Smart IT/OT Convergence Management Solutions for Manufacturing
IT/OT Endpoint Management
Integrated Solutions for Diverse Device Management
The baramundi Management Suite provides integrated, automated, single-pane-of-glass solutions for managing and securing endpoint devices in converged IT/OT environments.
Trusted by manufacturers and distributors of food and beverages, textiles, automotive and electronics parts, fasteners, building automation, and other products, baramundi solutions address the challenges of managing and securing diverse endpoints across business and production networks.
More Devices, Greater Responsibilities, and Increased Risks
IT teams at many mid-sized manufacturers are now responsible for managing a growing fleet of Windows and Linux PCs, laptops, and iOS and Android mobile devices used in both office and networked manufacturing environments. Endpoints are deployed in multiple on-premises, home office, mobile, and remote locations. They include a mix of business productivity and specialized manufacturing software, have varying degrees of connectivity, and require different security configurations.
Risks of Connected Manufacturing
Routine maintenance tasks that are easily performed in traditional IT environments become more complicated and time-consuming. Devices used in production often are:
Compliance-sensitive based on TISAX, CIS, CMMC, NIST, or internal requirements
Not visible outside the local network and may require on-site manual intervention
Operated by multiple users in warehouses and other locations
Offline or only intermittently online for security and compliance reasons
Essential tasks such as maintaining accurate IT inventories and deploying security-related patches may be difficult or impossible to complete, increasing operational and security risks. For example:
- Undetected endpoint performance issues can cause product quality lapses
- Network dependencies can be hard to recognize, so problems in one system can lead to cascading downstream failures
- Undetected or unpatched vulnerabilities or delayed patch deployments make systems more susceptible to cyberattacks and compliance violations
IT teams familiar with maintaining business computing environments also may need to expand or adapt existing skill sets to understand the differing requirements of networked production devices in order to manage them effectively.
Overcoming the Challenges of Managing Diverse IT/OT Endpoints

What we especially appreciated was the minimal reliance on specialized infrastructure. With baramundi, we can easily create and use readily available local DIPs (Distribution Installation Points) to complete and monitor maintenance task quickly and efficiently.
Our multi-year experience with baramundi has only confirmed that we made the right choice when we first selected a UEM solution.
