Networks that work, everywhere, all the time!
High ceilings, large surface areas, airtight materials, obstacles... Warehouses and factories generally present very complex environments (in terms of WiFi bandwidth transmission) requiring proven technological expertise coupled with extensive field experience to ensure perfect WiFi network management.
Therefore, the on-site radio coverage survey is an unavoidable step to audit the environment in real conditions, define the location of the WiFi AP's, and design the architectural basis of the network.
Wifirst, with its team of WiFi auditors, its internally developed application, and its unique methodology, offers the highest level of expertise in the market. Our teams rely on the experience of several thousand deployed and operated sites to develop best practices, adapted to each technical constraint. The intelligence linked to the radio coverage survey is at the heart of Wifirst's offer and constitutes a real differentiation.
In recent years, industrial sites have undergone an intense digital transformation. Their activity has become inseparable from wireless connectivity, which is an incredible productivity driver for employees.
A reliable and high-performance WiFi network is essential for the functioning of business terminals (handhelds, tablets, etc.) to be able to communicate with software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). These tools are now at the heart of industrial and logistics activities, enabling the management of orders, shipments, stock management and much more.
The wireless infrastructure can also be used as a gateway to remotely control machines, such as overhead cranes, which are widely used in the industrial environment.
After the adoption of WiFi and Bluetooth in warehouses and factories for mobile working, it is now the turn of industrial IoT technologies to take off for:
Wifirst deploys converged wireless infrastructures allowing WiFi and IoT functions to be grouped around the same hardware, thus generating significant savings in deployment and maintenance.
Faced with the criticality of WiFi in warehouses and industry, Wifirst relies on technical and human resources, as well as industrialised maintenance processes, to ensure the best quality of service on the market.
In order to establish a real relationship of trust, we make contractual commitments to our clients, in particular with regard to :

No. In order to offer the best network installation costs, Wifirst offers to provide WiFi equipment for your warehouse. The rapid evolution of new technologies means that there is no real interest in investing yourself. The network equipment remains the property of Wifirst, which will maintain it throughout the duration of the contract.
In most cases, in order to guarantee an optimal quality of service, the integration teams carry out a complete redeployment and certify all the cabling necessary for the proper functioning of the WiFi system.
As for each of our WiFi installations, before any intervention by our teams, an audit is carried out in order to establish specifications. Once validated, our technicians proceed with the cabling phase, which they carry out either in parallel with the company's activity or at night so as not to disturb users. They use aerial platforms to be able to work at height for the connection between the computer cabinets and the access points. All our technicians are Caces holders and are qualified to work on electrical installations. The installation time depends strongly on the type of site and the complexity of the deployment.
Of course! Wifirst's philosophy is to offer multi-service networks that will support your logistic and industrial activities. We create SSIDs and VLANs partitioned from each other for your different uses. Now, with the rise of converged networks, we deploy equipment capable of hosting both WiFi and IoT uses.
A leader in innovative WiFi and Fibre connectivity solutions since 2002, Wifirst is trusted by thousands of customers across Europe to provide high-quality, robust networks.
