How You Can Connect AMRs and AGVs in Your Logistics Warehouse

The demands on logistics facilities and material handling applications remain supersized, and your connectivity has to keep up. To meet demand, many facilities use autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for some tasks that can be automated in facilities. This is intended to increase the safety of workers, and make sure that employees can focus on critical tasks that only they can do.

These mobile machines boost efficiency, but you need to ensure your network is built for them – which starts with having a reliable communications network in place. Industrial environments can be a harsh space for many commercial connectivity options, which is a major reason why opting for a connectivity option built for manufacturing environments is a must.

There are two main communication methods to consider here: cellular technology (including 5G) and Wi-Fi. Today we’re taking a look at the benefits of these for AMR and AGV communications to optimize your warehouse’s efficiency.

Discover the benefits of cellular vs. Wi-Fi for AMR and AGV connectivity.
