After migration, your cloud infrastructure needs the same operational discipline as your on-premise environment — monitoring, patching, backup validation, incident response, and capacity planning. Most manufacturers don’t have a cloud operations team. We provide it. Tampa Bay's manufacturing identity is anchored by Jabil — one of the world's largest contract electronics manufacturers — with global operations run from its St. Petersburg headquarters. Honeywell Aerospace's Tampa turbine facility, Bausch + Lomb's contact lens manufacturing in Tampa, and a growing medical device cluster around the USF Health corridor create a multi-industry manufacturing base that spans defense electronics, healthcare, and food processing. MacDill Air Force Base adds significant defense contracting demand that ripples through the local supplier community.
Tampa Bay's manufacturing growth is being driven by climate migration — manufacturers relocating from higher-cost states bring their systems, their cultures, and their legacy ERP debt, creating a fragmented digital landscape that mirrors every state they came from.
Continuous monitoring of compute, storage, networking, and application health. Alerts routed to on-call engineers — not to an inbox nobody checks at 2 AM.
Scheduled patching for OS, middleware, and cloud services during approved maintenance windows. Security patches expedited based on severity. Every patch tested before production deployment.
Automated backup execution is table stakes. We validate backups by testing restores monthly. You know your backups work because we prove it regularly, not because a dashboard says "success."
Documented incident response procedures with severity classification, escalation paths, and communication templates. When something breaks, the response is structured, not improvised.
Monthly review of resource utilization trends. Proactive scaling recommendations before workloads hit capacity limits — not after users experience slowdowns.
Monthly operations reports covering uptime, incidents, patches, backup status, cost trends, and capacity outlook. Quarterly business reviews to align infrastructure priorities with operational goals.
Document the full cloud environment — architecture, access, monitoring, maintenance procedures, and escalation contacts. Establish operational baselines.
Configure monitoring, alerting thresholds, on-call rotation, and incident management workflows. Validate that alerts fire correctly and reach the right people.
Transition operational responsibility with a structured handoff — runbooks, access, and communication protocols established before we take over.
Ongoing monitoring, patching, backup validation, incident response, cost optimization, and capacity planning. Monthly reporting and quarterly business reviews.

Infrastructure by default — compute, storage, networking, OS, and cloud services. ERP application management (configuration changes, user support, module optimization) is available as an add-on or separate engagement.
Standard SLAs: 99.9% infrastructure uptime, 15-minute response for critical incidents, 4-hour response for standard issues. Enhanced SLAs available for mission-critical manufacturing environments.
Yes. We design operations with full documentation and runbooks specifically so they can be transferred. We offer structured transition programs that include training, shadowing, and graduated handoff over 60–90 days.
Most manufacturers are still running workflows that require a person to touch every exception, every order, every routing decision. AI agents eliminate that bottleneck — not by replacing your people, but by handling the work that was always below their pay grade.
Most manufacturers forecast demand with spreadsheets, gut feel, and last year's numbers adjusted by 5%. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonality patterns, and market signals replace guesswork with predictions your planning team can act on.
Odoo Maintenance captures work orders, failure reasons, repair times, and equipment history. We build AI models on top of that data to identify failure patterns and recommend maintenance windows before breakdowns occur — no new hardware, no IoT infrastructure required.
Odoo Quality captures inspection results, non-conformances, scrap reasons, and lot traceability across every production order. We build AI models on top of that data to surface defect patterns, predict quality risk, and trigger alerts before scrap accumulates — no cameras, no hardware.
Most manufacturers price by cost-plus formula or by whatever the sales rep negotiated last time. AI pricing models factor in material costs, competitive positioning, customer segment, order size, inventory position, and market conditions — governed by business rules so every price stays within approved boundaries.
When an order hits your system, someone decides which warehouse ships it — usually based on habit, proximity, or whoever answered the phone. AI order routing makes that decision in real time, optimizing across inventory availability, shipping cost, delivery speed, and warehouse workload.
Manufacturers still process thousands of POs, invoices, RFQs, spec sheets, and BOLs manually — reading PDFs, retyping data into the ERP, and fixing the errors that come with it. Document intelligence extracts structured data from unstructured documents automatically, with validation rules that catch errors before they enter your systems.
Your dealers call or email to check stock before placing orders because they can't see what's available. We give them live ATP visibility across all your warehouses — available, allocated, in-transit, and expected replenishment dates — straight from your ERP and WMS.
We govern cloud migration in phases — every dependency mapped, every workload sequenced, every cutover window defined. Zero-downtime migration for manufacturers who can't afford an outage.
Most manufacturing AI projects die in the pilot phase. We deploy AI that integrates into your actual workflows -- demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, pricing optimization, and intelligent routing -- governed by operational data contracts.
Your demand planning process runs on last year\u2019s sales adjusted by a gut-feel percentage. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonal patterns, and market signals produce forecasts that are measurably more accurate \u2014 and they improve automatically as more data accumulates.
Your legacy system holds critical data that modern applications need -- but it has no APIs, no webhooks, and no modern integration points. We build a REST/GraphQL API layer on top of your legacy system so new applications can access data without touching the core.
Metrotechs starts with the operating questions: which records are trusted, which workflows are manual, which systems own each decision, and where AI can safely improve throughput.
