geometry. In this way, inventories can be created quickly and used within a ray tracing software
to estimate the radio environment of machine workspaces as part of the planning process. Delay
spread is an important metric in assessing the performance of wireless technologies. Predicted 5G
cyber-physical systems in workplaces will require high-density use of wirelessly connected machineto-machine RF modules. In workshops, the surfaces and edges of machines, shelves, and furniture
influence the multipath/power delay profile of the space. However, with the fast construction pace and
high occupancy of buildings, it is impractical to characterise the location as building work progresses.
Consequently, it becomes more probable that the radio communication system deployed will perform
suboptimally. In this work, the Wi-Fi band was investigated. In addition, representative simulations were
also carried out at millimetre wave frequencies of 28 GHz and 60 GHz.
