Ageing Infrastructure challenges Image

A major steel manufacturer faced frequent network disruptions due to heavy vehicle movement, plant expansion, and outdated systems. There was an urgent need to modernize their infrastructure to support growth and defend against rising cyber threats.

Challenges

The company needed centralized visibility and control across multiple production sites with hundreds of industrial assets.

Key issues included:

  • Poor asset visibility across production environments.
  • Ageing infrastructure dependent on outdated technologies.

Rising concerns around cybersecurity threats.

The Solution

We hosted workshops with stakeholders to understand pain points and propose targeted solutions:

  • Identified critical assets and detected existing anomalies.
  • Upgraded physical connectivity layers to support modern demands.
  • Deployed active network components for better performance and security.
  • Designed a new network architecture suited to industrial needs.

Established a 24x7 Network Operations Centre (NOC) for continuous monitoring.

Outcomes

The company gained:

  • Clear visibility into infrastructure gaps.
  • Awareness of modern technology and security best practices.
  • A tailored action plan to close security and performance gaps.

The upgraded network now supports business growth and defends better against evolving cyber threats.
