Manufacturing IT FAQs

1. How do you protect the integrity of our production line during an IT update or migration?


Scheduled downtime is a luxury you can’t always afford. Underdog uses a phased-implementation approach. We perform all non-critical updates and migrations during your off-shifts or low-volume windows. For critical systems, we run a backup environment in parallel so when we implement the changes, your machines and ERP systems stay on track.


2. We use older, legacy machinery. Do we still need specialized IT?


Yes. In fact, legacy systems are often the biggest security risk because they can no longer receive security updates. We specialize in network enclaving. We place your older equipment behind specialized security layers that let them function on your network while keeping them isolated from the Internet and the rest of your office. This lets you extend the life of your expensive machinery without leaving a back door open for hackers.


3. What happens if a machine on the shop floor loses connectivity at 2:00 AM?


Our support doesn’t punch out at 5:00 PM. Underdog provides 24/7 monitoring and help-desk support for our manufacturing clients. Because we utilize network segmentation, we can often isolate a floor-level connectivity issue remotely and fix it before it spreads to your front-office systems. If a physical hardware failure occurs, our local, NEPA-based team is ready to respond, ensuring all remain equally productive.
