This is NOT a good environment for wireless. All that electrical machinery can produce a lot of noise that can radiate even up to wireless frequencies.

In a number of Linux systems, you can get the wireless toolbar icon to display signal strength. If you see this bouncing up and down from minute to minute, that is an indication of interference. Closer ought to make things work better.
