Manufacturing
Keep manufacturing data. Shut down outdated production systems
Archive production and engineering data to eliminate legacy system costs, reduce operational and cyber risk, and maintain full traceability for compliance, audits, and product liability across long manufacturing lifecycles.
The Challenge
Operational systems holding long-term manufacturing data unnecessarily
- Legacy ERP and MES systems driving ongoing costs
- Disconnected data across plants and production systems
- Slow access to historical production and quality records
- Increased cyber risk in aging environments
Solutions
Archive plant data and retire legacy operational systems
- Archive ERP, MES, and PLM data with integrity intact
- Retire systems without impacting production continuity
- Enable fast search across engineering and quality records
- Deploy across IT and OT environments securely
Use Cases
Preserve manufacturing history without running legacy systems
- Retire MES systems from closed or consolidated plants
- Preserve batch records for traceability and audits
- Archive engineering drawings and quality documentation
- Integrate historical data from acquired facilities
Benefits
Lower costs, better visibility, reduced operational risk
- Cut infrastructure and system maintenance expenses
- Enable faster root cause and production analysis
- Reduce exposure in outdated operational systems
- Support digital transformation and plant consolidation
Compliance & Risk Mitigation
Maintain manufacturing compliance while reducing operational risk
- Enforce retention aligned with ISO, FDA, and ITAR requirements
- Maintain full chain of custody with immutable audit records
- Support defensible disposition and regulatory reporting
- Reduce ransomware risk through secure, isolated archives
