Requirement: Networking in Production Halls and Warehouses
The integration of production, warehousing and logistics into IT systems presents companies with a significant challenge. Operating conditions are harsh, physically tough and with high temperature variations. Furthermore, the applications and objects to be networked are often mobile and far from the nearest network socket.
Solution: Industrial WLAN from LANCOM
Industrial WLAN from LANCOM allows production facilities and warehouses to be networked flexibly and economically—even over extensive areas of open space. Systems and objects for networking are equipped with a WLAN client and communication with the LAN takes place via suitable access points. All of the components are highly robust and insensitive to outside influence.
- Inventory movements are automatically communicated to the ERP system via WLAN.
- Order picking is optimized and accelerated by WLAN-capable barcode scanners.
- Production systems are integrated into the wireless network for easier management.
- Measurement results are automatically returned to the system via WLAN.
- Machine and production data is compared to the planning system in realtime.
- Thanks to roaming, mobile objects remain integrated into the network even though they travel between multiple radio cells.
