Industrial estates in Catalonia

Managed IT support and cloud for businesses on industrial estates

Keep the technology behind your production, orders and teams ready for work.

Seintec helps manufacturing, logistics and service businesses keep their IT systems operational. We combine managed IT support, managed cloud and cybersecurity to reduce IT-related disruption and prepare for recovery.

  • Experience delivering business technology projects
  • Our own data centre
  • A single point of contact for your IT

Standard support runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Round-the-clock emergency cover applies when contracted.

What stops when IT fails

It does not take a major failure to stop a business. These are the situations that repeat most often when infrastructure is not maintained.

Orders do not ship

The ERP stops responding, delivery note and label printing halts, and dispatch waits for a manual workaround.

The warehouse works blind

Terminals lose connectivity, locations are not updated and work is written on paper to be entered later.

Nobody knows who to call

Carrier, software maintainer and IT pass the incident between them while the problem stays open.

The backup exists but was never tested

On the day you need to restore, dependencies, credentials and documents nobody had checked appear.

Maintenance, cloud and protection as one service

Maintenance surfaces needs, projects fix or modernise, and ongoing operations keep the environment healthy. Moving everything to the cloud is not a condition for support.

Managed IT support

Inventory, monitoring of agreed assets, incident handling, capacity reviews, accounts, compatible updates, backup health and renewal planning.

Managed cloud

Virtual or dedicated servers, remote desktops and applications as required, assessing product, version, licensing, concurrent users, database, storage, integrations, latency and printing.

Hybrid architecture

Part of the environment can stay on site and part in the cloud. The decision rests on operational dependency, compatibility and testing, not a general sales promise.

Layered cybersecurity

Named accounts and stronger authentication, least privilege, protected remote access, network separation by function, compatible server and endpoint protection, monitoring, logging and backups.

Business applications

Sage, AHORA and a3 are common examples used to identify management software. Feasibility depends on product, version, licensing and vendor requirements; a vendor SaaS cannot be moved like a virtual machine.

Technology projects

Server renewal, cloud migration, identity and permission clean-up, network improvement, relocation, site consolidation and recovery planning, delivered in phases with testing.

Where IT ends and the plant begins

The IT layer covers identity, email, servers, the corporate network and management applications. PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, robots and functional safety systems need different conditions and are coordinated with their owners and manufacturers.

Before segmenting

Real dependencies are identified before separating networks or changing access, so a necessary connection is not cut.

Maintainer access

Authorised and logged connections, with no shared accounts and no permanent uncontrolled access.

Before patching

Compatibility is validated before installing agents, applying patches or restarting plant-connected systems.

Windows and testing

Changes that could affect operations are agreed with a window, tests and a rollback option.

We do not offer automated intrusive scanning, plant penetration testing or PLC modifications on the back of a web form. Nor does contracting cloud deliver regulatory certification: any compliance requirement needs a specific scoping assessment.

Backup, recovery and communications

The useful question is what happens if a system you need to work fails. Recovering the server and recovering the work are not the same thing.

Backups with a defined scope

Frequency, retention, consistency, location, access protection and testing are all agreed. A snapshot, a replica and an independent backup are different things, and high availability does not replace backup.

Restore testing

Restoring is one step; checking access, applications, data and representative tasks is what confirms work can resume.

RPO and RTO explained

RPO is the target for how much data can be lost in the agreed scenario and RTO the target time to restore service. Neither is a ticket response time.

Communications

Redundancy and failover can be assessed subject to coverage and the contracted service. Two lines may share a route or power supply: the design has to verify those dependencies through testing.

One point of contact for your company's technology

A single contact does not remove third-party contracts or responsibilities; it organises the work between them.

WhoWhat they are responsible for
SeintecInfrastructure and IT support within the contracted scope: agreed cloud, access, backups and technical coordination.
ERP or WMS vendorFunctional configuration, development and application updates under their own contract.
Industrial integrator or manufacturerMachine control, compatibility validation and work within their remit.
Your companyBusiness priorities, authorisations and confirmation that processes work.
Carriers and other suppliersExternal services and their own service levels, coordinated where relevant.

A migration is not carried out without the software maintainer where application dependencies exist.

Estates with their own page

Forty business and industrial areas across Catalonia, grouped by province. The selection is commercial and territorial, documented with SIPAE records; it is not an official ranking of the largest estates.

Where the territorial data comes from

Public SIPAE export from the Generalitat de Catalunya, consulted on 14/09/2026. The codes identify the source records and the dates show each record's declared update, not a current verification of the companies present.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide IT support to businesses in Zona Franca?
Yes. We work with companies in Barcelona and across Catalonia. Coverage means the service is organised to support your business, not that we have an office or a permanent engineer on the estate; work combines remote support and site visits as agreed.
Can you work alongside our IT manager?
Yes. In the support model your team keeps the responsibilities you choose and we add capacity, infrastructure or specific projects. The split of tasks is documented at the start.
Do we have to move everything to the cloud?
No. We assess which systems are worth hosting and which should stay on site because of operational dependency, latency, peripherals or compatibility. Anything needing local response or offline work stays where it is.
Can we keep our current ERP vendor?
In many cases yes, depending on the application, licensing and contract. Seintec takes on the agreed infrastructure and support and coordinates application-dependent tasks with the maintainer.
How do you help reduce disruption?
Through prevention on the agreed assets, incident handling, change control and planned recovery of the contracted systems. That reduces risk and duration; it is not a promise of zero downtime.
Do you also maintain production machinery?
No. Business IT and industrial systems are separate areas: PLCs, HMIs, SCADA and machine control belong to their manufacturer or integrator. We coordinate with them when work could affect both sides.
How do you check backups?
By monitoring daily results and running planned restore tests on the agreed systems, then validating representative tasks with the company.
Can support fit around our shifts?
Hours and priorities are agreed in writing. Standard support runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm; extended or round-the-clock emergency cover applies when contracted.
Can we change provider without rebuilding everything?
Yes. We start from an inventory, collect documentation and access, review contracts and licences, and agree a phased transition plan without switching off what works.
What do you need to prepare a proposal?
Your activity, headcount and workstations, the applications you use, sites, hours and priorities. That defines the scope; we do not ask for sensitive system information at first contact.
