Keep the floor running.
Keep the data secure.
Manufacturers run on uptime, and increasingly on connected systems that widen the attack surface. For 20 years IPC has helped Michigan manufacturers keep production systems running, protect intellectual property, and modernize aging infrastructure, fully managed or right alongside your team.
A 30-minute conversation with an IPC expert, no obligation. We review your environment, uptime, and security posture and give you an honest read on what to fix first.
A structured professional engagement that follows the Clarity Conversation. We validate the findings, map every gap and risk, and build a prioritized roadmap you can act on.
What keeps production moving
Uptime, security, and modern systems, all at once, with the whole floor depending on them.
Downtime means lost production and missed orders. We keep the systems behind operations monitored, patched, and recoverable, with a real plan for the day something fails.
Designs, processes, and customer data are worth stealing, and connected equipment widens the attack surface. We secure IT and operational technology with monitoring and segmentation built for the plant.
Legacy servers and networks limit what the business can do. We modernize infrastructure, connect the floor safely, and document it so growth doesn't outrun your technology.
The gaps we close for manufacturers
Most manufacturers come to us carrying some version of these three. We take them off your plate.
A clear path for your plant's technology
The same structured methodology IPC applies across every engagement, brought to your operation. You always know where you stand and what comes next.
We review your IT and operational technology, uptime risks, and security gaps, and give you an honest picture of where your operation stands.
You get a prioritized roadmap and a managed-services plan scoped to your floor, your growth plans, and the security your customers expect. We guide every step.
We run and monitor your environment, keep production systems available and secure, and modernize on a plan that fits your business.
We secure the systems your floor depends on
As factories connect more systems, IT and operational technology converge, and so does the risk. We secure both, and protect the intellectual property that sets you apart.
We secure connected equipment and business systems together, with segmentation and monitoring built for a plant environment.
Access controls and monitoring around the designs, processes, and data that give you your edge.
If you supply the defense industrial base, we bring CMMC and NIST 800-171 expertise most IT providers cannot.
Everything documented and explained plainly, so you are ready when a customer or auditor asks.

Why manufacturers choose IPC
Two decades keeping business-critical systems available. We understand that on a plant floor, downtime is lost production, not just an inconvenience.
As the floor connects, IT and operational technology converge. We protect both with segmentation and monitoring, from experience, not from a template.
Run IT entirely or extend your existing team with depth they can't staff alone. Same standard of care either way.
We modernize aging infrastructure on a roadmap that fits your budget and growth, so technology never holds the business back.
Not PE-backed, not chasing an exit. Every decision is driven by what is right for your business. That is why our retention rate is 98%.
You reach experienced engineers who already know your environment, not a script-reading queue. Every escalation reaches someone who can actually fix it.
