Streamlining connectivity across the supply chain is a challenge that businesses must face to stay productive and enable growth. Coincidentally, the next WiFi standard, WiFi 6, is in the process of rolling out now, and it is built to simultaneously connect larger numbers of devices. This is due to the rapid increase in the number of mobile devices in facilities such as warehouses and manufacturing plants, which creates a demand for stronger connections and networks. Here are some benefits of WiFi 6 for your warehouse:
- Higher data rates
- Improved management
- Lower latency
- Increased power management
- Strengthened security
Optimize warehouse productivity with reliable technology.
What this means for your warehouse is that you will need more advanced technology solutions to reap the benefits of expanded connectivity from WiFi 6. 7 out of 10 decision makers plan to increase their technology investments by 2020. If your warehouse doesn’t choose advanced technology capable of reliable use in warehouses, it can cause your business to see a decrease in productivity and shipping. Lower productivity leaves your business incapable of meeting customer demands, so customer satisfaction and sales will also drop. Additionally, since labor compromises 50 to 70% of a warehouse’s budget, not properly optimizing productivity will lead to total failure.
