Use cases
Infrastructure retrofit
Use private wireless connectivity to retrofit your existing infrastructure to connect all the cameras and sensors you need for more comprehensive video analytics and condition monitoring. [showmore]
Think ship-to-shore cranes with mounted video cameras to record status of containers at arrival and after crane handling. Or transforming a railway operator from a traffic bottleneck into a precise and high-performing logistic hub with automation, drones and cameras.Or rethinking your warehousing operations as effective coverage of both indoor and outdoor storage facility and yards is possible in real-time via high accuracy positioning of your goods and personnel. In these cases and many more, productivity, safety and security improve significantly thanks to pervasive connectivity, when Wi-Fi capacity and coverage were exceeded.
Mobility & robotics
Meet automation targets with pervasive connectivity to enable Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs, AIVs) in your warehouse or remote-controlled container handling in your port for example. [showmore]
Increase agility through enabling flexible layouts, better fleet management, and lights-out factory. Likewise, intelligent robots like co-bots and inspection robots can be employed to boost automated material handling and put to work in high security areas.
Smart operations & intelligent tools
High capacity, low latency private wireless networking enables reliable video inspection and smart communications, end-to-end automated quality control, and smart connected worker services. [showmore]
This also translates to improved IIoT data profits thanks to better operational administration, smart tools, ad-hoc decision making and advanced analytics. And in cases such as port terminals, automation of operations also serves as a major driver for new business and valuable insight from applying new wireless products and services.
