Ensuring the Uptime of Your Wireless Network
For AGV and AS/RS Systems
Automated material handling (AMH) systems are expected to keep booming in the coming years thanks to developing trends in e-commerce and smart factories. Among the AMH market segments, automated guided vehicles (AGV) have the highest potential for growth (CAGR 9.3%*) followed by automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) (CAGR 7.7%*), in the 4-year period from 2019 to 2024*.
AGV and AS/RS systems are considered “mission-critical” assets. An unstable wireless signal could easily disrupt the operation of these systems. To ensure continuous operation, a reliable wireless solution with seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and easy network management is an absolute must.

Simplified
Network Management
MXview
Wireless gives you a clear view of your AGV and AS/RS systems wireless
network through the visual interface from which you can view the real-time
network topology and the network status dashboard. Moreover, whenever
there is an anomaly, the system will send out an alert automatically. You are can also playback the roaming history to identify and solve the root cause
and get your systems running normally again as
quickly
as possible. | |
Reliable
Networks for Mobile Operations
To
ensure continuous AGV operations, our AWK Series AP/bridge/clients feature Turbo Roaming technology to achieve
millisecond-level handoffs. Moreover, the unique MAC Clone function can be
enabled on all the AWK Series to support PROFINET communication over
wireless networks. Some AWK Series also supports the unique
AeroMag technology which automatically performs basic wireless setup
when adding new Wi-Fi devices to the network, reducing the time
spent configuring Wi-Fi settings and preventing errors caused by manual
input. | |
Compact
but Rugged
The
AWK Series wireless clients are small yet strong and come with built-in isolation
for both power and antenna ports to protect against interference and noise.
All AWK Series devices undergo rigorous testing to ensure suitability for environments
with extreme vibration. Moreover, with a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C, the AWK Series wireless products are deployable in cold-storage warehouses. |
