A network you can see
LMI maps your network and draws the diagram, even when none exists.

Case study · Network Refresh
Network refresh across five factories
Agro-industrial group
Digital transformation toward smart factories
Luzon and the Visayas, Philippines
Overview
A large Philippine agro-industrial group is digitalizing its factories, working toward smart factories. Between 2023 and 2026 it engaged LMI to refresh the network at five of its factories.
LMI mapped the networks, designed a structured replacement and rebuilt it, migrating in the evenings while the plants kept running.
5factories
8new backbone links at one factory
20distribution points traced and documented at one factory
Before
- Old, unstructured network
- Fiber and cabling unlabeled and poorly maintained
- Frequent broadcast storms
- No network diagram to work from
After
- A mapped, structured and labeled network
- No more broadcast storms
- Faster internet access
- Faults easier to trace and resolve
On recordClient acceptance recorded at all five factories.
Before and after points are reported by the LMI project team.
How LMI solved it
1Map
Mapped each network and drew the diagram from scratch.
2Design
Designed a structured layout to resolve the faults.
3Build
Fiber backbone, managed switching, structured cabling and UPS power.
4Migrate and prove
Cut over in the evenings, then tested the fiber and network and signed off.
Site challenge
- 1No diagram existed to start from.
- 2Existing fiber was unlabeled: 20 distribution points to trace and tag at one factory.
- 3Work at height and inside plant process areas.
- 4The plants run around the clock.
On site
Verified at handover
- Fiber continuity, OTDR and fiber-loss tests passed
- End-to-end connectivity confirmed
- Stable network with no abnormal packet loss
- All eight new backbone links complete at the broadest-scope factory
- Fiber routes retraced, verified and documented
On recordClient acceptance recorded at all five factories, 2023 to 2026.
What you get with LMI
Digital transformation requires solid infrastructure.
Every new system depends on the infrastructure beneath it. LMI builds that foundation so your team can find it, maintain it and trust it.
Fits your production
Cutover happens in the evenings, outside office hours, to avoid disrupting operations.
ProofThe plants run around the clock.
Faults you can find and fix
Labeled cables and an up-to-date diagram mean a fault can be traced and resolved.
ProofCables labeled; diagram drawn from scratch.
Confidence at handover
Fiber is tested, routes are documented, and your team signs the acceptance test before handover.
ProofSigned acceptance at all five factories.
Also from LMIThe rest of the infrastructure a digital operation runs on: Fiber optic cabling · Structured copper cabling · Core switching · Managed firewall and Wi-Fi · Managed CCTV · Access control and turnstiles · Lightning protection · Electrical works · Turnkey infrastructure projects
