Scalable and mobile industrial network for Smart Factories and Warehouses
Warehouses and factory operation managers are always trying to be more productive and minimize expenses while maintaining a smooth flow of goods. As part of this, the efficient flow of goods in and out of the facility is critical.
While automation is now widely used to track assets and inventory, the movement of goods typically remains a highly manual process, with drivers moving machines around a facility as quickly and as safely as they can.
Communications systems for warehouses and factories typically include fixed infrastructure such as a WIFI connection, which factory/warehouse managers and workers connect into. In factories, Intelligent production equipment is typically connected. Moving vehicles and robots often piggyback off that fixed infrastructure as well. Some factories require the low latency that 5G provides..
The manual movement of goods across a facility introduces a risk of human error; if drivers don’t perform correctly, their mistakes can be hazardous to workers and potentially result in inventory loss or worse. Remote operation and robots can reduce human error, but only when mobile units are fully and consistently connected to the system. Unfortunately, other equipment, machines, and even shelving can block connection signals and bring movement to a halt.
The challenge for warehouse and factory operators is to automate the movement of mobile vehicles and equipment while maintaining high quality, uninterrupted connectivity and coverage both inside and outside a facility for mobile and fixed users. For factories, this same communications system should enable a fast and constant connection so that the production process itself is never hindered. Finally, there’s a challenge of optimizing costs as both traditional and innovative solutions can be expensive.
What if all mobile vehicles and equipment could be connected to each other, with uninterrupted connectivity and coverage, anywhere inside or outside of a facility? What if warehouse and factory managers could have a 100% uptime guarantee, ensuring that mobile and fixed equipment and personnel can communicate when they need to, with the same low latency as 5G when needed? What if your facility had a secure and private network when and where you need it…and still pay less?

Learn how Luceor’s communication technology aided warehouse/factory operators to better operate their facilities, with Luceor’s help:
The key to getting a more reliable communications system that better enables autonomous, productive, and safe facility operations is to decentralize your network. With Luceor WiMESH and HyMESH technology, each individual unit (mobile equipment, robots, workers) is automatically empowered/enabled to become a point of connection to the network for every other unit. When units are on the move, they’ll always have multiple potential connection points, while automatically expanding the available network bandwidth and coverage, even outside the facility or in traditionally hard-to-network areas.
It then becomes possible for machines to communicate directly, even while on the move, without connection interference. This allows for the optimization of repetitive tasks such as driving in and around a facility, and in turn allows operators to keep personnel out of danger while simultaneously augmenting productivity. It better enables remote operation of movable equipment and robots, for round the clock efficiency.
In addition, the following can be better enabled by the network: inventory/goods identification, material handling systems, data capture, and for equipment health monitoring and worker safety. Real time insights can be achieved to better optimize performance of machines and people.
Luceor’s next generation HyMESH technology provides access to a secondary or tertiary network (private and public 4G or 5G networks) to ensure that connectivity is simply never lost, guaranteed. This is particularly valuable for factory production needs that current rely on low latency 5G connections, because even 5G could fail when the network is too congested, or during an outage.
All this, in turn, ensures that facility operators minimize downtime and disruptions.
Both our WiMESH and Hybrid Mesh (HyMESH) technology ensure the highest quality connectivity through a unique network for your facility operation. But just as importantly, they minimize the cost because the equipment doesn’t require a large upfront investment in infrastructure.
Our next generation HyMESH technology optimizes costs by intelligently accessing top technology such as 5G, but only where needed (as a backup or where additional throughput is required).
Luceor’s networks are chosen by the most demanding operations managers in the world.
