Wireless AP coverage solutions take care of most industrial application scenarios

We've been asked by friends for factory wireless coverage solutions many times.

There are more and more factory projects now.

Many of our friends meet related projects, today let's talk something about the factory wireless coverage solution.

Wireless local area network (WLAN) technology as an extension of the traditional wired network, can also replace the traditional wired network in most of the environments.

Compared with traditional wired transmission solutions, data transmission using WLAN wireless network has the following great features:

1. Simplicity: The installation of the WLAN wireless network transmission system is fast and simple, which can greatly reduce the tedious work of laying pipelines and wiring;

2. Flexibility: WLAN wireless network and terminal wireless access can eliminate network cables' shackles, which is more convenient and flexible, and has incomparable advantages over wired networks. The equipment can be moved flexibly, or the installation location can be adjusted conveniently so that the wireless network can reach areas that are not easily covered by wired networks;

3.?Cost-effective: WLAN wireless network reduces the cost of wiring. In a dynamic environment that requires frequent moves and changes, wireless local area network technology has irreplaceable value and advantages;

4. Strong expansion ability: WLAN wireless network is more convenient to expand. According to specific application needs, wireless devices can be added at will, and the access and usage of wireless terminals can be increased at the same time.

Analysis of factory wireless network coverage requirements:

The demand for wireless network WLAN in a large factory area can be divided into wireless equipment in the workshop production area and mobile office in the office area. In the production area, the harsh environment of the workshop should be fully considered, and the equipment should be stable and reliable. In the office area, the needs of visitors (leaders, customers, partners) to access the network should be fully considered.

Workshop environment characteristics and requirements:

1. Production equipment frequently changes location, handheld terminals, forklift computers, etc. frequently move.

2. The workshop area is large, the beam frame is high, the cost of wiring network is high, and the line production is easy to be damaged.

3. The environment in some areas is harsh, with high temperature, humidity, dust, corrosion, and network equipment and lines are easily damaged.

Terminal devices are now miniaturized and easy to move. Unlike previous desktop devices, each location uses a wired network. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology helps us get rid of wires. The core of the WLAN wireless network is to cover the workshop with WiFi. A stable and high-quality wireless network mainly guarantees the following points:

1. Strong signal and full coverage, no coverage blind spots and dead spots.

2. The wireless rate is high, the network delay is small, and there is no mutual interference between APs.

3. The wireless AP supports seamless roaming, and there will be a delay when crossing APs, so minimize crossing APs.

4. Fully consider the impact of various harsh environments in the workshop on wireless equipment and stability.
