WLAN for warehouses / industrial WLAN
Why WLAN is indispensable in the warehouse
AVAILABILITY AT ANY TIMEThe basic prerequisite for modern and efficient logistics is that suitable technologies are available – especially in the area of intralogistics. However, seamless networking in the warehouse, which would ensure smooth operation, requires certain conditions. And this is where WLAN, or the use of network technology, comes into play.
These are the prerequisites, but at the same time also the weaknesses of all logistics processes – after all, forklift trucks must be networked, mobile scanners must be available at all times and machines that rely on real-time information about stock levels must be controlled.
Special requirements for WLAN technologies in the warehouse
EVEN UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONSWLAN technology in a warehouse cannot be compared with WLAN access in buildings or enclosed spaces. In warehouses, factors such as cold, heat and humidity can impair functionality. It is also common for employees to frequently move between indoor and outdoor areas when working in the warehouse – which is not necessarily conducive to a stable network connection. Therefore, only WLAN solutions designed for the industrial sector should be used for a warehouse. The so-called Industry Access Points are distributed at many individual points and allow a network connection even under adverse conditions.
Tips for reliable WLAN in the warehouse:
- Stable data transmission for reliable order picking
- Professional radio illumination including documentation
- Industrial hardware
- Everything from a single source – just one point of contact
- Consideration of the existing infrastructure
- Shared configuration – after all, it’s your WLAN network
- Central management and monitoring of access points for complete control
- Many years of experience in this special field

Fast and trouble-free:If you need optimum WLAN reception in your company, we are exactly the right partner for you. We work with you to determine your needs, analyze your specific requirements and highlight the optimum WLAN coverage for your business premises.
Determining your requirements
Which areas of your premises are relevant and need to be optimally supplied? What is your company’s usage behavior and for which processes is wireless transmission required? The interaction of the factors relevant to a WLAN, such as signal field strength, signal-to-noise ratio and interference, determines whether radio-controlled, intralogistics work can be carried out. A site survey analysis is the first step in ensuring optimum and seamless coverage across the entire area of your company. We are also happy to advise you on the selection of a suitable WLAN standard.

To ensure that you achieve optimum signal coverage, we determine in advance which and how many devices need to be installed inside and outside your building. A site survey analysis is the first step in ensuring this seamless coverage across the entire area of your company. The aim is to determine the optimum positioning of the transmitting and receiving station (access point) – taking into account the lowest possible material costs. The measurement – the site survey analysis – is carried out with the help of special software. The result of this analysis is detailed documentation containing all relevant information for the installation and analysis of the WLAN.
However, we go one step further: even after the consultation, in which we determine the appropriate WLAN standard and the type of access points, and after the site survey analysis, which shows the number of access points and their position, we will of course continue to support you. Talk to us and for an optimal connection. We will be happy to advise you!
