Project# 05641
Low-latency WiFi network
AGV/Robotics Project
Client brief
Our client required the deployment of around 80 automated picking robots in their distribution centre to improve operational efficiency. These robots would operate within a specific zone in the larger warehouse. To operate smoothly and reliably, each robot would need to maintain a constant wireless connection to avoid triggering fail-safe mechanisms that would cause it to stop moving. The network would need to handle variability, with as few as one or as many as 40 robots in a particular area. While in use, each robot would require continuous high Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and guaranteed sub-2-millisecond latency.
