Business journey
Details
-
Cybersecurity
-
As production and manufacturing become increasingly digitized, the risk of cyber attacks and data breaches becomes greater. The production industry must prioritize cybersecurity measures to protect their systems and sensitive data.
-
Security assessments
Develop a baseline for the security posture of the manufacturing or production systems, highlighting the areas that need immediate attention. -
Multi-factor authentication
Add an extra layer of security to the production system by requiring users to provide multiple forms of authentication before accessing the system. This can include a combination of passwords, tokens, biometric data, or smart cards. -
Network segmentation
Divide the production network into smaller, isolated segments to reduce the potential impact of a cyber-attack. Make it harder for hackers to move laterally within the network and gain access to sensitive information or control systems. -
Cybersecurity framework implementation
Frameworks such as NIST or ISO provide guidelines and standards for implementing a cybersecurity program in a manufacturing environment. Implement a framework to prioritize and manage risks, and develop a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.

-
-
Legacy systems & infrastructure
-
Many production companies still rely on legacy systems and infrastructure that are not compatible with newer technologies. This can hinder their ability to innovate and adapt to changing market conditions.
-
System & infrastructure assessment
Conduct a technology audit to identify the legacy systems and infrastructure that need to be replaced or upgraded. Prioritize the modernization efforts and ensure that the most critical systems are addressed first. -
Modernization plan development
Based on the technology audit, develop a modernization strategy. The strategy will outline the systems to be modernized, the expected benefits, the timeline for modernization, and the resources required. -
Phased approach implementation
Legacy systems are often deeply ingrained in a company's operations, so a phased approach to modernization is often necessary. Identify low-risk, high-impact systems to modernize first, and then gradually work toward modernizing the rest of the architecture over time. -
Custom software solutions
Bridge the gap between modern technologies and legacy systems. For example, use middleware to integrate legacy architecture with cloud-based applications, or custom APIs to allow legacy systems to communicate with newer technologies. -
Cloud-driven solutions
Reduce the cost and complexity of modernization efforts with cloud-based solutions. Get access to new technologies and solutions that would otherwise be difficult or expensive to implement.

-
Data management & analysis
-
Production industry generates vast amounts of data from sensors, machines, and other sources. However, making sense of this data and turning it into actionable insights can be challenging, requiring sophisticated data management and analysis tools.
-
Data management strategy
Develop a data management strategy to identify the data sources, define data standards, and outline how the data will be stored and managed. -
Data collection & storage
Implement solutions for collecting and storing data from various sources such as IoT sensors, machines, and devices. This can include cloud-based data storage solutions that can easily scale up or down as needed. -
Data analytics tools
Implement analytics tools such as ML and AI to analyze the data and identify patterns and trends that can help optimize production processes. For example, use ML algorithms to predict equipment failure and schedule maintenance before breakdowns occur. -
Custom dashboards & reporting
Visualize and understand your company’s data more easily. Develop custom dashboards to quickly access the information you need to make informed decisions.

-
Supply chain disruptions
-
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability of global supply chains, with disruptions to transportation, logistics, and raw material availability impacting manufacturing operations. Build more resilient and flexible supply chains for your company.
-
IoT devices & sensors
Implement IoT devices and sensors to monitor and track inventory levels, shipments, and other important supply chain data in real-time. -
Blockchain-based technology
Use blockchain to provide transparency and traceability in the supply chain, allowing for more efficient identification and resolution of disruptions. -
Cloud-based management systems
Utilize cloud-driven supply chain management systems to provide real-time visibility into inventory, order processing, and shipment tracking, enabling better decision-making in case of disruptions. -
Predictive analytics implementation
Use data from supply chain processes to predict potential disruptions and take preemptive measures.
-
-
Advanced automation
-
The manufacturing industry is embracing advanced automation technologies such as robotics, AI, and machine learning to increase efficiency and reduce costs. However, these technologies can require specialized skills to operate and maintain.

FAQ
-
What are the differences between hiring an employee on an employment contract and B2B?
-
B2B and employment contracts primarily differ regarding the body of law to which the parties to both contracts are subject. For an employment contract, it is the Polish Labor Code, and for B2B contracts it is the Civil Code.
One of the more significant differences is the tax and social security payment liability. The employer covers these costs for an employee under an employment contract. In case of a B2B contract, the costs are borne by the contractor.
In addition, an employee on an employment contract is provided with paid vacation (20 or 26 days depending on tenure), paid sick leave, and additional days off for occasional special situations (funerals, births, etc.). An individual on a B2B contract may be provided with paid vacation under the terms of a gentleman's agreement with the employer.
Both contracts also differ in their notice periods: for an employment contract, the notice period ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months, while for a B2B contract, it is flexible, but usually 1 month.

-
How long does it take you to deliver a specialist/a team of specialists?
-
It depends upon the role, its complexity, and technical requirements. Usually, it takes us between 5 and 15 working days to fill a vacancy.
-
-
How do Link Group’s contractors report their working hours?
-
It works both ways: Contractors monitor and report their hours directly in the client's ATS system, where at the end of each month managers approve them or conduct the hourly reports in their Spreadsheets (also approved by the managers).
