100 × 80 m Warehouse | 4 Wi-Fi 6 APs | 11 Pallet Trucks | Industrial Wireless Communication！
–Project Background–
As automated warehousing continues to evolve toward higher speed, higher density, and greater intelligence, wireless connectivity has become an essential communication foundation between mobile equipment and control systems.
At an automated warehouse in Morowali Industrial Park, Indonesia, high-bay storage racks and automated pallet trucks are used for material handling operations. The warehouse covers approximately 100 × 80 m and includes 11 pallet trucks.
GPSENKE designed the wireless network based on the warehouse environment and equipment operating routes, using Wi-Fi 6 industrial APs and industrial wireless clients to provide stable wireless connectivity for the mobile equipment.
The project is a box-type automated warehouse featuring high-density storage racks for automated material storage and handling.
The pallet trucks operate continuously within the warehouse and require wireless communication with the on-site control network for data exchange.
- 100 × 80 m warehouse operating area
- 11 pallet trucks
- Wireless transmission of PLC and control data
- Stable wireless connectivity for mobile equipment
For an automated warehouse, the wireless network needs to provide not only sufficient coverage, but also stable connectivity as mobile equipment moves through the operating area.

By strategically planning wireless coverage zones along the RGV routes, the system enables vehicles to rapidly switch between AP coverage areas while moving, reducing the risk of communication interruptions during roaming.
–Project Site Deployment—
From the high-density storage racks to the mobile pallet trucks and onboard control cabinets, GPSENKE wireless devices form a complete communication link for mobile equipment.
—Network Management–
The project provides centralized wireless access for mobile equipment through the industrial wireless network. Combined with fast roaming technology and wireless connectivity strategies, the solution enables stable communication for RGV vehicles during movement.
As an RGV moves along its designated route, the wireless client dynamically switches between APs according to changes in wireless signal conditions. With support for IEEE 802.11k/v/r and GPSENKE GP Roaming technology, the solution helps minimize the impact of AP transitions on ongoing business communication.
Meanwhile, centralized wireless network management enables unified monitoring and management of wireless devices and connection status, providing a reliable foundation for future network maintenance and system expansion.
