What we deliver for manufacturers
- Industrial electrical: three-phase distribution, switchboard rebuilds, sub-board work, protective device coordination
- Machine networking and PLC integration, with Test LAN validation before plant floor cutover
- Plant Wi-Fi designed for warehouse scanners, plant floor tablets and roaming devices
- CCTV at loading dock, goods-in, goods-out, plant floor and yard
- Access control tied to staff identity (including shift workers, contractors, visitors)
- IT support for plant administration, ERP integration, hybrid working in front-of-house
- Planned maintenance against the plant's risk profile and shutdown windows
Why it matters
Manufacturing sites have a structural problem that office environments don't: electrical, networking, security and IT systems all share the same physical site and have to interlock, but the trades that install them usually don't. A plant network failure that turns out to be a power-conditioning issue. A new machine line that the existing distribution can't handle. A camera at the loading dock that's installed but isn't on the network anyone can see. These are recurring patterns in plants where each layer was delivered by a separate contractor on a separate programme. The cost of that separation shows up at every change.
How we work with manufacturers
We scope manufacturing work against the production schedule, not against a generic project plan. Available shutdown windows, planned machine additions, the safety systems already in place, the existing distribution headroom — all input to the design. Cutover work is scheduled to hit existing shutdowns where possible. Because Alexis IT holds Full Electrical Registration, Clipsal/Actassi cabling certification and Certified Fibre Optic accreditation, the same team designs the power, runs the cable, configures the network and signs the work off. Documentation lands at handover, not three weeks later.
Outcomes
- One coordinated programme across industrial electrical, plant networking, security and IT
- Cutover scheduled to existing shutdowns — minimal unplanned downtime
- As-built documentation that the plant maintenance team can actually use
- Multi-site coordination on consistent infrastructure across plants
Who this fits
Single-site and multi-site manufacturers across Waikato and Bay of Plenty — including food processing, metals and engineering, plastics and packaging, light assembly, and any plant where electrical, networking and security infrastructure need to be planned and supported as one programme.
