Charlotte area manufacturers make trucks, turbines, steel, aerospace parts, race cars and food across both Carolinas. With ITServices.Tech, Charlotte manufacturers have one managed IT partner for support, cybersecurity, backups and planning.
Industry around the Queen City
Daimler Truck builds Freightliner trucks at plants in Mount Holly and Cleveland, Siemens Energy makes gas turbine components in Charlotte, Nucor and Honeywell are headquartered here and Collins Aerospace runs its business from the city. North of town, Mooresville and Concord form the center of NASCAR engineering, and food, packaging and textile plants line Interstate 85 into Gaston County and South Carolina.
Race shop engineering
Motorsports teams and suppliers around Mooresville and Concord design, machine and test parts on tight weekly cycles. CAD and simulation files, CNC programs and test data are competitive secrets. Controlled access to engineering folders, encrypted laptops for staff who travel to the track and fast, reliable backups protect them.
Aerospace and defense suppliers
Machine shops and electronics firms supplying aerospace primes receive drawings with CUI markings and DFARS clauses. That brings NIST SP 800-171, an SPRS score and CMMC planning. We find where that data goes, separate it from general files and build the evidence.
Plants in two states
Companies with plants on both sides of the state line deal with two sets of breach notice laws and sometimes two internet markets. We standardize networks, accounts and backups across sites so the IT is consistent wherever the plant sits.
Storms and ice
Helene’s remnants in 2024 and occasional ice storms have knocked out power across the region. Battery backup with clean shutdown, a second internet path and copies of ERP and engineering data stored off site shorten recovery.
IT services for Charlotte manufacturers
- Support for the shop-floor network and machine PCs
- Server, backups and user access for your ERP
- Office and shop-floor networks kept separate and secure
- CMMC preparation for defense suppliers
Everything runs under one managed IT agreement, with the help desk, monitoring, patching, Microsoft 365, security and backups handled by the same team.
Software we support
We support the systems you already run, such as Epicor, JobBOSS, SAP Business One and Microsoft Dynamics, along with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Mastercam and label software like BarTender, without making you replace them. PLC and controller programming stays with your machine vendor or integrator.
Security and compliance
We help defense suppliers prepare for CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 (NIST SP 800-171) with a gap review, policies and security controls. The formal assessment is done by an outside assessor (C3PAO).
North Carolina’s Identity Theft Protection Act, N.C.G.S. 75-65, requires notice to affected people without unreasonable delay, and to the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General’s office whenever residents are notified.
