Technology for the plantscoming back onshore
Re-industrialization is bringing production back to US soil, and every new or modernized plant now runs on one estate: information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) converged from the corporate network down to the machine controller. Disruption Consulting designs and operates the mission critical, high performance and high security architecture that keeps regulated manufacturers running, and defensible.
Standing up plants faster, without cutting corners on security
Whether a plant is being built from the ground up or brought back online after years of underinvestment, the technology has to be ready before the first shift starts. Disruption Consulting stands up the systems a plant needs on day one, and keeps them secure as the plant scales.
Greenfield plant systems
Networking, identity, industrial control systems and enterprise integration designed in from the first blueprint, not bolted on after commissioning.
Reshoring programs
Technology work streams sequenced against a reshoring build schedule, so systems are ready in step with construction, hiring and equipment install.
Brownfield modernization
Legacy plant-floor systems upgraded and segmented without stopping the line, closing the security and integration gaps that accumulate over decades.
Vendor and integrator coordination
A single technical point of coordination across equipment vendors, systems integrators and controls contractors, so accountability does not fall between them.
IT and OT, one estate
Information technology and operational technology used to run as separate worlds. On a modern plant floor they are one estate, and treating them separately is what creates risk.
Plant-floor networking and segmentation
Industrial networks designed and segmented so a fault or an intrusion on one line cannot reach the rest of the plant or the corporate network.
OT security and monitoring
Continuous monitoring purpose-built for industrial control systems and SCADA, tuned to plant-floor protocols rather than adapted from office IT tooling.
MES/ERP integration and data platforms
Manufacturing execution systems connected cleanly to ERP and enterprise data platforms, so production, planning and finance work from the same numbers.
Remote access for vendors done safely
Equipment vendors and integrators get the access they need to support their systems, through brokered, audited sessions instead of standing plant-floor credentials.
High performance data platforms
A plant generates data every second it runs. High performance data platforms turn that stream into decisions the plant floor, the supply chain and the business can act on.
Real-time telemetry
Machine and sensor data captured and streamed in real time, giving operations visibility into the plant floor as it runs, not after a shift report.
Quality and yield analytics
Production and quality data analyzed together to find yield loss and defect patterns earlier, and to make the case for the fix with evidence.
Supply chain systems integration
Plant systems connected to supplier and logistics platforms, so material shortages and delivery risk surface before they stop the line.
CMMC compliance for defense manufacturers
Manufacturers in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements to work with the Department of Defense. Disruption Consulting provides technical implementation services, aligned to CMMC and NIST SP 800-171, to help regulated manufacturers prepare for and pass a third-party assessment.
Understanding CMMC requirements
Level 1
Basic cyber hygiene practices for safeguarding Federal Contract Information (FCI).
Level 2
Intermediate practices aligned with NIST SP 800-171 for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Level 3
Advanced practices to protect against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) targeting CUI.
