In order for factories to perform their tasks efficiently and optimise production, automated material handling (AMH) systems, such as AS/RS and AGVs, need the flexibility to move around on their designated paths without obstruction, while maintaining constant communication with the control centre through a wireless network. Additionally, the control centre needs a reliable wireless network to monitor and control the AS/RS and AGV systems, as well as sufficient bandwidth to send data and instructions and receive data without delay, including live video recordings from the IP cameras installed in these systems.
Deploying a wireless network on a factory floor or in an automated warehouse is not an easy task and requires in-depth RF domain knowhow, and also some IT knowledge. However, understanding basic wireless principles and key challenges can go a long way in determining the success of the implementation. RJ Connect and Moxa are committed to providing easy to use and deploy radio equipment to help build efficient wireless networks for AS/RS and AGV systems.
Barcode evolution: The smart choice for modern tracking and compliance Part 2 TransLution Software
Industrial Wireless
RFID technology represents an exciting frontier in inventory tracking with its ability to eliminate the need for line-of-sight scanning. By using radio waves to transmit data wirelessly, RFID systems offer the tantalising possibility of simultaneous scanning of multiple items and real-time inventory visibility.

Industrial Wireless
Imagine a world without barcodes, where every item in a warehouse is manually recorded, checkout lines stretch endlessly, and supply chain tracking relies on handwritten logs. It sounds like a logistical nightmare, yet this is how businesses conducted business historically. Today, barcodes are so deeply embedded in modern operations that their impact often goes unnoticed.
