The problem

What's actually breaking.

Distribution centers are wireless-hostile by design. Tall racking, dense product, polished concrete, refrigerant lines, and constant motion all conspire to break the signal. Add 300 scanners, 80 forklifts, and an AMR fleet, and your peak-hour traffic looks nothing like what the original Wi-Fi design assumed.

What we see in the field
  • Scanner-uplink dead zones at the far ends of aisles that nobody can quite map
  • Throughput degradation during peak that doesn't show on the vendor dashboard
  • Forklift-mounted devices roaming poorly because nothing was tuned for 15 mph
  • AMR pilots stalling because the connectivity layer can't be trusted
How we help

Engineering that respects the operations.

We treat the building as the design driver. We measure during peak, not at 2 a.m. We design around dynamic obstructions, racking depth, and seasonal product mix. Where the device population justifies it, we bring in private cellular for mobile assets and keep Wi-Fi focused on what it's good at.
