IT services for manufacturing keep the office and the shop floor running as one connected system, so a network fault or a security gap never stops production. Tuminto supports the ERP, the MES, the line-of-business apps, and the operational technology behind your machines, with a local Texas team that monitors around the clock and answers fast.
Manufacturers run two networks that have to work as one. The business side handles ERP, email, quoting, and inventory, while the operational side runs PLCs, SCADA, CNC machines, robotic cells, and the HMIs on the floor. When those worlds drift apart, small problems turn into stopped lines.
Five pressures show up in almost every plant we assess.
Tuminto covers the whole environment, office to shop floor, so nothing falls between vendors. Each service below is delivered by the same accountable team, which is what keeps a factory running instead of trading blame between suppliers.
Around-the-clock monitoring, patching, backup, and maintenance for the servers and apps behind production.

Learn more →Segmented networks that separate shop-floor equipment from office traffic and keep both fast and secure.
Learn more →Real engineers who answer quickly and understand plant and multi-shift environments, remote and on-site.
Learn more →A virtual CIO who plans refreshes, budgets, and OT upgrades around your production calendar.
Learn more →Full outsourcing or a co-managed model that backs up your internal team across sites and shifts.
Learn more →Uptime is the job. Tuminto monitors the servers, databases, and network paths that feed your ERP, MES, and machines, and acts on early warning signs, such as a failing drive or a saturated switch, before they reach the line. Patching follows a schedule that respects production windows rather than a default overnight push that breaks a legacy link at 2am. Tested backups and a written recovery plan mean a hardware failure or a ransomware attempt becomes a restore, not a shutdown.
Operational technology needs a different playbook than office IT. PLCs, SCADA systems, and CNC controllers often run software that cannot be patched, so Tuminto protects them by design rather than by agent. We segment the network so shop-floor equipment sits on its own isolated zone, unreachable from the internet or from ordinary office traffic, which stops an attack from moving laterally into production. Monitoring watches for unusual activity on those zones, and strict access rules limit who and what can talk to a controller. That approach keeps an unpatchable machine from becoming an open door.
Compliance depends on what you make and who you sell to. Defense and aerospace suppliers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information must meet NIST SP 800-171, which the Department of Defense verifies through CMMC, and Level 2 requires all 110 controls across 14 domains for contractors that touch CUI. Manufacturers that take card payments fall under PCI DSS, and many pursue ISO 27001 to satisfy customers and insurers. Tuminto maps the technical controls, such as access control, logging, encryption, and backup, to the framework that applies to you, and documents the evidence so an audit or a CMMC assessment goes smoothly. Segmentation, monitoring, and multi-factor authentication do double duty here, since they harden the plant and satisfy the standards at the same time.
Tuminto is built for businesses that cannot afford to stop. We are a local Texas team, so on-site help reaches your plant fast when hardware needs hands, and remote support resolves most issues sooner. We cover OT and IT together instead of treating the shop floor as someone else's problem, and we give ERP, MES, and every aging line-of-business app a named owner. Pricing is one flat monthly rate set after a short assessment, so IT becomes a budget line you can plan around instead of a series of surprise repair bills.
Cloud and line-of-business systems run the modern plant, so Tuminto keeps them fast, secure, and available. We host or connect ERP and MES platforms such as SAP, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, and JobBOSS, and we manage the Microsoft 365 and Azure environments the office depends on. Moving production schedules, CAD files, and quoting data to a well-secured cloud protects them from a single failed server and lets teams reach the same data from every site and shift. We plan each migration around your production calendar, test the cutover, and keep an on-premise fallback until the new setup proves stable. A named engineer owns the servers, databases, and network paths behind these applications, coordinates updates with your software vendor, and watches performance so an aging system never quietly falls out of sync with the shop floor.
A manufacturer recovers only as fast as its last tested backup, so Tuminto builds backup and disaster recovery around your production reality. We keep both on-site and cloud copies of servers, ERP and MES data, and machine configurations, and we test restores so a backup is proven rather than assumed. A written business continuity plan sets a clear recovery target for each critical system, defines how the plant keeps shipping during an incident, and names who does what when a server, a site, or a supplier goes down. This is the layer that turns a ransomware attempt or a hardware failure into a restore instead of a shutdown, and it doubles as compliance evidence, since standards such as ISO 27001 and CMMC expect documented, working recovery. Regular risk assessments find the weak points, such as a single unbacked-up controller or a flat network, before an event does.
Connected machines make a plant more productive and also widen the attack surface, so smart manufacturing needs security built in from the start. Industrial IoT sensors, edge devices, and real-time monitoring feed the predictive maintenance and quality data that cut unplanned downtime, and each new connection is also a path an attacker can try. Tuminto brings these Industry 4.0 systems online on segmented, monitored networks, applies identity-based access so only approved users and devices reach a controller, and watches traffic for the unusual patterns that signal trouble. We secure the industrial control systems (ICS) and gateways that link sensors to your ERP and MES, and we align that work with recognized OT guidance such as IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82. That approach lets you gain the visibility of a connected factory without handing outsiders a door into production.
Choose a manufacturing IT provider on plant experience, OT depth, response speed, and clear pricing, not on a generic feature list. Ask whether the provider has run OT and IT together in a real plant, how fast it answers when a line stops, whether it supports your specific ERP and MES, and how it prices coverage for users, sites, and shop-floor devices. A provider that only knows office IT will treat a stopped PLC like a slow laptop, which costs you production. Managed IT for manufacturers is usually billed per user per month, with plant and OT coverage scoped on top, so ask for one flat rate after an assessment rather than open-ended hourly bills. Tuminto scopes that rate around your users, sites, devices, and security needs, which turns IT into a predictable line item you can plan a budget around.
Independent 2026 pricing guides put managed IT for a manufacturing company at roughly $125 to $250 per user per month, with security-heavy plans running higher.
Corsica Technologies, 2026 Managed IT Services Pricing GuideManufacturers need proactive monitoring, cybersecurity, helpdesk support, network segmentation, backup and disaster recovery, and support for ERP and MES systems. Tuminto delivers all of these as one managed service so the office and the shop floor stay covered by the same team.
Managed IT reduces downtime by watching servers, networks, and line-of-business software around the clock and fixing early warning signs before a line stops. Tuminto monitors the systems that feed the shop floor, patches on a schedule that respects production windows, and keeps tested backups so a failure does not become lost output.
OT security protects the operational technology that runs production, such as PLCs, SCADA systems, CNC machines, and HMIs, while IT security protects business systems like email, ERP, and file storage. OT devices often run older software that cannot be patched on a normal cycle, so Tuminto protects them mainly through network segmentation and monitoring rather than agents on the machine.
Yes. Tuminto keeps the servers, databases, and network paths behind your ERP and MES healthy, monitored, and backed up, and coordinates with your software vendor on updates. A named owner watches these systems so an aging line-of-business application never becomes a shrug when it breaks.
Yes. Defense and aerospace suppliers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information must meet NIST SP 800-171, which the Department of Defense verifies through CMMC. Tuminto maps the technical controls, such as access control, logging, and encryption, to those requirements and documents the evidence, so your assessment goes smoothly.
Tuminto isolates legacy machines on a segmented network so they cannot be reached from the internet or from ordinary office traffic. Monitoring watches for unusual activity, and strict access rules limit who and what can talk to the controller, which keeps an unpatchable machine from becoming an open door.
Managed IT for manufacturers is usually priced per user per month, with plant and OT coverage scoped on top. Tuminto sets one flat monthly rate after a short assessment of your users, sites, devices, and security needs, which turns IT into a predictable line item instead of surprise repair bills.
Yes. Co-managed IT lets your internal staff keep day-to-day ownership while Tuminto adds after-hours coverage, cybersecurity, multi-site projects, or OT expertise. It is a common fit for manufacturers with one overloaded IT person or a lean team spread across shifts.
Manufacturing IT support covers operational technology, production-line uptime, and legacy machines that office IT never touches. Tuminto secures PLCs, SCADA, and CNC controllers, patches around production windows instead of a default overnight push, and treats a stopped line as an emergency, which a general helpdesk built for laptops and email does not.
Yes. Tuminto migrates ERP, MES, quoting, and CAD data to a secured cloud or hosts it in Microsoft 365 and Azure, plans the cutover around your production calendar, and keeps an on-premise fallback until the new setup is proven. Cloud copies let every site and shift reach the same data and remove the risk of a single failed server.
Tuminto brings Industrial IoT sensors, edge devices, and connected machines online on segmented, monitored networks with identity-based access, so a new connection adds visibility without adding an open door. We secure the industrial control systems that link sensors to your ERP and MES and align the work with OT standards such as IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82.
Tuminto keeps tested on-site and cloud backups of servers, ERP and MES data, and machine configurations, paired with a written business continuity plan that sets recovery targets and names who does what during an incident. Tested restores mean a ransomware attempt or a hardware failure becomes a restore, not a shutdown.
