Automated Guided Vehicles
For real-time control of untethered devices such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), wireless communication is a necessity.
An effective method is to outfit each AGV with a wireless device server, for simple location monitoring and movement control from a remote control center.
CNC Management
CNC machines are traditionally programmed directly by operators that physically visit each machine. For hundreds or even thousands of CNC machines that need programming, it is a task that can be extremely time-consuming.
A WLAN installation is one way to control or send instructions simultaneously to multiple remote CNC machines. Each CNC machine can be connected to a wireless device server or wireless embedded computer, depending on the complexity of data processing required. WLAN operation eliminates the cost of running cables to each machine and makes it easy to move machines anywhere in your production environment.
