacturing demands.
Smart Factory & IoT
Infrastructure for connected sensors, predictive maintenance systems, and automated quality inspection. Edge computing nodes that process data locally for real-time decisions while feeding analytics platforms in the cloud.
Disaster Recovery for Production
Manufacturing-specific DR with recovery priorities aligned to production criticality. Redundant control systems, offline backup procedures for critical processes, and tested recovery plans that get lines running in minutes, not days.
Your Production Deserves Better IT
