(Manufacturing Industry — ADR Data Recovery)

When a Manufacturing Brain Goes Offline

In modern manufacturing, every production step is orchestrated by a digital command center — the MES or ERP system that connects machines, schedules, and inventory into one heartbeat.
When that heartbeat depends on a RAID array and the array collapses, everything stops: orders freeze, robotic lines wait, operators stare at blank terminals.

ADR specializes in restoring those lost rhythms. We’ve recovered MES and ERP servers from tool-and-die shops, aerospace component plants, food-grade packaging lines, and high-precision CNC operations — often while production managers watched their shift clock burn.

How These Failures Occur

Manufacturing systems are not like office servers. MES and ERP data streams are continuous, writing process events and PLC log packets every second.
A power loss mid-write, a drive timeout, or an IT-level “rebuild” attempt can destroy parity synchronization instantly.
Once the array marks itself degraded, controllers like Dell PERC, HP Smart Array, or LSI MegaRAID can present “Foreign Config” or missing virtual disks.

That’s where ADR’s engineering tools come in. Using PC-3000 and proprietary RAID Inspector logic, we image each member drive, re-calculate virtual parity alignment, and verify file-system structures — block by block, not guess by guess.

The Recovery Philosophy

Our job isn’t only to retrieve files; it’s to restore continuity.
An MES array contains far more than documents — it holds production states, batch IDs, machine offsets, and operator logs. Losing those means rebuilding not just data but entire manufacturing logic.

That’s why ADR performs parity-neutral imaging before any repair attempt, reconstructs the virtual map offline, and delivers a verified dataset that can drop back into your MES or ERP application without re-training or re-entry.

Why Manufacturers Trust ADR

  • Industry-Aware Diagnostics – We recognize Siemens PLC, Rockwell, and Fanuc data layers within MES volumes and handle them as structured systems, not random binaries.
  • Engineer-Direct Support – You speak with the people who image and rebuild your drives — not a call-center script.
  • Remote Recovery When Time Is Critical – Secure, encrypted connections for immediate analysis before drives even ship.
  • Forensic-Grade Safety – Every action is hashed, timestamped, and reversible for compliance and audit.

Systems We Commonly Recover

  • MES and ERP databases on RAID 5 / 6 / 10 arrays
  • SCADA and HMI historian storage
  • CNC machine controller servers
  • PLC and sensor data archives
  • Industrial NAS / SAN / VM platforms

Example Outcome

“ADR understood our MES architecture before we finished describing it. They rebuilt a six-disk RAID-5 in under 48 hours and restored our production orders intact.”
