Manufacturing IT Services
Texas manufacturing has its own IT discipline — IT/OT segmentation, OT-aware cybersecurity that does not break production, deep ERP expertise across SAP/Dynamics/NetSuite/Plex/Epicor, multi-site connectivity that keeps multiple plants operational, hurricane-aware business continuity along the Gulf Coast, and (for the defense supply chain across Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, and Bay Area Houston) CMMC 2.0 compliance. LayerLogix delivers managed IT and cybersecurity for Texas manufacturers without the $500K specialist consultancy bill. We bring deep IT and security capability for the business side, real OT awareness on the operations side, and the engineering judgment to know which systems we should not touch.
What We Offer
Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses
IT/OT Segmentation
Plant-floor cybersecurity starts with proper IT/OT segmentation. We design and operate the segmentation between your enterprise IT environment (ERP, email, file shares) and your OT environment (PLCs, SCADA, HMI, robotics, MES, historians) using ISA/IEC 62443 zone-and-conduit principles. Privileged Access Management (PAM) enforces the boundary; jump hosts mediate every cross-zone interaction.
OT-Aware Cybersecurity
OT environments cannot tolerate the same security controls as IT — agent-based EDR, aggressive patching, and active scanning can take down production. We deploy OT-aware monitoring (passive network sensors, asset discovery, anomaly detection) that protects without disrupting. We work with the legacy systems Texas plants actually run: Rockwell, Siemens, GE Proficy, Honeywell, Wonderware, OSIsoft PI.
ERP Implementation & Support
Deep expertise with the ERP platforms manufacturing actually runs: SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Plex, Epicor, Infor, Sage 100/300/X3, and ProcessPro. We handle implementation, integration with shop floor systems, security hardening, and the day-to-day support that keeps the business running.
CMMC for Defense Suppliers
Manufacturers in the DoD supply chain — particularly across Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, and Bay Area Houston — are now in scope of CMMC 2.0. We deliver CMMC-aligned managed services, NIST 800-171 control implementation, SSP authoring, and DIBCAC pre-assessment for Texas defense suppliers, with PAM as the foundational control that satisfies multiple CMMC practices simultaneously.
Multi-Site Connectivity
Multi-plant manufacturing requires reliable connectivity across geographically diverse sites — often including remote facilities with limited ISP options. We design SD-WAN architectures with cellular failover, secure site-to-site VPN, and centralized monitoring so headquarters has visibility into every facility.
Hurricane & Disaster Recovery
Texas manufacturing operations need hurricane-aware business continuity planning — particularly along the Gulf Coast. Documented RTO/RPO targets, immutable backup with NinjaRMM/Dropsuite, geographically diverse failover, and tested annual tabletop exercises that include OT recovery scenarios.
Why Choose LayerLogix?
Serving businesses throughout the Greater Houston area including Houston, The Woodlands, Conroe, Sugar Land, Clear Lake, Beaumont, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, Midland.
Stop Ransomware Before It Reaches the Plant Floor
Ransomware that pivots from IT to OT is the operational nightmare scenario for manufacturers. Privileged Access Management (PAM) blocks ransomware on the IT side; rigorous segmentation and OT-aware monitoring catch anything that tries to cross. We deploy both.
Production Uptime
Production downtime is measured in dollars per minute for most manufacturers. Proactive monitoring across IT and selected OT environments, redundant connectivity, tested failover, and 24/7 incident response keep operations moving.
CMMC Without a $500K Consulting Bill
Defense supply chain CMMC consulting from boutique RPOs runs $200K-$500K+ for a Level 2 engagement. We deliver CMMC-aligned managed services with the same control coverage at SMB pricing — and with PAM, MFA, and FIPS-validated encryption already built into the managed services baseline.
ERP That Actually Works
Manufacturing ERP is where most generic MSPs fail — they have never deployed Plex or Epicor and they cannot tune SAP. We have. The integration between ERP, MES, shop floor systems, EDI, and customer portals is the work that determines whether your operations actually run.
A Single Throat to Choke
When IT, OT, ERP, and connectivity are split across four vendors, every issue becomes a finger-pointing exercise. We unify them — with the engineering judgment to know which problems we own and which require a vendor specialist (and we manage that relationship for you).
