Transcript of Wireless Technology in the Warehouse
RMS Omega understands the importance of optimizing wireless technology to effectively manage warehouse operations.
There are many red flags to indicate poor wireless connectivity:
Slow wireless transactions.
Employees being forced to use workarounds for data entry.
Wireless devices needing frequent rebooting.
The RMS Omega team has developed a 3-step process to help companies overcome these difficulties:
Step 1 is Site Mapping. This includes:
- Producing a heat map to show signal strength throughout the facility.- Identifying the location and type of wireless access points, power outlets and antenna information.
Wireless connectivity may be affected by:
Inadequate wireless capacity, likely due to sub-industrial strength technology.
Physical barriers, both fixed and moving.
Environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations.
Step 2: After collecting all of the data, the RMS team provides a complete analysis and recommendation.
Recommendations are based on what already works, what needs improvement, and the capacity, location and configuration of each access point.
The team also examines mobile devices used by warehouse workers.
Step 3 is Optimization: the implementation of recommended solutions.
This includes:
- Installing equipment such as access points and antennae to improve coverage.
A robust wireless infrastructure delivers excellent results including:
- Reliable, consistent wireless coverage when and where it is needed.
- Faster and stronger connectivity.
Scalability to accommodate future expansion or change of facility or product.
