Challenge
Production equipment from multiple vendors doesn't communicate with modern systems
Solution
IoT sensor deployment and middleware connects legacy equipment to cloud platforms—no need to replace functional machinery
MES, IIoT, and OT Cybersecurity
PSI helps manufacturers modernize production systems, improve operational visibility, and reduce IT costs without disrupting operations.
he Manufacturing Technology Gap Manufacturing companies today face a critical choice: modernize operations or fall behind digitally mature competitors. Legacy systems limit production efficiency. Supply chains lack real-time visibility. Finding skilled workers who can operate advanced systems remains challenging. The path forward is clear, but obstacles are real: high upfront costs, unclear ROI, integration challenges with existing equipment, and cybersecurity concerns about cloud-connected operations. PSI has helped manufacturers navigate these challenges for over two decades.
