The pressure on manufacturing IT has never been greater.

Manufacturing IT teams face mounting pressure: aging OT infrastructure, converging IT/OT environments introducing new cyber risk, inconsistent network performance across plant floors, and manual processes slowing production. Meanwhile, Industry 4.0 demands, IoT deployments, rising ransomware threats, and board-level pressure to digitize are stretching teams past their limits.  

 

Build a technology foundation for better outcomes

A unified platform built for manufacturing complexity at scale.

CBTS delivers a unified manufacturing cloud and edge solution built on best-in-class technologies. With centralized management, secure IT/OT convergence, and flexible as-a-service models, manufacturers gain a simplified, scalable, and future-ready platform. It helps to reduce operational strain, accelerate technology deployments, and create the data and network foundation needed for IoT, predictive analytics, and next-generation smart manufacturing capabilities.

 Complete AI lifecycle partnership

CBTS supports the full AI journey — strategy, advisory, deployment, scaling, and 24×7 managed operations. We meet you where you are and stay with you at every stage. 

CBTS_IconSet_Green (6)

 Infrastructure mastery 

 The compute, network, and storage foundations AI demands aren’t theoretical for us. Three decades of enterprise infrastructure experience means we’ve already solved the problems most organizations are about to encounter.

 Security by design 

 We integrate AI-specific security capabilities from day one — eliminating the primary concern that keeps most organizations from deeper AI adoption.

 Battle-tested at enterprise scale 

 You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget. 

Six ways we help manufacturing enterprises build stronger foundations

AI & Data

AI & Data

Predict problems, optimize yield, and act on insights across facilities.


Disconnected systems prevent manufacturers from acting on the insights that drive efficiency. We unify and govern manufacturing data to enable trusted analytics, predictive maintenance, and AI-driven decision-making across the enterprise.

Applications

Applications

Achieve faster production, fewer bottlenecks, and less friction.


Legacy applications slow production and frustrate the workforce. We modernize manufacturing technology with intuitive collaboration tools and modern applications, including ERP/MES integration, that reduce friction for operators and plant managers alike.

Cloud Solutions

Cloud Solutions

Always-on infrastructure scales with your facilities.


We deliver hybrid cloud strategy and migration services that support always-on manufacturing operations, enabling scalable, secure infrastructure that connects plant floors, distribution centers, and headquarters with consistency and reliability.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

Keep production lines running and critical systems protected.


Manufacturing environments are prime ransomware targets. We protect converged industrial operations with security architectures built for the plant floor, reducing risk, meeting regulatory obligations (such as NIST and CMMC), and maintaining uptime across every facility.

Digital Workplace

Digital Workplace

Support productive workers and seamless collaboration.


Disconnected tools and unreliable connectivity slow production. We modernize the manufacturing workforce experience with reliable plant-floor Wi-Fi, UCaaS/CCaaS collaboration tools, and identity and access management for frontline and corporate employees.

Networking & Infrastructure

Networking & Infrastructure

Eliminate network gaps so every plant, line, and system performs at full capacity.


Legacy WAN and aging plant-floor networks are a drag on performance and agility. We transform manufacturing infrastructure, including LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, private 5G, into high-performance, always-on environments that support consistent operations across facilities.

Frequently asked questions

How does CBTS approach IT/OT security in manufacturing environments?

CBTS designs security architectures purpose-built for converged industrial environments — addressing SCADA systems, PLCs, cloud-connected supply chain integrations, and remote access points. Our approach aligns to regulatory frameworks including NIST, ISA/IEC 62443, and CMMC, ensuring manufacturers reduce risk, maintain compliance, and protect uptime across every facility. 
Can CBTS support manufacturers with multiple facilities across different geographies?

Yes. CBTS is purpose-built for multi-site manufacturing complexity. We standardize infrastructure, centralize management, and deliver managed services across dozens to hundreds of facilities — providing consistent performance, visibility, and security regardless of geography, plant architecture, or franchise model.
What does CBTS's as-a-service model mean for manufacturing IT budgets?

CBTS's as-a-service models replace unpredictable capital expenditures with predictable operating costs — making it easier to plan, scale, and budget across facilities. Manufacturers gain enterprise-grade infrastructure and managed services without the overhead of building and maintaining those capabilities in-house.
How does CBTS help manufacturers prepare for AI and smart factory initiatives?

CBTS establishes the secure, unified data and network foundation that AI and smart factory technologies require. By integrating ERP, MES, SCADA, and IIoT data streams into a governed architecture, we enable manufacturers to deploy predictive maintenance, quality analytics, and AI-driven decision-making with confidence and speed.
How quickly can CBTS deploy solutions across a manufacturing environment?

Deployment timelines vary based on scope and environment complexity, but CBTS's standardized delivery frameworks and 300+ technology partners accelerate rollouts significantly. Our senior delivery teams manage execution from strategy through sustained operations — minimizing disruption to production and ensuring no gaps between design and day-to-day management.
