Modern manufacturing plant production line with machinery and overhead lighting

ICT, ELV and Security Systems for Industrial & Manufacturing Sites

MTT designs, installs and maintains the cabling, networks, surveillance, access control and safety monitoring that production sites in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia rely on — engineered around plant conditions, shift patterns and planned shutdowns.

Manufacturing sites rarely fail because of one dramatic incident. They lose time to a network segment that drops when the line runs, a camera that cannot see the area an investigation needs, an access door that has been propped open for months, or a contractor who cannot be accounted for during an evacuation.

MTT (My Telecom Technology) works on production floors, utility rooms, yards and warehouses where dust, heat, vibration and electrical noise all shape what will actually survive. The design starts from the plant, not from a product catalogue.

On a typical site the architecture sits in layers: structured cabling and fibre backbones link production buildings, substations and gatehouses; a segmented network carries CCTV, access control, time and attendance and Wi-Fi on VLANs kept apart from process-control traffic; a hardened comms or control room houses the switching, recorders and UPS behind protected power; and CCTV, access control and AI analytics feed the same control-room workstation so an alarm, a door event and a camera view arrive together instead of in three different systems.

What we are asked to solve

The operational problems behind most industrial & manufacturing enquiries.

Network drops that stop production

Poorly terminated cabling, undersized switching, and wireless coverage designed for an empty building instead of a loaded one. Faults are intermittent, so they are hard to prove and easy to live with — until a line stops.

Blind spots in surveillance

Cameras positioned for general reassurance rather than for identifiable evidence at loading bays, weighbridges, stores, high-value areas and gates.

Uncontrolled access to plant areas

Shared keys and unmanaged doors, no record of who entered a restricted area, and contractor movement that cannot be reconstructed after an incident.

Attendance and contractor accounting

Manual timekeeping across shifts, and no reliable muster list when the alarm sounds.

Safety compliance under pressure

PPE rules that depend entirely on supervision, in areas where supervision cannot be everywhere at once.

Systems nobody owns

Undocumented installations left by several contractors over the years, with no as-built records, no labelling and no clear maintenance responsibility.

Comparing quotations that are not comparable

Tenders returned against different assumptions on cabling category, camera counts, retention and scope of works, so the lowest number and the right number are rarely the same figure.

MTT capabilities in this sector

Systems we design, install, test and maintain.

Structured cabling

Cat6/Cat6A horizontal cabling, containment and labelled patching sized for plant conditions and future expansion.

View service →

Network infrastructure & Wi-Fi

Switching, VLAN segmentation, firewalls and wireless coverage designed for loaded racking, machinery and metal structures.

View service →

Fibre-optic backbones

Fibre between production buildings, substations and gatehouses where copper distances and electrical noise rule out UTP.

View service →

CCTV & video surveillance

Camera and lens selection for identification at the points that matter, with recording, retention and control-room review.

View service →

AI video analytics

Restricted-zone and PPE monitoring on existing cameras, raising events for supervision rather than replacing it.

View service →

Access control

Controlled doors and turnstiles for plant, stores, server rooms and offices, with auditable records and visitor handling.

View service →

Time & attendance

Shift capture for employees and contractors, integrated with access control where the site wants a single credential.

View service →

UPS & critical power

Protected power for network rooms, recorders and control equipment so a dip does not become a data loss.

View service →

Server room & control room fit-out

Racking, containment, cooling coordination and monitoring for the room that hosts plant switching, recorders and servers.

View service →

Annual maintenance contracts

Planned preventive visits and corrective response, scheduled around production and shutdown windows.

How the work is delivered

Survey to maintenance, documented at every step.

  1. Step 01
    Site survey

    An engineer attends site, records existing infrastructure, distances, containment, power and constraints, and agrees the operational objective with the people who will use the system.

  2. Step 02
    Design

    Layouts, schematics, equipment schedules and a bill of quantities are produced so the scope and the assumptions behind it are visible before anything is ordered.

  3. Step 03
    Supply

    Equipment is procured against the approved design, with lead times and any substitution agreed in writing rather than decided on site.

  4. Step 04
    Installation

    MTT field teams install to the approved drawings, with structured containment, labelled cabling and coordination around live operations and permit requirements.

  5. Step 05
    Testing & commissioning

    Cabling is tested, systems are configured and functional tests are witnessed and recorded so the delivered performance is documented, not assumed.

  6. Step 06
    Documentation

    As-built drawings, schedules, test results, configuration records and asset lists are handed over as the basis for future changes and maintenance.

  7. Step 07
    Training

    Operators and site technicians are trained on day-to-day use, routine checks and the correct escalation route.

  8. Step 08
    Maintenance

    Preventive and corrective cover under an annual maintenance contract keeps the system supported, with an agreed scope and spares position.

Work around production

Cutovers, cable pulls and hot works are planned against shift patterns, permit-to-work and shutdown windows agreed with the site.

Environment-appropriate hardware

Enclosures, glands, containment and camera housings are chosen for the dust, washdown, temperature and vibration of the specific area.

Deliverables at handover

As-built cabling and containment drawings, camera and device schedules, IP address and VLAN records, test and commissioning certificates, an asset register and operator training sign-off — the pack a plant engineer needs to run the system without calling the installer.

Lifecycle and AMC coverage

An annual maintenance contract sets planned visits around shutdown windows, defined response times for faults that affect production, spares holding for camera and access-control hardware, and firmware and configuration review so the system does not quietly drift out of support.

Documented handover

Labelling schedules, as-builts, test results and an asset register so the next change does not start with a rediscovery exercise.
