Why It Matters For Manufacturing
A Smarter, Integrated Approach
Today’s manufacturing environments depend on more than machines—they require reliable, high-performance connectivity. With RCDD services, we can help manufacturers:
Design scalable, code-compliant network infrastructure
Improve system reliability and uptime
Integrate cabling for Wi-Fi, security, and automation systems
Plan efficient layouts for telecom rooms and pathways
By combining our mechanical design and fabrication experience with Taylor’s RCDD expertise, we now offer a fully integrated design-build service—bringing both physical and digital infrastructure together under one roof.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to have Taylor on board and excited to offer this new layer of value to our clients—especially those in the manufacturing and industrial sectors looking to upgrade or expand their operations.
If you’re planning a new facility, upgrading your infrastructure, or simply want to ensure your systems are designed for the future, we’d love to talk.
Let’s build smarter. Let’s build together.

Designing the Future
The Role of Design in Modern Manufacturing
In today’s fast-moving industrial landscape, manufacturing design plays a critical role in driving innovation, efficiency, and long-term success. Whether it’s designing custom machinery, optimizing workflows, or engineering for automation, thoughtful design is the foundation of a reliable manufacturing process.

At its core, manufacturing design is about creating systems and equipment that perform consistently, safely, and efficiently. It blends creativity with technical expertise—taking an idea from concept to reality through detailed planning, 3D modeling, and collaboration across teams.
Why It Matters
Strong design leads to:
Faster production times
Reduced waste and downtime
Better safety and operator experience
Lower long-term maintenance costs
From custom fixtures to full-scale machine builds, the design phase sets the tone for everything that follows.
At our company, we take pride in creating smart, functional designs that solve real problems on the shop floor. Because in manufacturing, success isn’t just about building—it’s about building better.
