 Battle-tested at enterprise scale 

 You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget. 

Your floor generates the data that your decisions depend on. OnX Canada connects IT and operational technology environments, so every part of your business, from the shop floor to the supply chain, works from the same picture.

AI & Data Solutions

AI & Data Solutions

51% of Canadian manufacturers plan to invest in AI, but most pilots stall before they scale. OnX Canada builds the governed data infrastructure that turns your operational telemetry into real-time impacts: predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain visibility at production scale.

Application Solutions

Application Solutions

Legacy manufacturing systems weren’t built to share data across the plant floor or with enterprise and supply chain platforms. Integration complexity is one of the top barriers Canadian manufacturers face, and the skills gap compounds the problem. OnX Canada modernizes your applications without requiring a full rebuild or taking production offline.

Cybersecurity Solutions

Cybersecurity Solutions

Manufacturing remains the most ransomware-targeted sector globally, with attacks surging 61% in 2025 alone. A breach that reaches OT compromises data and stops the line. OnX Canada secures your IT, OT, and the growing attack surface where they converge, so a threat on the corporate network can’t reach your production floor.

Key Outcomes

Production Resilience & Business Continuity

A modern, secure manufacturing network reduces unplanned downtime and ensures always-on plant operations. Production systems, ERP integrations, and supply chain connections remain protected, available, and resilient — enabling growth and innovation without disruption.

Elevated Workforce & Operational Productivity

Reliable plant-floor connectivity, intuitive applications, and unified collaboration tools create seamless experiences for operators and plant managers. Employees stay productive, informed, and supported — driving throughput, safety, and measurable operational performance.

Operational Efficiency & Cost Predictability

Standardized infrastructure, centralized management, and managed services reduce plant-level complexity and IT overhead while introducing predictable operating costs. IT teams shift from reactive troubleshooting to strategic initiatives — freeing resources for facility expansion and digital transformation.

Future-Ready Innovation Capacity

Unified data, scalable platforms, and secure edge capabilities prepare manufacturers to adopt IIoT, AI, and smart factory technologies with confidence. Innovation accelerates across predictive maintenance, quality control, supply chain optimization, and energy management.

Frequently asked questions

How does OnX Canada approach IT/OT convergence for manufacturers?

OnX Canada starts with an assessment of your existing operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments to understand where the integration points are and where the risks live. We design architecture that allows plant-floor systems to connect to enterprise infrastructure securely, with the right segmentation and monitoring in place. The goal is connectivity that improves visibility and decision-making without creating new exposure for production systems.

How does OnX Canada address data sovereignty for Canadian manufacturers?

OnX Canada designs cloud and data environments with Canadian data residency as a baseline requirement. We work with AWS, Microsoft, and other partners to ensure your data, whether operational, supply chain, or customer-related, is governed and stored in Canada in accordance with applicable privacy frameworks. This matters especially as manufacturers build toward AI-driven operations that require clean, accessible, and governed data at scale.

What does an OnX Canada managed services engagement look like for a manufacturing environment?

Our managed services for manufacturers are designed around the reality that uptime is non-negotiable and IT resources are often stretched thin. We provide 24x7 monitoring and management across infrastructure, cloud, and security, with co-management options for organizations that want to retain internal control of certain environments. Engagements are structured around your operational cadence, not ours.

How does OnX Canada support manufacturers moving toward AI and automation?

Most AI initiatives in manufacturing stall because the underlying data and infrastructure aren’t ready for production workloads. OnX Canada helps you close those gaps, from building a governed data foundation to engineering the compute and network infrastructure AI requires. We work with you to move from isolated pilots to initiatives that scale across your operations.

What makes OnX Canada a good long-term partner for Canadian manufacturers?

OnX Canada has been working with Canadian enterprises for more than 40 years, which means we understand how to navigate the pace, complexity, and operational constraints of a manufacturing environment. We build multi-year relationships because the technology work is never one-and-done. As your environment evolves, from modernizing aging infrastructure to operationalizing AI, we evolve alongside you.

Ready to strengthen your technology foundation?

Whether you’re looking to connect OT and IT environments, fortify your security posture, or build the data foundation for AI, OnX Canada has the expertise to help you move from where you are to where you need to be.
