No boundries for a powerful network continuity solution
Location: Bharuch – Gujarat
Critical Needs:
Grasim is India's pioneer in VSF — a man-made, bio-degradable fiber that is fast emerging as a sustainable alternative to cotton. A versatile fiber, VSF is used in apparel, home textiles, dress materials. It was a green field project of new expansion of manufacturing plant. Site was under development where required entire networking & wireless infrastructure to facilitate such important plant of the organization. Every department, every individual must be fully equipped with high standard of network and wireless frequency to manage and operate day to day operation of the plant. Accurate design which support machineries of plant, provide faster and smoother communication without any hassle. Multiple switches, access point and appropriate rout of cable structured had to implement in entirely vast manufacturing plant. There were many open & under roof units, there were many undercrossing roads for transportation and passages for internal connectivity of goods.
What Creative infotech suggested:
This was one of the best collaboration’s teamwork project. We had developed a dedicated team of sale manager, engineers, pre-sales, structural design & executions personals. Without leaving any doubt of planning our experts had met Multiple hierarchy heads of plant, Experienced team of execution numerous times did site surveys and evaluated appropriately each department’s necessities & requirement of plant units. Understanding each iota of the requirements we suggested Upgradable the best fibre connectivity set up in the entire plant which passes through multiple crossroads, passages for internal transportation of goods. Structure is robust, professionally designed for long duration of time, Provide faster and smoother continuous connectivity & it is sustainable to various environment outside and inside of the plant.
How our solutions helped the clients:
Creative infotech professionally had structured every cable and routed appropriately to designated places. Meticulously evaluted each end point to places access points and provided high quality equipment of network and wireless to make available 24/7 hours and a day connectivity in entire plant. Cables structures of network has been passing through many open and close environments hence organisation has been supported by 25years of passive performance warranty of entire structure. Also, the network has 10Gb upgradable backbone connectivity which will not create any downtime of Network communication in the plant.

Site Challenges:
It was a vast site to implement such a long fibre connectivity where many passing bay, undercrossing roads and passages were available for various communication of goods and internal usages of plant. It was hazardous area where highly standard of precaution was required of each person working there. Any mistake and wrong designed of structure can lead dangerous result and damages, only professionaly skilled and certified people were allowed to work and to implement in the plant and buildings. We have to implement solutions as per construction of the site, because it was vast area which was being built in phase by phase, department wise and requirements wise of manufacturing units.
Business Benefits
Definitely such a professionally implemented solutions would help in many ways in entire plant such as One window to monitor entire plant and offices, IT security has been implemented in a such way to get immediate alert of any threat impact to internal connectivity infrastructure. All backup and firmware would have been managed by single console to improve focus while working and to get better result. Multi vendor management system has been installed to provide stress free working related departments. Each network device and equipment are insured and manageable whenever its required. Plant will not face any down time of network. Internal network is safe and protect to avoid any outside digital threats. Continues, smoother and faster network continuity is available in entire plant and buildings.
