The journey from raw materials to finished products requires at least 70% of the total time to be spent on internal logistics, with products either being transported from station to station or sitting in storage for further processing. During this idle time, no production is taking place. To address this issue, a leading optoelectronics manufacturer in Taiwan introduced ECON's Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system to replace manual processes. The AGV system was integrated with the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and WMS (Warehouse Management System) to achieve clearer visibility of logistics and production processes.

ECON discovered that wireless communications are key to helping AGVs move accurately in a factory. In most plants, there are multiple intersections, and T junctions are a critical zone for AGV management. ECON partnered with Moxa to build an ultra-reliable AGV wireless network to keep their AGVs always on the right move.
