Manufacturing OT
Plant Wi-Fi designed for scanners and mobile devices that move through racking, metal and changing inventory.
Warehouse and plant environments are full of signal killers: steel racking, high ceilings, refrigeration units, moving equipment and loaded inventory that changes by the day. A heat map shows actual signal strength at device height along the aisles, so access points are placed where they are needed and not where the ceiling makes it easy. Without it, barcode scanners and forklift-mounted terminals drop sessions, forcing users to re-enter work or lose scans.
Plant wireless
Signal strength is validated at device height with the handhelds operators actually carry, so barcode scanners and vehicle terminals keep their session through every aisle.
Barcode scanners and vehicle-mounted terminals have different radios and roaming behavior than laptops. A design that looks good on a laptop survey can fail for handhelds. We validate with the same devices operators carry, moving at the same speeds they move.
Production scanners, AGVs, visitor devices, voice and office traffic should not share the same wireless space. We separate them with SSIDs, VLANs and bandwidth controls so a warehouse employee's phone does not compete with a scan that posts inventory to ERP.
Common questions
After any major racking change, seasonal inventory shift, or when new devices are introduced. A static design is usually wrong within a year in a busy warehouse.
Sometimes — power, channel, antenna and orientation changes can fill gaps. But in many cases, especially in high racking or long aisles, adding an AP is the honest fix.
