Industrial IT

The thirst for more real-time data and information originating from the plant floor requires a well-designed, secure communications network and computing system. It must be responsive, effective, robust and economic. The Industrial IT (Information Technology) platform becomes a highway capable of handling very large amounts of data and information in real-time; yet not affect the timely operation of the devices running the production lines. The platform needs to adhere to industry-wide physical and logical standards to allow the many disparate systems to connect and share data. The Industrial IT becomes a valuable resource relied upon by plant management, production, maintenance, quality assurance, engineering, off-site suppliers and corporate analysts.
Malisko is well versed and very experienced in providing the design and deployment of very comprehensive and secure Industrial IT platforms meeting the data and information requirements of today and into the future. Malisko can provide goods and services providing effective Industrial IT; including and not limited to:
- Industrial Network
- Performance Assessment
- Design
- Deployment
- Physical Network Infrastructure Specifications based on CPwE
- Industrial Zone Systems
- Industrial Distribution Frames
- Horizontal and Vertical Pathway Specifications
- Micro Datacenters
- Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ)
- Industrial Firewalls
- Cisco Validated Design Integration
- Rockwell Automation Characterized PlantPAx System Design
- Stratus Technologies fault-tolerant infrastructure design
- Domain, DNS, Active Directory Integration
- Server Virtualization
- Shared Storage Integration
- Virtual Machine Backup Solutions
- Thin Client Deployment

Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) networks aren’t the same as enterprise networks, and treating them the same can cause severe consequences. Malisko has the knowledge and experience to implement an Industrial IT solution that meets your plant’s needs and keeps your plant secure.

Our Approach
No two plants are the same. No two production processes are either. We deliver an automated production process that works for you. And it will work as perfectly as physically possible. Whether you’ve already implemented some automation, just finished an OEE review, or are starting from the beginning, we’ll provide the service you need. We can provide a business justification for process automation, design your automated system, or implement a system that’s already been designed. We can do it all and jump in at any point during the process.
Our approach to process engineering and automation has delivered results for over 20 years. It has allowed us to provide our clients with consistent, efficient production, and measurable ROI. How do we do it?
Site Assessment
Our site assessment follows a tried and true process and is the first step in implementing an automation solution. During each site assessment, we will :
- Identify Existing Automation Controls
- Identify Potential Cost-Saving Solutions
- Identify Opportunities
- Business Justification
- Presenting Automation Solutions

Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
Our Front End Engineering Design (FEED) sets the foundation for a successful project accomplished on time, on budget and in a way that fits your in-house team.
If the needs of your business, plant, and production line change over time, our systems come ready to change along with them. And if you need, we’ll even tweak the system design to fit the skill sets of your support team. We believe the best systems change for you. It shouldn’t be the other way around.
Once the FEED is completed, you will receive:

Detailed Engineering and Design
Malisko both designs your automation system and implements it. Our detailed engineering and design service picks up right after our FEED services leave off, and our system integration execution pick up right after our detailed engineering and design. We can handle the complete package: specification, design, procurement, development, on-site execution, troubleshooting and support of the control, network, security and MES layers.
During this phase we can provide you with:
- Drawing Packages
- Documentation
- Hardware & Software Specification
- Industrial IT Infrastructure Design

Project Execution
We design your system on a foundation of understanding so that we can rapidly implement it with absolute precision. We program each function in your system and set up an intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) and reporting that allows your team to adopt your system efficiently. We outfit your system with the reporting you need to stay on top of your production. Prior to installation, we run your system through several rounds of intensive testing in a simulated environment to make sure it works. Once we have programmed your machines, set up your HMI, created a useful reporting program and tested the functionality and performance of your system, it is time to install your system in your facility. When on-site system installation is complete our Team again extensively tests the operation, performance and functionality of the new system holistically from the field devices through to reporting.
During this phase we can provide you with:
- Programming & Logic Development
- Human Machine Interface (HMI) Development
- Reporting
- System Integration Testing & Simulation
- On-Site Process Commissioning
