Fractional CTO for Manufacturing & industrial

Senior technology leadership on a fraction of a full-time hire — strategy, architecture, and a team that ships.

Why it matters in manufacturing & industrial

Production can't simply be rebooted. Downtime is measured in lost output, and the attack surface now spans both the factory floor and the back office.

  • OT/IT convergence: connecting plant and ERP without exposing safety-critical systems
  • Ransomware resilience where an outage stops the line, not just the email
  • Supply-chain and supplier security across a long, often analogue, chain
  • Modernising decades-old systems that can't be patched on a normal cadence

What you get

  • Technology strategy and a costed, sequenced roadmap tied to business goals
  • Architecture and platform decisions, with the trade-offs written down
  • Engineering leadership: hiring, structure, delivery cadence, and standards
  • Vendor, cloud, and AI tooling selection — and the contracts to match
  • A board- and investor-ready narrative for what you're building and why

How we work in manufacturing & industrial

We segment and secure the boundary between OT and IT, plan for the outage you hope never happens, and make pragmatic calls about what to modernise, isolate, or replace.
