Challenge 3

The number of terminals such as AGV trolleys is high, but the connection is unstable.

Results

Scenario Replication, Exploring Demands for Wi-Fi Networks in Automated Warehousing

With the increase in the number of terminals and innovations in AGV equipment applications, the demand for wireless networks has increased. AGV equipment improves efficiency and reduces costs, requiring a highly reliable Wi-Fi network. FS optimizes AP placement with site survey maps for optimal wireless coverage.
Combined Omni-Directional and Directional APS Meet All User Needs

FS deployed both omni-directional and directional APs in the warehouse for signal coverage. AP-T567 was used for shelving areas and AP-N505/N515 for AGV and office areas to lower costs. AC+AP networking achieved seamless switching for uninterrupted business operations and reliable data transmission.
