Manufacturers and construction firms across the Greater Rochester area run on industrial systems — production-floor PCs, machine controllers, ERP systems, jobsite mobile devices — that traditional managed service providers often don't understand. Hurricane Technologies provides industrial IT support for manufacturers and construction firms in Rochester, NY and the surrounding region.
Industrial IT realities we work with
- OT/SCADA (operational technology) networks segmented from IT — production keeps running even when the office network is down
- Legacy software that has to keep working (we've all seen the Windows 7 PC running the CNC)
- ERP systems that are mission-critical and require careful change management
- Field connectivity for construction jobsites — cellular failover, jobsite Wi-Fi, mobile device management
- Documentation that satisfies defense contractor requirements when applicable
Defense supply chain compliance
If your manufacturing firm sells to defense primes or directly to the DoD, you're likely in scope for NIST 800-171 and the developing CMMC certification requirements — plus ITAR/EAR export controls if you handle controlled technical data. We help defense suppliers in the Rochester area align to these frameworks.
How Hurricane helps
Manufacturing engagements combine managed IT, NIST framework alignment (for defense suppliers), and policy documentation.
