WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Are your staff frustrated by data capture devices freezing during warehouse operations? Are they losing faith in your system, leading to mis-use or refusing to use it entirely? Does this cost your business money and reduce the number of orders you can process per day? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, we can help.
Private Wireless Networks
Take your business into the digital age with a private wireless network from Nokia that brings reliable, low-latency connectivity to every inch of your operation. Their Industrial-grade Private Wireless solution will help you use digital technologies to increase automation, ensure safety and security, and achieve new levels of quality, efficiency and productivity.
Based on proven 4.9G technology and the world's first private 5G standalone solution, Industrial-grade Private Wireless is easy to deploy, as robust and capable as Ethernet, and provides a smooth upgrade path to future releases of 5G. It can digitally connect all your critical operations in real time, no matter how fast the parts are moving. Deploy it anywhere, use and operate it as you see fit, and rely on it to provide simple, dependable plug-and-play networking.

Wireless Health Checks
Failed access points, gaps in coverage or trying to use domestic access points in an industrial setting, can all lead to dropped connections and poor WiFi signal. The wireless infrastructure within your operation is integral to the efficient running of your business, so it’s vital that it is configured correctly, to provide optimal coverage for the specific hardware your operators are using, wherever they are in the business. We are often assured by customers that their WiFi networks work fine after testing using a laptop or mobile phones, but as industrial data capture devices roam from access point to access point in a different way, this may not be a sufficient way of assessing coverage.
At Barcode-IT, we can provide a full onsite wireless health check of your network and highlight any areas of concern or improvement to ensure the environment is optimal for your chosen mobile devices. Let us use our years of expertise to solve your connectivity problems, and ensure that business is not slowed or halted by WiFi drop outs.
Need to replace your wireless network or install one for the first time? Designing and installing an industrial wireless network can be complicated and there are many factors that need to be taken into account when positioning and configuring access points within the warehouse. Additionally, how the wireless survey is conducted in the first place is just as important. That's why, we work alongside trusted partners to offer you everything you need to get seamless coverage right throughout your operation, from the wireless survey and supply of access points, to cabling and installation.
Don’t let poor wireless coverage make your operators lose faith in your logistics software and hardware, contact us today on 01200 441977 for a wireless health check or to have a full wireless survey and network installed.
