Logistics & Distribution
We find out whether your warehouse networks, scanners, workstations, systems of record and partner connections are safe from attackers. A warehouse is a computer with forklifts. We connect scanners, sensors and robots to a system of record your company owns, and keep the network around them safe.
Third-party logistics, distribution and warehousing companies run on thin margins and tight schedules. Information has to move as fast as the pallets: a scan at the dock should reach the inventory system in seconds, and a robot or sensor should be added without a new project.
We built an ERP and a warehouse platform that talk to each other: scanners and sensors publish over MQTT, machines speak OPC UA, and the custom ERP the company owns keeps inventory, orders and billing current.
What we see in your industry
- Data is created at the dock and the shelf, but it often reaches the system of record hours late or not at all. Stock counts drift and staff re-key.
- Robots and scanners need wireless that roams without dropping sessions. A robot that loses its connection blocks an aisle.
- Operational technology, such as conveyors and controllers, should not share a network with email. Segmentation and a local edge server keep a building running if the internet link fails.
- Off-the-shelf warehouse software makes every new robot or sensor an integration project. A platform the company owns turns it into configuration.
The first problem is the gap between the floor and the system of record. Off-the-shelf software rarely connects to scanners, scales, conveyors and robots, so people re-key data and counts drift. An event-based platform removes the gap.
The second is the wireless network. Scanners and robots roam all day. We design 802.11ax Wi-Fi with fast roaming, survey with real devices and keep operational technology on its own segment, as described in our guidance on OT and ICS security.
The third is resilience. Each building should keep picking and shipping if its internet link fails, which means an edge server that holds the work and synchronizes later. We test it by cutting the link during a busy shift.
The fourth is ownership. When the ERP belongs to the company, adding a robot fleet or a new carrier is configuration. We build the platform around your workflows, then extend it as the business grows.

OT and ICS Security for Manufacturers: A Practical Guide Based on NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3 and CISA Guidance
Plant-floor systems were built for uptime and safety, not for the internet. NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3 and CISA's 2025 joint guidance give manufacturers a clear order of work: get controllers off the internet, change default passwords, lock down remote access, separate IT from OT, and keep the ability to run by hand.

Direct answers to the questions we hear most. Something else on your mind?
Send us a messageCan you connect warehouse robots and sensors to an ERP?
Yes. Our logistics case uses a custom ERP with an industrial IoT layer: scanners, scales and sensors publish over MQTT, with OPC UA to conveyors and controllers, and robot fleets integrate through their APIs. Stock levels update in seconds instead of hours.
How should warehouse Wi-Fi be designed?
For roaming scanners and robots, with 802.11ax and fast roaming (802.11r), because a robot that loses its connection blocks an aisle. The case pairs it with a segmented network for operational technology.
Why separate operational technology from the office network?
Conveyors and controllers should not share a network with email. Segmentation limits what a compromised office device can reach, and a local edge server at each building keeps operations running if the internet link fails.
Why build a custom platform instead of buying warehouse software?
Off-the-shelf software makes every new robot or sensor an integration project, and staff re-key data when systems cannot talk to the floor. A platform the company owns turns additions into configuration.
How do you reduce re-keying and stock drift?
By capturing data where it is created, at the dock and the shelf, and sending it straight to the system of record. Manual re-keying is largely eliminated, and dashboards and automated exception handling flag problems.
