Moulds, plastics, glass, packaging and agri-food: in Leiria, IT lives as much on the shop floor as in the office. Machining centres, injection moulding machines, scales, barcode scanners and production terminals share infrastructure with the ERP. - **Harsh environment:** Dust, heat and vibration constrain cabling and racks. - **Continuous operation:** Non-stop shifts mean interventions must fit into windows. - **Exporting customers:** The automotive and packaging sectors audit their suppliers. - **Two worlds in one building:** Office and factory with opposite needs. ## Which risks does an industrial network have to solve? ### Distance and physical protection Long halls, high temperatures near the machines and routes that rarely match the drawings. Cabling, fibre between buildings and racks need proper protection. ### Machines and people on the same network Without isolation, an infected workstation reaches production and an old, unpatched machine is left exposed. Here VLAN separation is a requirement. ### Downtime measured in output In a shift-based factory, an hour of network outage is lost production. That cost defines the redundancy to build and the response to contract. ### Proving security to third parties Suppliers to the automotive industry or large retail receive questionnaires and audits. Applying policies is not enough; they must be demonstrated in writing. ## Which network architecture do we recommend for a factory? A single infrastructure, managed from one point, with traffic divided into segments: production, office, visitors and video surveillance, with firewall rules between them. The ERP talks to the machines where it needs to, and nothing else crosses that boundary. ## Which managed services do we take on in Leiria and Marinha Grande? | Area | Scope | | --- | --- | | Network management | [Certified structured cabling](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/structured-cabling-installation/) for factory and office, Layer 3 switching, PoE and fibre between buildings. | | Industrial Wi-Fi | [Business Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/business-wifi-installation/) with a coverage survey, for terminals and scanners on the move. | | Managed firewalls | [Business firewall](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-firewall-services-portugal/), production/office segmentation and managed antivirus. | | Servers and data | Servers, virtualisation and [backups with tested](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-backup-services-portugal/), documented restores. | | Voice and video | [IP phone system](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-ip-pbx-portugal/) and CCTV for perimeter and halls. | | Ongoing support | Workstations and servers with remote, on-site and telephone support, for a fixed monthly fee with [IT Unlimited Premium](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-unlimited-premium-on-site-support/). | ## Which industrial projects have we already delivered?

DataRoad works in both, and the factory is where the difference shows. Networks in factory halls, connected machines, Wi-Fi for mobile terminals and scanners, and segmentation between production and office are routine work. Dust, heat and vibration are built into the cabling and rack design from the survey onwards, not after the first failure. ### Can you work without stopping production? Yes, almost always, as long as the work is planned with production. Anything that requires a network cut is done in an agreed window, at night, at the weekend or during a planned stop, announced in advance and always with a rollback plan. The aim is for shifts not to notice the change and for nothing to be left half-done at the next start-up. ### Do you help answer customers' security questionnaires? Yes, we put the measures in place and deliver the documentation that exporting customers ask for. That includes a backup policy with restore tests, access management, network segmentation, an incident log and a recovery plan. Suppliers to the automotive and large retail sectors use these documents to answer questionnaires and audits without improvising. ### Is a head office in Alfragide a problem for support in Leiria? No, the Alfragide head office does not slow down the response, because most incidents are resolved immediately by remote access. Monitoring detects many problems before they affect operations. When someone needs to be on site, travel is part of the unlimited on-site support in the Premium and Premium 365 plans; Essential is remote and phone only. ### How much does it cost and how is it paid? [IT Unlimited](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-unlimited-premium-on-site-support/) sets a monthly fee for a defined scope, with no counting of calls: Essential from €395, Premium from €750 and Premium 365 from €1,200 per month + VAT. The contract runs for one year, renews automatically and has no tie-in. Cabling or Wi-Fi projects are quoted separately. ### What happens if the network fails in the middle of a shift? Monitoring detects the failure and the team responds immediately, first by remote access and, if needed, on site, on plans that include on-site support. Redundancy is sized in the project from the cost of one hour of downtime. For night shifts, weekends and public holidays, only Premium 365 guarantees 24/7 support and monitoring. ## Projects managed by DataRoad - **Higher education:** [Forward College: network and support on the Lisbon campus](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/forward-college-lisbon-campus-wifi/) - **Public sector:** [SSAP: 56 Wi-Fi 7 points in three buildings](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/ssap-wifi-7-structured-cabling-public-buildings/) - **Multinationals:** [ReStream: Wi-Fi 6, firewall and redundant internet with failover in Cascais](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/restream-cascais-network-case-study/) · [Reltio by SAP: IT Unlimited at the Lisbon office](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/reltio-sap-apple-dell-cisco-meraki-lisbon/) - **Hospitality:** [LX Arch Hotel: Wi-Fi 7 and CCTV on Rua Augusta](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/lx-arch-hotel-wifi-7-cctv-lisbon/) · [Ouro Rossio Hotel: network, Wi-Fi and video surveillance](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/ouro-rossio-hotel-wifi-cctv-managed-network/) - **Healthcare:** [Clínica Lambert in Corroios](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/clinica-lambert-corroios-managed-network/) · [Clínica Mulher: Wi-Fi 7 in the Twin Towers](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/clinica-mulher-clinic-network-wifi-7/) [All success stories](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/case-studies/). ## Other regions - [Managed networks and IT in Coimbra](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-coimbra-central-portugal/) - [MSP for Braga businesses](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-braga-minho/) - [Managed networks in Porto](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-porto/) - [IT consulting](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-consulting-diagnosis-before-investment/) - [Managed IT in Setúbal](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/setubal-msp-managed-networks-industry/) - [Business networks in Cascais](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-cascais/) - [MSP in the Algarve](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-faro-algarve/) ## Next step: a no-commitment proposal We work exclusively under IT Unlimited contracts, directly with the end client; we do not do one-off interventions or sell standalone equipment.
