How Can Your Production Facility Benefit From a NetCov Signal Booster
At NetCov, we aim to get you the best signal possible through our boosters. A strong signal is crucial for production facilities to stay ahead of competitors. Enhanced cellular connectivity can help you automate and optimise processes to implement cost-savings, improve safety and enable real-time communication.
Here are some of the main reasons why we believe a good phone signal is required for production facilities:
- Improved communication. Our signal boosters ensure you can communicate with everyone on-site and off-site in your production facility. Providing improved phone signals can increase efficiency in the workplace and boost productivity.
- Enhances work. Boosting your cell signal can increase communication across your production plant. Mobile boosters ensure no work is missed and everything can be completed by the deadline.
- Allows for more automation. Improving connectivity in your production facility allows your team to automate more functions and processes, saving your business time and money. For example, through Automated Batch Control Systems.
- Increases safety. Phone boosters for production facilities can enhance the safety of security systems and fire alarms, as some of these systems rely on a mobile backup. This creates a safer working environment for your employees. Additionally, if there’s an emergency, better connectivity means staff can quickly place a call, reducing response time.
- Less risk of dead zones. Production plants and facilities are usually built with materials that cause dead zones, such as concrete and metal. Signal boosters help decrease the dead zones in your production facility and keep you constantly connected.
- Compliments Wi-Fi. Using mobile signal boosters for production facilities ensures the best in-building mobile connectivity, complementing existing WiFi solutions.
- Faster internet and more stable connectivity. Using proper signal solutions in your production facility ensures that temporary technical difficulties with your WiFi do not interfere with your work in your production facility.
- Offer a better experience to visitors. Signal boosters can help visitors make important calls, allowing them to make faster business decisions.
NetCov offers complete installation, ongoing maintenance and specialist advice tailored to the manufacturing and production industry. We offer a bespoke solution to solve your connectivity needs.
How Do Signal Boosters Work in Production Facilities?
What Affects Mobile Phone Signal Strength in Production Facilities?
Several factors can affect mobile phone signal strength in production facilities, including:
- Construction materials. Production facilities, factories and plants are often constructed from dense materials, such as reinforced concrete and steel, and have thick walls which tend to block mobile signals. Foil-backed insulation can also reflect signals and reduce connectivity.
- The size of the facility. Many production plants are large structures with high ceilings, meaning signal strength might decrease the further you enter the building.
- Underground spaces. If your production facility has a basement or underground space, it’s likely that the signal will be very weak there or non-existent.
- Location. Some production facilities are located in remote areas far away from cell phone towers which can have a negative effect on connectivity.
- Nearby hills or other obstructions. Mountains, trees or tall buildings can reduce cell phone connectivity. Large production machinery or high storage racks inside the facility can also reduce signal strength.
How Do Signal Boosters Improve Poor Mobile Signal in Production Facilities?
Our cell phone boosters work by picking up your desired network (such as EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and many others) and amplifying this signal in the places where you need it the most, such as underground spaces or the areas of your facility with poor reception. With our commercial boosters, you can have multiple devices set up to ensure no dead zones within your production facility and that everyone can stay connected at all times.

Do I Need WiFi and a Strong Cellular Connection?
WiFi can be an incredibly useful tool in production facilities, but it does not negate the need for better cellular connectivity. A combination of WiFi and a strong mobile phone signal is the best way to improve communication and increase productivity in your production facility.
Here are some of the main advantages of supporting WiFi with a mobile signal booster:
A cellular connection is more secure than WiFi.
Visitors can easily place calls and connect to the internet without logging in.
There is less interference and fewer network issues.
This combination ensures seamless connectivity throughout your facility.

Phone Signal Boosters for Production Facilities FAQs
Production facilities generally receive poor phone signals due to their building materials, which either block or significantly weaken the signal for the receiver. Materials such as glass, concrete and metals, usually used to build production facilities, block the user from receiving the best signal inside the warehouse. Other contributing factors include location, weather, heavy cellular traffic and more.
If your production plant has poor connectivity, improving it should be a priority to enhance communication, boost productivity and streamline production processes. At NetCov, we offer high-quality mobile signal boosters that are designed to improve connectivity by amplifying existing signals.
Yes, a signal-boosting system can be a cost-effective way to improve connectivity in your production facility. However, installation costs will vary depending on the size of your facility, the number of buildings and your exact requirements. The initial investment required will quickly become worthwhile due to the many benefits of increased connectivity.
At NetCov, we offer a free initial consultation, including a site visit if required, and a free price estimate which covers complete installation and ongoing maintenance. So, if you are interested in improving your facility’s connectivity please get in touch with our team.
No – our phone and data signal boosters for production facilities will not interfere with WiFi signals.
Investing in a signal-boosting system for your production facility can help your employees communicate with each other more efficiently and quickly identify and resolve any issues with the production line.
Signal boosters can provide a stable cellular connection that covers every corner of your facility, regardless of size. Providing better connectivity can boost workplace productivity and allow you to optimise and automate important processes. It can also improve health and safety, as staff can rely on a strong phone cell signal to contact emergency services if there’s an incident.
Several devices and systems can benefit from enhanced cellular connectivity in production facilities, including:
- Industrial IoT (IIoT) Sensors, such as temperature and pressure sensors
- Machine condition monitoring devices
- Robotic Systems and Cobots
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
- RFID tags and barcode scanners
- Air quality sensors
- GPS trackers
- Machine-to-machine (M2M) Communication Devices
- Predictive Maintenance Systems
- Automated Sorting and Packaging Systems
