Connect production without exposing the entire business.
PeachByte designs and supports networks that keep machinery, production computers, vendors, office users, servers, and cloud services connected, with sensible separation between them.
One flat network means one problem can reach everything.
When the office computers, the production machines, and vendor remote access all sit on the same flat network, a single infected laptop or an open vendor connection can reach the machines that keep the floor running. Separating the office and production sides is what keeps a small problem small.
What goes wrong
- • Office computers, machines, and vendor access all share one flat network
- • A single infected laptop can reach the production equipment
- • Vendor remote connections are always on and nobody is watching them
- • Wi-Fi drops in the parts of the plant where it matters most
- • Nobody has a current map of what is connected to the network
- • There is no plan to contain ransomware if it gets in

What we design and support.
The network that keeps production connected and contained, without getting in your team's way.
Network separation
We separate the office and production networks, so a problem on one side cannot freely reach the other.
Secure vendor remote access
Machinery vendors get the access they need through connections you can see, log, and switch off, instead of an always-on door.
Industrial Wi-Fi
Coverage designed for a plant floor, not an office, so machines and handhelds stay connected where the work happens.
Managed switches and firewalls
Business-grade switching and firewalls, configured and monitored, sized to how your plant actually runs.
Network documentation
A current map of devices, connections, and access, so nobody is guessing during an outage.
Failover and containment
Internet failover, so an internet service provider (ISP) outage does not stop the floor, plus a plan to contain ransomware if it gets in.
How the pieces fit together.

A few things owners usually ask.
Do we have to replace all our network equipment?
Not usually. We start by mapping what you have, then improve the parts that matter most: separation between office and production, vendor access, and any gear that is failing or no longer supported.
Can vendors still get in when they need to?
Yes. They get secure, logged access that you control, instead of an always-on door nobody is watching. You decide who gets in and when.
What does separating the networks change day to day?
Your team notices very little. What changes is that a problem on the office side cannot wander onto the production floor, and a problem on the floor cannot reach the office.
