IT Support for Houston's Manufacturing Sector
Houston's manufacturing sector extends far beyond energy. From aerospace components in Clear Lake to food processing in north Houston, manufacturers depend on technology to keep production lines moving.
Modern manufacturing means connected systems—ERP platforms tracking inventory, MES systems monitoring production, and IoT sensors feeding data to quality control. When these systems fail, production stops, orders ship late, and customers look elsewhere.
Braintek has supported Houston manufacturers since 2003. We understand that manufacturing IT isn't just about email and printers—it's about keeping your production systems running, your supply chain visible, and your quality data accurate.
IT Pain Points We Solve For Manufacturing Companies
Chronic downtime caused by outdated infrastructure or poor IT response.
Disjointed or unsupported applications slowing down production.
Lack of visibility into IT performance leading to reactive problem-solving.
Increased cybersecurity risk threatening proprietary data and system integrity.
Fragmented vendor support causing confusion and unresolved issues.
Manufacturing Software We Support
Our technicians support the platforms Houston manufacturers depend on: ERPs, SAP, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, SYSPRO, Global Shop Solutions, JobBOSS, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fishbowl, and more.
We ensure these platforms integrate properly, sync data reliably, and stay available during production hours.

Bridging IT and OT in Manufacturing
Modern manufacturing blurs the line between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). Your ERP needs data from the shop floor. Your quality system needs readings from production sensors. Your maintenance team needs alerts from equipment monitors.
Braintek helps Houston manufacturers manage this convergence:
Network Segmentation: Isolating production networks from business systems while enabling necessary data flow
Industrial Protocol Support: Working with Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, and other manufacturing protocols
Edge Computing: Configuring local processing for time-sensitive applications
Cybersecurity for OT: Implementing protections that don't disrupt production
Data Integration: Connecting shop floor systems to business intelligence and ERP platforms
We coordinate with your automation integrators and equipment vendors to ensure IT and OT work together reliably.
