Factory project questions, answered.

Practical starting points for IT, facilities, engineering and procurement teams.

Can NexPro-Link prepare a factory solution from architectural drawings?

Yes. Share the site plan, floor drawings and a short description of how each area will be used. We can help define zones, device locations, network architecture, room requirements and an equipment schedule. Survey findings, operating requirements and the agreed design scope are confirmed before the proposal becomes an installation plan.

What types of factories can you support?

We work from the needs of machining, electronics, automotive, food and cold-chain, textile, plastics, furniture, warehouse and multi-building industrial projects. Each needs different coverage, access, environmental and computing decisions. Tell us about the process and site conditions so we can identify the suitable infrastructure and any specialist interfaces.

Can you help plan a server room from an empty space?

Yes. Room dimensions, access, power and a preliminary equipment list are enough to start. We can help organize racks, equipment placement, patching, UPS/PDU requirements, cooling information and environmental monitoring. On-site construction, electrical work, air-conditioning installation, fire protection and acceptance are separately defined with the local team.

Can we reuse our existing cameras, switches, racks or cabling?

Often, but reuse follows a compatibility and condition review. Send models, firmware or platform details, cabinet dimensions, cable information and photographs. We check ports, power budgets, interfaces, recording support and capacity, then distinguish retained equipment from additions or replacements. We also plan around the permitted outage window.

Can you connect several factory buildings through fiber?

Yes. We can help plan a fiber backbone, building uplinks, optical modules, termination and local cabinets. Distances, existing ducts, fiber type, route availability, bandwidth and resilience requirements determine the configuration. Active Ethernet and a passive optical LAN are different options; both require a plan for powered equipment at their endpoints.

How do you plan Wi-Fi for workshops and warehouses?

We start with drawings, rack and machine heights, building materials, stock, client devices and roaming needs. These determine proposed AP locations and antenna choices. A site survey and validation under working conditions are needed to confirm coverage and capacity. Floor area alone cannot establish an AP count or performance guarantee.

How are office networks and production-related networks handled?

We define separate access policies for office IT, guests, video security, warehouse terminals and production-related equipment. The routing, segmentation and firewall design follows the required data flows. OT protocols, latency, availability and change windows must be coordinated with the machine or automation supplier. Our infrastructure scope does not automatically include machine control or automation programming.

Can you configure servers for our business applications and file storage?

Yes. Application-vendor specifications, users, concurrent workloads, file sizes and expected growth guide CPU, memory, storage and network choices. We also review backup, recovery and maintenance needs. Hardware, operating system, database, virtualization and application licensing are identified separately, along with any agreed software deployment assistance.

Should we use NVRs or a server-based video management system?

An NVR can suit a defined group of cameras within its channel, bandwidth, storage and compatibility limits. A server-based VMS can offer a suitable path for more complex operator workflows, multiple sites or expansion, depending on the platform. Compare required functions, licenses, storage operations, maintenance skills and lifetime scope before choosing.

How is video storage capacity calculated?

Start with the sum of camera recording bitrates, recording hours and retention days. Continuous recording at 1 Mbps produces approximately 10.8 GB per day in decimal units before overhead. Real design also considers variable bitrate, event recording, audio, filesystem overhead, usable capacity after disk redundancy, write performance and expansion. A retention plan does not replace an independent backup or archive policy.

What is the difference between a UPS and an energy storage solution?

A UPS is selected to protect agreed critical equipment against power disturbances and provide backup under its specified operating and transfer conditions. Commercial energy storage is configured around energy management and, where supported, backup goals. A storage system does not automatically provide the power quality or transfer behavior a critical IT load requires; a UPS may remain part of the design.

Can energy storage support factory loads during a power outage?

It can when the selected system supports the required islanded operation, protection and transfer arrangement. Check output kW, usable kWh, starting loads, load priority, supported operating modes and duration. Battery capacity alone is insufficient to promise operation of an entire factory or production line. Share the load list and distribution diagram for review.

Can the energy solution work with our existing solar installation?

Potentially. Share the inverter models, electrical diagram, solar generation data, site load profile and operating objective. The design must review AC/DC coupling, controls, protection, export constraints and local grid requirements. Existing solar equipment is not assumed compatible, and savings require actual tariff and consumption data.

Are software licenses and accessories included in the quotation?

The quotation identifies the agreed hardware, necessary accessories, software scope and support. VMS channels and features, operating systems, databases, hypervisors and application licenses are separate where applicable. Cables, optics, patching, mounting, rack accessories and spares are reviewed so the procurement list reflects a deployable system.

Can you supply our preferred brands at wholesale project prices?

Yes. Our technology and supply partners include H3C, IP-COM, Fanvil, TP-Link and Huawei. We review your preferred brands against the required models, available supply, compatibility, quantities and budget, then prepare wholesale or project-based pricing. Exact availability, regional terms and software scope are confirmed in the quotation.

Can we purchase only one system?

Yes. You can request a network upgrade, equipment-room package, security system, server configuration, UPS or energy-storage review on its own. We still check the interfaces and supporting accessories needed to connect that scope to your existing infrastructure. A complete factory project is also supported.

What drawings and information are needed for a proposal?

Start with a site or floor plan, project location, project stage and the systems you need. Device layouts, a BOQ, equipment inventories and photographs are useful if available. Workloads, camera retention, critical loads and energy information can follow as the relevant scope develops. Detailed specialist data is not a requirement for the first inquiry.

What support can you provide to our local installation team?

Depending on the agreed scope, we can supply equipment schedules, topology diagrams, rack layouts, interface notes and installation or configuration guidance. The quotation identifies remote support and any agreed site services. Local construction, electrical work, cooling, fire protection and acceptance responsibilities are confirmed before procurement.
