“…The company boasts a comprehensive facility, including a foundry situated directly on the production premises in Zlín, enabling them to cover all stages of machine development and production, starting from mechanical drawing, designing, production of models and castings, their treatment and machining, and up to the final assembly. From the perspective of wireless communication, the factory environment presents challenging conditions for data transmission, characterized by factors such as multipath propagation, noise, and a high volume of moving people [ 28 ]. These factors contribute to a rich environment for assessing the performance of wireless networks in real-world industrial settings.…”

In the evolving landscape of Industry 4.0, the integration of advanced wireless technologies into manufacturing processes holds the promise of unprecedented connectivity and efficiency. In particular, the data transmission in a heavy industry environment needs stable connectivity with mobile operators. This paper deals with the performance study of 4G and 5G mobile signal coverage within a complex factory environment. For this purpose, a cost-effective and portable measurement setup was realized and used to provide long-term measurement campaigns monitoring and recording several key parameter indicators (KPIs) in 4G/5G downlink and upload. To support the reproducibility of the provided study and other research activities, the measured dataset is publicly available for download. Among others findings, the obtained results show how the performance of 4G/5G is influenced by a heavy industry environment and of the time of day on the network load.
