Case Study

Before engaging with Malisko, “Alpha” Company faced several critical network-related issues that hindered operational efficiency and plant scalability:

Aging Network Infrastructure
The plant’s outdated network lacked redundancy, leading to risks of downtime and difficulty in maintaining network reliability.

Disconnected Controls Network
The lack of a unified IT/OT network integration resulted in inefficiencies, limiting the ability to respond quickly to production needs and exposing critical systems to security vulnerabilities.

Disorganized and Unreliable IDFs
Poorly managed intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) featured improper cabling, inadequate cooling, and insufficient power redundancy, affecting network stability and device management.

Limited Remote Management & Scalability
The existing infrastructure was not equipped to support modern automation solutions, preventing seamless device monitoring and expansion.

Malisko designed and implemented a comprehensive digital transformation strategy to modernize “Alpha” Company’s network, ensuring seamless IT and OT integration while maintaining high security and reliability standards. Key elements of the solution included:
