Need industrial network upgrade.

Currently using wifi in a metal working environment. The equipment is cnc electrical discharge machines. These use a spark in an oil bath to erode metals. The problem is the spark acts as a broad band transmitter. It messes with wifi , or any radio frequency. We use roll around carts as cad viewing stations. Sometimes the files are large, and the wifi is a bit slow. Getting some new metal working machines soon. Would like to see wired viewing stations for cad drawings. Perhaps even built into the new cnc machines. Was thinking cat6 shielded cable. Not sure if fiber is needed.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
