What is Connected Enterprise?
It’s a system for industrial operation that’s intelligent, optimized and secure – converging Information Technology (IT) and Operations Technology (OT) into a single architecture so you can capitalize on real time information. Collecting important data from the beginning of the manufacturing process until the end allows you to make faster strategic decisions.
EECO can help you improve production quality and meet demand more precisely by helping you achieve a Connected Enterprise for your business.
Benefits of a Connected Enterprise
Faster time to market
Design productivity, faster commissioning times with intelligent devices, quicker startup of Greenfields, proven technology around risk mitigation for operations and IT, and the agility to respond to customer trends more quickly.
Improved asset utilization and optimization
Improved reliability and quality, and predictive maintenance driven by operational intelligence tools.
Lower total cost of ownership
Better life-cycle management, enabling more effective operations, improved energy management, and easier technology migration.
Enterprise risk management
Protection of intellectual property and brand image with a safe and secure operating environment, reduced exposure due to poor product quality and internal and external threats.

Learn MoreWhy Modernize?
Upgrades are crucial, and we understand that. With decades of experience, and manufacturing customers of all sizes, EECO can lead your modernization efforts and deliver what you should expect.
Risk of Waiting Too Long
Today, you may have a fully operational system utilizing equipment that is no longer supported. But the risks are high.
Neglecting to replace aging automation components could be financially disastrous.
Consider the implication of a critical legacy-system failure. Inability to bring the system online could mean extended periods of downtime versus a shorter planned upgrade with EECO experts.
