Pacific Coast Producers Tech Stack
Agricultural cooperative processing shelf-stable produce across California's Central Valley
Pacific Coast Producers operates a canned and jarred produce manufacturing facility serving retail and food-service channels. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial operations—PLC, SCADA, DCS, Allen-Bradley, Rockwell Automation, FactoryTalk View—paired with enterprise data layers (SQL Server, JD Edwards). Active hiring in manufacturing and engineering, combined with concurrent projects in OT/ICS security, preventative maintenance, and automation modernization, signals a shift toward digitized production: the cooperative is simultaneously hardening critical infrastructure against cyber risk while investing in equipment reliability and material-handling automation.
