The Cost of Poor IT in Machine Shops
Machine shops serving aerospace, defense, and critical manufacturing face severe risks if their IT systems fail or do not meet compliance standards.
-
Production Downtime Server failures or network issues can halt CNC machines, delay projects, and cause missed delivery deadlines.
Contract Loss from Compliance Failures Without CMMC or NIST 800-171 compliance, your shop risks failing audits, losing DoD-related contracts, and missing future opportunities.
Cybersecurity Breaches Weak cybersecurity exposes CAD files, controlled technical data, and customer information to cyber threats, risking IP theft and contract violations.
Inefficient Operations Slow networks, unreliable file sharing, and lack of IT strategy lead to bottlenecks, reducing your shop's productivity and competitiveness.
