Wi-Fi for businesses

mdtech is ready to perform a comprehensive set of works for the optimization and deployment of wireless Wi-Fi networks in enterprises and manufacturing facilities.

In the era of manufacturing digitalization, stable wireless internet has become a critical segment of IT infrastructure. Modern automated systems, mobile terminals, industrial sensors, and controllers require reliable connectivity for uninterrupted operation.

Attempting to create a wireless network in complex factory environments without experience in Industrial-class wireless technologies and deep technical knowledge inevitably leads to failures in the business process chain.

mdtech specializes in the implementation of wireless network solutions and has significant experience in delivering projects for various manufacturing sectors.

Functions of Wi-Fi in an Enterprise Environment

In rapidly digitalizing production environments, the wireless network is a key infrastructure element, ensuring:

• Support for IoT Devices and Sensors: Real-time data collection from temperature, pressure, vibration sensors, and other parameters.

• Remote Equipment Access: Ability to diagnose, configure, and manage machines without direct physical connection.

• Integration with Automation Systems: Wi-Fi provides communication between robotic complexes and the central control system.

• Production Line Flexibility: The absence of rigid cable constraints simplifies line reconfiguration and rapid implementation of new processes.

• Predictive Maintenance: Data transfer from equipment to analytical systems for failure prediction.

• Automatic Accounting and Control: Use of RFID, scanners, and wireless terminals for accurate tracking of materials and finished products.

Specifics of Organizing Wireless Networks for Manufacturing

Wi-Fi deployment in manufacturing requires addressing specific conditions:

• Special Environmental Conditions: Requirements for equipment protection against dust, gases, temperatures (Industrial-class casings), and compliance with cleanroom standards.

• Complex Topology: Presence of metal and capital structures that affect signal propagation and cause interference.

• Seamless Roaming: Mandatory requirement for mobile terminals and moving equipment.

• High Fault Tolerance: Achieved by channel redundancy and overlapping AP coverage zones to ensure continuous workflow.

mdtech specialists possess the necessary equipment and software for designing and creating an Industrial-class network that meets high standards.

Stages of Wi-Fi Deployment in an Enterprise

1. Requirements Analysis and Network Modeling: Defining client requirements and analyzing production zones based on floor plans. Assessing equipment locations and mobile client routes. Creating a predictive coverage model and preliminary specification for Industrial-class equipment.

2. Site Survey: Conducting an on-site radio frequency survey using pre-selected APs and external antennas to validate the predictive model. Refining the design based on actual measurements. Developing and issuing technical documentation (AP locations, controller settings).

3. Installation and Implementation: Equipment delivery, laying the cable infrastructure. Strict installation of APs according to the project. Configuration of control equipment, commissioning, and integration with existing systems (LAN, authorization).

4. Testing and Optimization: Conducting a final radio frequency survey to assess coverage quality, speed, and signal stability. Making necessary adjustments to wireless controller settings.

5. Support and Maintenance: Handing over the network for customer operation. Consulting IT staff and providing liaison with vendor technical support.
