WME for Manufacturing
Manufacturing organizations face increasing pressure from cybersecurity threats, complex OT and IT environments, aging infrastructure, and the need for real time data across production lines. With global supply chain demands and workforce pressures continuing to rise, operational resilience has become essential.
WME provides the strategy, engineering capability, and operational support manufacturers need to secure production environments, modernize cloud workloads, and automate processes at scale.
Challenges in the Manufacturing Sector
OT and IT systems operating in isolation
Production systems, plant floor devices, ERP platforms, and cloud workloads often lack unified governance.
Limited real time visibility and analytics
Fragmented data across production, quality, and supply chain workflows slows operational decision making.
Rising cyber threats targeting operational technology
Manufacturing remains one of the highest risk sectors for ransomware, supply chain attacks, and lateral movement into OT environments.
Legacy equipment slowing digital transformation
Older control systems and outdated infrastructure restrict cloud, automation, and IoT initiatives.
Talent shortages in automation and systems engineering
Manufacturers struggle to find specialized talent for OT security, cloud, and workflow modernization.
