Production machines and office systems operate in separate IT worlds. equipme consolidates both into one platform so you can manage resources, ensure security, and maintain compliance.
Each location operates independently with its own needs and workflows. Meanwhile, central IT is expected to maintain standards, provide support, and ensure compliance across all sites without any unified system to coordinate it all.
Two separate IT worlds
Production IT manages machines and manufacturing systems while office IT handles laptops and business software. These teams use different processes, vendors, and standards with no coordination between them.
No visibility across both environments
You don't know which systems are running in production, what office resources are deployed, or how everything connects. Data is scattered between production documentation and office IT spreadsheets.
Security gaps between systems
Office networks follow strict security standards while production machines run outdated software that can't be updated during operations.
Conflicting maintenance schedules
Office IT updates happen overnight, but production runs 24/7. Coordinating maintenance windows for connected systems becomes impossible.
Compliance documentation
ISO standards for production and IT security requirements for office systems create separate documentation requirements.
The Solution
Five ways to simplify your IT management
Managing IT across decentralized locations doesn't have to be chaos. equipme consolidates everything into one platform with five essential workflows.
Track all resources across production and office
Maintain a complete inventory of production equipment and office IT in one system. Track machines, tools, computers, software licenses, and access rights with visibility into what's deployed, where it's located, and when it needs maintenance.
Unified inventory across production and office environments
Real-time tracking of resource status, location, and lifecycle
Identify security vulnerabilities and outdated systems
Consolidate spending from production IT suppliers and office IT vendors into one view. Track costs by department, location, or resource type and identify where budget is going across your entire operation.
Combine production equipment costs and office IT spending
Break down expenses by production line, department, or cost center
Forecast budgets based on upcoming maintenance and replacement cycles
Route support requests from production machines and office systems through one ticketing system. Assign issues to the right team, track resolution times, and maintain documentation for both environments without switching between tools.
Production incidents and office IT tickets managed in one system
Automatic routing to specialists based on issue type
Complete audit trail for compliance and incident documentation
Automate maintenance schedules across production and office systems. Define workflows that account for production uptime requirements, coordinate updates across connected systems, and ensure security patches get applied.
Schedule maintenance windows that respect 24/7 production requirements
Coordinate updates across production and office systems
Automate approval processes for changes that affect production uptime
Stop managing production and office IT through separate systems, spreadsheets, and manual coordination. Unify resource management, security, and compliance in one platform.
Manage every resource across your entire operation
Whether you manage production machinery, office IT, or facility systems, equipme handles the full spectrum of resources your manufacturing operation depends on.

FAQs
Managing IT in manufacturing environments raises real questions. Here's what IT managers ask us most about.
equipme supports multi-site manufacturing operations with location-specific inventory tracking and centralized oversight. Track which resources are deployed at each production facility, coordinate maintenance schedules across sites, and maintain consistent standards while allowing site-specific customization where needed.
What if production equipment can't connect to our network?
equipme handles offline production equipment through manual documentation and scheduled updates. Track machines that can't be networked, document maintenance manually, and maintain inventory without requiring direct system integration.
How do we coordinate maintenance across production and office systems?
Use equipme's workflow engine to schedule maintenance windows that account for production uptime requirements. Define approval processes for changes affecting production, coordinate updates across connected systems, and ensure critical patches get applied without disrupting operations.
Can we maintain separate security standards?
Yes. equipme lets you define different security policies and compliance requirements for production and office environments while maintaining visibility across both. Track which systems meet which standards and identify gaps without forcing one-size-fits-all policies.
Can different teams access only their relevant resources?
Yes. Production managers see production equipment, office IT sees office systems, and management sees everything. Role-based permissions ensure each team accesses only what they need while you maintain centralized oversight across both environments.
