I would like to thank Soitron for the excellent, professional, and, most importantly, successful cooperation on the project in Boom, Belgium. In this location we have a new warehouse that required various tasks, including the installation and commissioning of the internal network, infrastructure design, and hardware supply. Communication with Soitron IT specialists was professional, fast and friendly. They had the whole project well thought out and prepared. They successfully completed all the required work and were willing to help with things above and beyond their duties, which I greatly appreciate.

Background

The European branch of HD Hyundai Infracore Europe s.r.o. oversaw the construction of a new warehouse in Boom, Belgium. As part of the project, they were looking for a reliable IT partner to deliver the network infrastructure. We were successful in the tender procedure, which made it possible for us to help them build a warehouse from scratch. We provided our technological and consulting services to the customer.

Project implementation process

At the beginning of the project, we developed the network infrastructure design and topology. With our extensive experience in similar projects, we were able to recommend the most optimal installation of switches, access points (APs), and cabling to the customer. The installation plan included a very detailed description of the component layout in a warehouse of approximately 25,000 square metres.

For the best possible Wi-Fi signal coverage, we proposed installing APs with directional antennas within the warehouse, which are specifically designed to cover narrow spaces between high racks. For open spaces such as offices we recommended standard APs.  We took the same careful approach when selecting switches to cover two server rooms and the entire warehouse.

We also integrated their automated Kardex Shuttle warehouse system into the warehouse spaces via the network infrastructure and developed an IP plan and network segmentation according to customer’s requirements.

We supplied the customer with both the infrastructure and terminal devices. We equipped the warehouse with barcode scanners and the offices with laptops.

In this international project, we also collaborated with other subcontractors. We communicated with a Belgian cabling company and the telecommunications company AT&T as the MPLS service provider. As part of consultations, we also helped the customer select a solution from an internet provider in Belgium.
