Keeping Bodmin's production lines moving
On the Cooksland and Walker Lines estates, an outage doesn't just slow people down — it stops the line and stalls orders. We build IT, connectivity and phones with the resilience a town built on its A30 logistics position needs.
Bodmin's position on the A30 has made it a natural home for manufacturing, distribution and logistics, much of it on the Cooksland and Walker Lines estates. These are businesses where the office, the warehouse and the floor all depend on systems that stay up — and where moving goods through central Cornwall means a dropped connection costs real money. We design IT and comms around that hard reality, not around a quiet office.
Connectivity built to stay up
A factory or distribution floor is a punishing environment for IT — dust, distance and machinery between you and a clean signal. We design and install structured cabling and Wi-Fi that holds up where standard kit struggles, then size the right connectivity, up to a dedicated leased line with 4G failover, so the ERP, stock and dispatch systems your operation rides on stay connected even when the main line wobbles.
Remote monitoring, planned visits
Most of what keeps a logistics or production network healthy we do remotely — proactive monitoring that flags a failing switch or a creeping fault before it stops dispatch, and secure remote access to fix it on the spot. Installs, cabling and audits are planned visits rather than daily call-outs. Cobalt has been with Multipanel UK as they grew into an international, multi-site, sixty-million-pound business, so we know what a growing operation needs from its IT.
Local to Bodmin
Bodmin is about 80 minutes from our Exeter base, close enough for us to be there in person when it matters and set up to handle most things securely online.
What we handle
What Bodmin manufacturing businesses come to us for
Downtime stops the line
When systems go down, production and dispatch stop with them. We build in resilient connectivity, 4G failover and tested backups so an outage doesn't bring the whole operation to a halt.
Multi-site, joined up
Manufacturers often run office, warehouse and production across sites. We join them onto one phone system and one support model with resilient links, so the sites work as one operation.
Connectivity on the factory floor
A factory floor is a harsh environment for IT — dust, distance, machinery. We design and install cabling and Wi-Fi that gives you solid coverage where standard kit struggles.
Resilient connections
ERP, stock systems and cloud apps all ride on the connection. We size the right connectivity — up to a dedicated leased line — with failover, so the link your business runs on stays up.
Securing the operation
Manufacturers are an attractive target, and a breach can halt production. Cyber Essentials, monitoring and tested backups close off the common attacks and get you back up fast.
Phones across the whole site
Reception, the warehouse, the floor — people need to be reachable across a large site. A cloud phone system extends to every corner, on desk phones, mobiles and DECT handsets.

FAQs
Manufacturing IT support in Bodmin — your questions
Can you support a Bodmin manufacturer or distributor remotely?
Yes — proactive monitoring and secure remote access mean most issues on a production or dispatch network are caught and fixed without a visit, which matters when you're moving goods on a schedule. Cabling, installs and audits we plan in as on-site visits, but the day-to-day support is remote and quick.
How do you stop an outage halting production or dispatch?
We build resilience in: properly sized connectivity with 4G failover so the line keeps working, proactive monitoring that catches issues early, and tested backups so you recover fast. The aim is that a dropped connection doesn't bring the operation to a standstill.
How do you keep production from stopping when IT fails?

Can you support multiple sites as one operation?
Yes — we join your sites onto one phone system and one support model with resilient links between them, so office, warehouse and production work together. We supported Multipanel UK as they grew into an international, multi-site business.
Can you handle cabling and Wi-Fi on the factory floor?
We can — a factory floor is a harsh environment, and we design and install structured cabling and Wi-Fi to give you solid coverage where standard kit struggles. It's tested and certified so you know it performs.
