Warehouse Wi-Fi & RF Readiness
Mobile robots, scanners and connected equipment all depend on the wireless network behaving the same way in every aisle, at every shift. We assess whether yours does, from measured evidence.
What it looks at
The network, and the building it runs in.
Coverage
Signal where the equipment actually travels, including racking, dock and mezzanine areas.
Roaming
Whether moving devices hand off between access points without dropping their connection.
Capacity
Headroom for the devices you have now and the ones automation would add.
Interference
Sources of RF noise and obstruction that change with stock levels, equipment and shifts.
Connected equipment
Connectivity needs of robots, scanners, vehicle terminals and other connected devices.
Facility and power
The building and electrical conditions that affect where and how the network can be extended.
Evidence
Measured, not assumed.
A wireless finding needs measurement behind it. We work from an RF survey of the areas in scope: a recent one you already have, or one Layer8 Tech Group carries out as a separate, quoted engagement.
Results are judged against Layer8's working thresholds, which are pending expert review. We'll show you which ones were applied to your site.
What the result means
A result about your network, and only your network.
A clean wireless result tells you the network isn't the thing that will stall the project. It isn't a robotics readiness level, and it doesn't mean the site is ready for robots.
Result bands for this assessment: [being defined]
What you receive
- Wireless readiness scorecard with supported findings and explicit unknowns
- Evidence register tracing each finding to the survey data or document behind it
- Gaps and risks, with critical issues leading
- Executive summary for the people funding the decision
Report formats are being finalized with our first pilot clients.
If you go further
If you go on to a full Automation Readiness Assessment, we reuse the evidence you've already supplied, so you aren't asked for it twice.
If the network needs work, Layer8 Tech Group designs and installs wireless and cabling. You're free to use anyone.
