Manufacturing IT • Metro Detroit
Your production shouldn't stop because IT did.
Managed IT and cybersecurity for Metro Detroit manufacturers. FringeIT supports the people, systems, networks, and infrastructure your operation depends on.
Built around how manufacturers actually run.
Office users, engineering workstations, shared production PCs, servers, wireless networks, and vendors all have different requirements. We're structured around that reality.
Production Uptime
Keep business systems, networks, and workstations available so technology doesn’t become the reason production stops.
Office + Shop-Floor Environments
Support office users, engineering workstations, and production-area systems that each have different requirements.
Shared Production Workstations
Shipping stations, production terminals, and shared PCs that don’t fit a traditional one-user-per-machine office.
Cybersecurity & Ransomware Protection
Managed endpoint security, patching, identity protection, and email security, with stronger controls as requirements grow.
Network Segmentation
Separate office and production traffic with business-grade switching and firewalls for a more resilient environment.
Industrial Wi-Fi
Reliable wireless coverage and monitoring across office, warehouse, and production areas.
Servers
Monitoring, maintenance, and lifecycle planning for the servers your operation depends on.
Microsoft 365
Tenant administration, user and access management, and email and identity security.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backup monitoring and management with disaster-recovery planning scoped to your environment.
Vendor Coordination
We work with software, internet, equipment, ERP, and phone vendors so your team isn’t stuck coordinating everyone.
Multi-Location Businesses
Consistent support, monitoring, and security across more than one building or facility.
Operational technology such as CNC controllers, PLCs, robotics, and SCADA systems is scoped separately. FringeIT can manage and secure the surrounding IT and network environment without assuming uncontrolled responsibility for specialized production equipment.
Coverage when it matters
Support hours built around production, not just 9-to-5.
Shifts don't always end at 5 PM, and a network or server outage mid-run is a different kind of problem. Standard and Secure extend beyond standard business hours, and Secure adds around-the-clock response for qualifying Critical incidents.
Essentials
Mon–Fri, 8 AM–5 PM ET
Remote support during standard business hours.
Standard
Mon–Fri, 7 AM–7 PM ET · Sat, 8 AM–Noon ET
Extended hours with a 1-hour Critical response target. Saturday coverage is remote-first.
Secure
Extended hours + 24/7 Critical response
Around-the-clock response for qualifying Critical incidents, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Response targets describe when a technician begins working an issue, not a guaranteed resolution time. Specific service levels apply under a signed service agreement.
Common signs you've outgrown your current IT setup.
If a few of these sound familiar, it's probably time for a real IT team.
- The owner or office manager has become unofficial IT.
- One employee knows all the passwords.
- IT support only appears after something breaks.
- Nobody is sure whether backups actually restore.
- Production and office networks have grown organically.
- Old equipment stays in service because nobody owns the replacement plan.
- Employees wait too long for support.
- Cyber-insurance questionnaires are becoming difficult to answer.
