GS Yuasa Case Study

GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK has improved efficiency in its innovative and complex robotic warehouse with high-performance WiFi6 from Redway Networks.

The manufacturer's new state-of-the-art warehouse is a complicated environment designed for industry 4.0 with a fleet of robotic forklifts, 15m high racking and a huge portfolio of battery stock, which presented a unique challenge for a wireless network.

Redway Networks leveraged its WiFi expertise to design and deploy a Cambium solution that would ensure robust wireless connectivity throughout the warehouse with no loss of signal.

Robotic Warehouse Fleet requires Robust WiFi

GS Yuasa utilises an automated robotic fleet for assisting staff with picking by performing pallet movements and replenishments for faster moving stock. This automation process requires a constant WiFi signal to optimise operations.

This highly-automated environment combined with the high levels of lead in GS Yuasa's battery stock create a significant challenge for wireless connectivity.

Add to this the various warehouse spaces requiring a different implementation approach, GS Yuasa turned to Redway Networks to design its warehouse WiFi.

Smart Design for Highly Automated Warehouse

Redway Networks used Ekahau to design a meticulous plan of access point placement for maximum WiFi coverage and to handle any issues around the WiFi signal being attenuated by the lead stock.

Redway recommended a Cambium solution with cutting-edge enterprise features to fine-tune the WiFi configuration and optimise performance of the robotic fleet.

GS Yuasa is now benefitting from a robust WiFi network which has enhanced the speed at which products are picked and dispatched to its customers.

1

Strong, reliable WiFi connectivity to the automated fleet and hand-held devices has improved round the clock picking operations and work-rate efficiency.

2

The network was designed from the ground up with most of the Wi-Fi design completed using detailed blueprints and the WiFi was spot on from day one.

3

Redway Networks demonstrated a high-level of technical expertise and Cambium is easily handling the complex WiFi demands of GS Yuasa's warehouse operations.

4

GS Yuasa is now a Cambium ecosystem with a sophisticated WiFi6 network that's running super efficiently and is resilient enough to handle its mission-critical WiFi needs.

5

For future-proofing, GS Yuasa is benefitting from ongoing network monitoring and management through Redway Networks' technical support.

6

GS Yuasa has a comprehensive view of its entire warehouse network with real-time visibility through the Cambium CN Maestro cloud-managed dashboard.
