Network Assessments
Cross Company Network Assessments
In a rapidly-changing industrial marketplace, having a robust and efficient network infrastructure is necessary for any manufacturing operation looking to scale, optimize, and maintain the security of their operations.
Within industrial process manufacturing facilities, intricate networks are relied upon to control machinery, collect data, and ensure seamless (and in many cases, continuous) operations. However, ensuring that these networks are operating at their peak performance, adhering to security protocols, and prepared for future expansion is a complex challenge.
With Cross Company Process Solutions, we can provide comprehensive network assessment services. Our goal is to assess, optimize, and protect your industrial network infrastructure, providing you with a sturdy, secure, and scalable foundation for the future. If these sound like services that would benefit your operation, we’d love to hear from you. Contact one of our experts today to learn more.
Why Industrial Network Assessments Are Important
Within industrial manufacturing, well-designed and documented networks are often the cornerstone of operational excellence. They allow your facility to run as intended while delivering on a quality end product. They also protect your production from unexpected stoppage/unplanned downtime as well as potential security threats. As industries evolve and technology changes, the ability to adapt and grow is only becoming more important in these scenarios.
At Cross Company, we recognize the importance of a thorough network assessment. We start the process by gathering information to get a clear understanding of where your network stands today and where you need it to be in the future. This, paired with our strategic partnerships with industry-leading brands, allows us to provide the best service and process networking equipment for you based on your operational needs.

Benefits of Process Network Assessments
Efficient networking of manufacturing process control systems leads to increased efficiency, productivity, and cost savings.
Increased Efficiency
With better networking equipment, process facilities can run more smoothly, which translates to increased efficiency overall. This can come from upgraded networking infrastructure, specialized equipment, or hardware/software upgrades
Greater Productivity
Being able to produce more efficiently also means greater productivity overall. Lower downtime and increased throughput work together to increase your process efficiency and productivity overall, providing tangible operational benefits
Cost Savings
At Cross, we understand that unplanned downtime can be a major obstacle to meeting production goals or stakeholder deadlines. With greater networking efficiency, you can work to reduce downtime and increase productivity

The Network Assessment Process
When we perform network assessments for process manufacturing operations, we follow a systematic plan to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your network infrastructure.
1. Learning and Planning – the first step is to work with our experts so we can understand everything going on with your network. How it works cohesively, how it relates to your process as a whole, and even how well it integrates with your equipment. Through understanding the current state of the network and knowing your future goals, we can lay the groundwork for the assessment.
2. Auditing Existing Systems – we move on to auditing your network, creating lists of connected devices, diagrams of infrastructure, and illustrations of interconnections. This provides us a clear understanding of your network as it is, as well as its potential strengths and weaknesses.
3. Creating a Report – Post-audit, we create a custom report specific to your network configuration. This includes total inventory, structural diagrams, and our recommendations for improvement. We go over this report with you so that you have a complete understanding, as well.
4. Moving to Action – the final phase moves past the initial assessment. Working from that framework, we can acquire the equipment and instrumentation necessary to enact any suggested upgrades or changes.
