IT that respects what’s happening on the shop floor.
A line that’s down because of a switch nobody knows the password to is an expensive line. We run managed IT for Hawaii manufacturers — food producers, printers, apparel, fabricators — so the back office, the network, and the security work don’t become the thing that stops production.
Manufacturing IT Services for Hawaii Producers, Food Processors, and Printers
HI Tech Hui delivers manufacturing IT services to Hawaii producers, food processors, beverage makers, and commercial printers. Engagements cover ERP and inventory platforms (NetSuite, QuickBooks Enterprise, Fishbowl), shop-floor systems, and the OT/SCADA networks that touch label printers, scales, and process equipment. We segment OT from corporate IT, monitor the boundary with our 24/7 SOC, and bring HACCP/FDA-friendly documentation patterns to Hawaii food manufacturers without overcomplicating day-to-day operations.
The shape of manufacturing IT here
A typical client has a production area with a few PCs running line software or label printing, a back office with accounting and inventory, an ERP that’s either ancient or in the cloud, and a Microsoft 365 tenant that grew without a plan. The switches are in a closet that nobody’s opened in three years. The cameras are on the same network as payroll. We come in, document what’s actually running, segment what needs to be segmented, and stand up real backups and security — then run it month to month.
What we cover
- Shop-floor & office network — segmentation between production gear, cameras, office, and guest, with documented design
- Endpoint management — standards, patching, encryption, and antivirus on production PCs, office workstations, and laptops
- ERP / MRP / accounting — we coordinate with NetSuite, Sage, Acumatica, MISys, QuickBooks Enterprise, and similar platforms
- Microsoft 365 — mail, MFA, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, license cleanup
- Backups — immutable cloud backup with real quarterly restore tests, including ERP databases
- Cybersecurity — email security, phishing tests, vulnerability scanning, and 24/7 SOC monitoring through Cyberuptive
- Helpdesk — production operators, supervisors, office staff, and management get a single number
- Vendor coordination — ISPs, ERP vendors, line equipment vendors, payroll providers
Who we work with
Food and beverage producers, commercial printers, apparel and textile shops, metal fabricators, sign and specialty manufacturers, packagers, and small-to-mid-size operations across the islands. Most have somewhere between a dozen and a few hundred endpoints, an ERP or MRP system that runs the business, and a payroll that does not appreciate downtime.
Why a Hawaii-based team matters
Shipping a switch to a plant in Kalihi or Kahului from a mainland MSP is a multi-day adventure. We stock common gear in Honolulu, can dispatch trusted on-island techs, and we know the difference between a real outage and Hawaiian Telcom having a bad afternoon. We’ve been running IT for Hawaii businesses since 2014.
