Manufacturing & Industrial

Keep production
moving.

Networks, infrastructure and security for connected production. We bring OT, IT and cloud together around safety, quality and the way your plant operates.

Safety & quality

Build around the process and its consequences.

Connected operations

Join up plant, business and cloud services.

Production continuity

Make change and recovery part of the design.

Connected production

Supporting autonomous operations,
convergence and connected services.

We engineer the networks, infrastructure and integrations that let plant systems work with business applications and cloud services. The design accounts for latency, availability, data quality and what happens when a connection fails.

Plant to cloudControlled connections. Defined dependencies.
Production

Keep control close
to the process.

Machines, sensors and operators

Time-critical control and safety requirements set the boundaries.
Site & edge

Connect with
a purpose.

Industrial networks, compute and data exchange

Approved flows, segmentation and visibility across OT and IT.
Connected services

Put operational
data to work.

Business systems, cloud and service providers

Quality, maintenance, planning and support for autonomous operations.
We define which services depend on connectivity, how local operation continues and when people need to intervene.
What Quokka brings

Engineering across
the whole plant.

From cabinets, power and cabling to wired and wireless networks, routing, security and cloud integration. We carry the architecture through construction, brownfields migration, testing and operating handover.

Safety and quality
shape the design.

We work with plant engineering and operations to understand the consequence of a lost connection, incorrect data or an unavailable service. Those requirements shape network behaviour, failure containment, change windows and acceptance checks.

Protect the equipment
you need to keep.

Where a device cannot be patched or support a required control, we design compensating controls around it: restricted network paths, mediated support access and monitoring. We test their effectiveness and document the remaining risk for the accountable owner.

Make Industry 4.0
and 5.0 operable.

Connected machines and services need dependable infrastructure. We design for integration and automation alongside people, resilience and resource efficiency, with clear operating limits, recovery behaviour and intervention points as autonomy increases.

Control the connections.
Plan for change and recovery.

We design and test the boundaries, support paths and recovery steps around the equipment you operate.

Named support identity

Approve the engineer, support task and session duration.

Controlled access point

Approve and record the connection across the site boundary.

Authorised engineering PC

Limit the work to the agreed workstation and production cell.

Other OT cells stay separate

Access to other controllers and HMIs needs separate permission.

Keep engineering access within the agreed OT boundary.

Connect the named engineer to the authorised engineering workstation through controlled access. Agree the support task, emergency arrangements and session end with the operating team.
