The more that IT, OT
and IIoT converge, the more
your facility benefits from
our expertise in all three.
It wasn’t all that many years ago when the worlds of Information Technology and Operational Technology were like different planets. And the world of the Industrial Internet of Things didn’t even exist.
That’s all ancient history.
Today, the convergence of IT, OT and IIoT can enable facilities to perform at ever-improving efficiency while enhancing security. Which can mean higher profitability.
All the more reason to turn to 4S, where the convergence our IT, OT and IIoT knowledge and expertise work to your full advantage.
NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Our Networking Infrastructure OT knowledge
and ISA Certification can optimize your
network’s performance while
minimizing your operating costs.
Nothing is more critical to your facility’s operations than the smooth functioning of your network infrastructure. If it fails, problems can cascade and multiply, threatening your entire operation. And your profits.
But 4S can provide a much more positive outcome. Our solid reputation as leading specialists in the integration of disparate systems and networks was gained by racking up years of in-depth experience.
We know, first hand, what will work and, equally vital to know, what won’t work. So you can be confident that with our OT knowledge and integration expertise, your plant’s performance can be optimized, your costs minimized, and your profits maximized.
DESIGN ENGINEERING
There is only one right time to identify and resolve
mis-configurations of networking architecture:
Before implementation at the site.
Another reason why 4S Design
Engineering is the right choice.
Today’s ever more complex facilities demand that IT and OT work together — with IT systems identifying issues that help OT systems deliver greater production efficiencies.
So now more than ever, the 4S Design Engineering Team is helping to turn the IT/OT convergence into higher profits for our clients.
MESH WIRELESS
4S Mesh Wireless design engineering expertise
gives you the competitive edge by using
4.0 Technologies that enhance your production.
And your bottom line.
Industrial IoT is rapidly and profoundly improving plant productivity,
safety and efficiency, which all contribute to higher profits. Mesh Wireless capabilities coupled with our design engineering expertise in this advanced technology enable facilities to take full advantage of a wide range of advances available today.
And arriving tomorrow.
DATA EXCHANGE
How are forward thinking companies handling
the growing amount and complexity of data
generated by IT and OT convergence?
The simple answer:
4S Data Management Services.
As industries become more competitive and capital intensive, another complication is arriving: the convergence of IT and OT. Which means accumulating and contextualizing data has become an even more critical function.
This is why a growing number of forward thinking companies have turned to 4S to implement and oversee their data exchange operations. Which may be another reason why, as complexity grows, the simple answer is 4S.
LORAWAN M2M AND INDUSTRIAL IOT
Impressive cost-savings are just the beginning
of the benefits of using LoRaWAN and
IIoT technologies that 4S supplies.
Controlling capital expenditures is one of your greatest challenges, especially in this highly competitive and evolving industry.
Enter LoRaWAN and IIoT, which can provide substantial savings by providing an inexpensive but extraordinarily reliable method to both monitor and to manage your infrastructure, as well as other aspects of plant production.
4S is highly experienced with low-cost, low-power wide area networks, as well as the latest IIoT technologies. So we can help integrate them into your existing facility, ones being built, and those in the planning stages.
BACKUP SOLUTIONS
Data loss and downtime are not
an option in in this competitive environment.
That’s why companies opt for our
Backup and Recovery Solutions expertise.
And the peace of mind it provides.
Now more than ever, the reliable availability and rapid recovery of the mounds of data generated by IT and OT processes and applications is crucial to an organization. Even the shortest downtime can devastate output, and profits.
Fortunately, the robust, tailored and dependable Backup and Recovery Solutions 4S provides are helping facilities like yours to keep producing product, and revenue. While providing you with peace of mind.
NETWORK PERFORMANCE MONITORING
Network performance monitoring routinely
checks, evaluates, analyzes and reports
on a network’s performance.
So it can help the performance
of your bottom line.
Control system networks are critical to a production facility’s operation. And critical to the continuing operation of these networks is the reliable, accurate monitoring both of the many devices attached to them, and of the networks hosting them.
Our network performance monitoring serves as a vital component in the preventative maintenance needed to mitigate the danger of downtime by predicting when and where actual issues are occurring, as well as identifying potential issues before they have the opportunity to become real — and costly — issues.
