Integrated Computing and IT Passive Cabling Infrastructure Across Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) and Bangalore

Mapei Construction Products India Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of the global Mapei Group, operates high-performance manufacturing and technical facilities dedicated to construction chemicals, adhesives, sealants, and industrial flooring solutions. The company’s operations in Mathura and Bangalore rely heavily on accurate production data, technical formulation workflows, laboratory analysis, supply-chain coordination, and enterprise-level digital systems.

To ensure operational reliability and support its continued expansion in India, Mapei required a future-ready computing ecosystem and a robust passive cabling infrastructure engineered to support manufacturing environments, administrative operations, and technical laboratories.

Orchids Network & Systems (I) Pvt. Ltd. was selected to modernize the digital backbone across both locations, enabling stable connectivity, predictable performance, and seamless integration with Mapei’s global IT framework.

Project Objective

The objective was to deploy a standardized IT passive cabling system capable of supporting production data capture, ERP systems, laboratory equipment connectivity, quality-management workflows, and real-time coordination between manufacturing and administrative units. In addition to cabling modernization, Orchids was tasked with upgrading the computing layer to ensure consistent performance across departments and simplify long-term manageability.

The solution had to withstand the unique environmental challenges present in manufacturing units while supporting advanced digital workflows used by Mapei’s technical, logistics, and corporate teams.

High-Reliability Structured Cabling for Manufacturing and Corporate Zones

Orchids engineered a high-performance structured cabling architecture using CAT6A shielded copper to support device connectivity in administrative floors, production monitoring areas, technical labs, and warehouse operations. Shielding ensured resistance to electrical noise and equipment-driven interference commonly found in industrial environments.

Fiber backbone links were implemented across both Mathura and Bangalore facilities to connect communication rooms, plant-level control stations, testing labs, and IT administration zones. This provided stable, high-throughput communication critical for operations such as batch tracking, inventory systems, and formulation management workflows.

Cabling routes were designed with industrial-grade containment, appropriate separation distances, and controlled bend radii. Each installation was tested and certified according to TIA and ISO standards, ensuring long-term reliability and full alignment with Mapei’s global IT policies.

Computing Infrastructure Modernization for Business and Operational Workflows

Orchids deployed a standardized computing environment optimized for staff across production, R&D, quality control, logistics, procurement, sales, and administration. Workstations were configured for ERP access, technical software, plant data systems, and collaboration tools used companywide.

Backend computing structures were upgraded with optimized rack systems, structured patching, and enhanced thermal management. This ensured continuous availability, reduced system lag, and improved lifecycle stability for critical operational applications.

Computing environments were calibrated for manufacturing use cases where data accuracy, low downtime, and predictable performance are essential for process efficiency and quality compliance.

Unified Deployment Across Mathura and Bangalore

Orchids ensured identical engineering principles, documentation standards, and certification procedures across both cities. Deployments were scheduled in controlled phases to avoid interruptions in production, laboratory testing, and warehouse operations.

A centralized project office coordinated progress reviews, quality checks, configuration alignment, and compliance documentation, ensuring full operational continuity throughout the implementation.

Compliance, Documentation, and Audit-Readiness

All work was executed in alignment with Mapei’s audit frameworks, global IT guidelines, and local operational safety standards. Orchids delivered comprehensive as-built documentation including patch panel maps, rack layouts, fiber test reports, workstation configurations, and network segmentation guidelines.

This enabled fast maintenance, clear visibility into infrastructure pathways, and simplified audits for both internal and external compliance requirements.

Outcome and Measurable Impact

Mapei’s Mathura and Bangalore facilities now operate on a unified, resilient, and scalable technology backbone. Network stability improved significantly due to the optimized cabling architecture and fiber backbone integration. Application responsiveness for ERP, production monitoring, laboratory workflows, and supply-chain systems improved across departments.

The modernized computing environment enabled smoother operations, fewer technical disruptions, and improved user experience for employees. System reliability increased, reducing downtime, enhancing workflow continuity, and supporting Mapei’s overall production efficiency.

The upgraded infrastructure now supports Mapei’s ongoing modernization initiatives including Industry 4.0 readiness, digital quality tracking, predictive maintenance systems, and expanded production automation.

Why Mapei Partnered with Orchids Network & Systems

Mapei selected Orchids for its ability to engineer high-performance infrastructure in both administrative and industrial environments, its expertise in computing and passive cabling integration, and its commitment to delivering globally compliant, scalable solutions. Orchids’ precision-driven approach, detailed documentation processes, and disruption-free execution ensured a stable and future-ready digital foundation for Mapei’s Indian operations.
