Industrial Wireless APs + Wireless Clients | Reliable Connectivity for Automated AGV Transportation！
–Project Background–
This project is located in the production area of China Aerospace Propulsion and represents a typical industrial AGV wireless communication application. AGV transport vehicles operate across both indoor production facilities and outdoor transportation areas, requiring continuous wireless coverage along their operating routes.
During operation, the onboard PLC must maintain reliable data communication with the backend dispatching system. Wireless instability may affect PLC connectivity, data transmission, and dispatch command delivery, potentially disrupting AGV operations.
To address these requirements, GPSENKE developed an industrial wireless solution combining industrial wireless APs, onboard wireless clients, continuous coverage, and reliable roaming. Coordinated indoor and outdoor wireless coverage provides stable connectivity for AGVs and supports reliable data transmission between onboard PLCs and the dispatching system.

–Project Site Deployment—
For indoor production areas, wireless AP locations are planned according to actual AGV routes and site conditions to provide stable wireless connectivity throughout vehicle operations.
For outdoor transportation areas, wireless coverage is designed around travel distances and operating routes to maintain reliable communication during long-distance movement.
Through coordinated deployment of industrial wireless APs and onboard wireless clients, GPSENKE optimizes the network according to AGV operating conditions and communication requirements. This approach supports indoor and outdoor wireless coverage while improving communication stability between onboard PLCs and the dispatching system.
—Project Results—
Following network deployment, AGVs connect to the wireless network through GP-AG1000 wireless clients, establishing data communication links with the backend dispatching and control systems.
During operation and testing, AGVs move continuously between indoor and outdoor areas while maintaining stable overall wireless communication. Data exchange between onboard PLCs and the dispatching system remains operational during vehicle movement and roaming, supporting reliable delivery of control commands over the wireless network.
The industrial wireless network provides continuous mobile connectivity, reduces PLC disconnection risks caused by wireless fluctuations, and establishes a reliable communication foundation for automated transportation.
