Manufacturing
Sawdust, CNC routers
and a cut list.
Sawmills, cabinet shops and truss plants run CNC machines fed by files someone exported from an office PC. We keep that chain working, secure the machines on it, and build whatever's missing.

Sound familiar?
The router only cuts what the file tells it
One wrong export and a sheet of hardwood ply becomes scrap.
- CNC programs reach the router on a USB stick, and an old version gets cut about once a month.
- Yield from each log or sheet goes unrecorded, so nobody can say what the offcut pile actually costs.
- Kiln schedules and moisture readings are logged by hand, and one missed reading is a warped batch.
- The PC that drives the router is also the one everybody checks email on at lunch.
- Custom-order quotes depend on one estimator's spreadsheet and their memory of this week's timber prices.
What fits
What we'd set up in a wood shop
Network Management
CNC files sent to the router over the shop network from one approved folder, so the USB stick can retire.
Read moreApplication Development
Yield recorded per sheet and per log against the job, which finally tells you what the scrap pile costs.
Read moreManaged Firewalls & Network Security
The router PC kept off email and the web, because ransomware on that machine stops the cutting.
Read moreAI Agent & Workflow Automation
Kiln readings logged automatically, with an alert when moisture drifts outside the schedule.
Read moreHelpdesk & Tech Support
Help on the floor or down the line when a machine PC won't boot at the start of a shift.
