High-Performance Warehouse WiFi improves efficiency for GS Yuasa

Reliable Warehouse WiFi for Automated Logistics 

Reliable warehouse WiFi is critical for modern logistics operations, especially in environments using robotics, automation, and real-time data systems. Poor connectivity can lead to delays, downtime, and operational inefficiencies.

In this case study, we show how Redway Networks designed and deployed a high-performance industrial WiFi network for GS Yuasa’s automated warehouse—ensuring seamless connectivity for robotics, handheld devices, and critical systems.

The Challenge

GS Yuasa required a robust warehouse WiFi solution to support their highly automated distribution centre. The environment presented several challenges:

  • Large-scale warehouse with complex layout
  • High levels of RF interference due to stored materials
  • Requirement for uninterrupted connectivity for robotic systems and handheld devices
  • Need for consistent roaming across the entire facility
  • High device density and real-time data demands

Unreliable WiFi in this type of environment could result in operational downtime, reduced efficiency, and disruption to automated workflows.

The Solution

Redway Networks designed and deployed a tailored industrial WiFi solution optimised for warehouse environments. Using Wireless site surveys and Ekahau predictive planning and on-site validation surveys We implemented a Cambium Networks WiFi solution, selected for its reliability and performance in high-density industrial environments.

Robotic Warehouse Fleet requires Robust WiFi

GS Yuasa utilises an automated robotic fleet for assisting staff with picking by performing pallet movements and replenishments for faster moving stock.  This automation process requires a constant WiFi signal to optimise operations.

This highly-automated environment combined with the high levels of lead in GS Yuasa's battery stock create a significant challenge for wireless connectivity. 

Add to this the various warehouse spaces requiring a different implementation approach, GS Yuasa turned to Redway Networks to design its warehouse WiFi.

Smart Design for Highly Automated Warehouse

Redway Networks used Ekahau to design a meticulous plan of access point placement for maximum WiFi coverage and to handle any issues around the WiFi signal being attenuated by the lead stock.

Redway recommended a Cambium solution with cutting-edge enterprise features to fine-tune the WiFi configuration  and optimise performance of the robotic fleet. 

GS Yuasa is now benefitting from a robust WiFi network which has enhanced the speed at which products are picked and dispatched to its customers. 

 

1

Strong, reliable WiFi connectivity to the automated fleet and hand-held devices has improved round the clock picking operations and work-rate efficiency.   

2

The network was designed from the ground up with most of the Wi-Fi design completed using detailed blueprints and the WiFi was spot on from day one. 

3

Redway Networks demonstrated a high-level of technical expertise and Cambium is easily handling the complex WiFi demands of GS Yuasa's warehouse operations.  

4

GS Yuasa is now a Cambium ecosystem with a sophisticated WiFi6 network that's running super efficiently and is resilient enough to handle its mission-critical WiFi needs. 

5

For future-proofing, GS Yuasa is benefitting from ongoing network monitoring and management through Redway Networks' technical support. 

6

GS Yuasa has a comprehensive view of its entire warehouse network with real-time visibility through the Cambium CN Maestro cloud-managed dashboard. 

The Results

The final warehouse WiFi deployment delivered a high-performance, reliable network that supports GS Yuasa’s operational requirements.

Key Outcomes

  • Consistent WiFi coverage across the entire warehouse
  • Reliable connectivity for robotics and handheld devices
  • Seamless roaming with no dropouts during movement
  • Improved operational efficiency and reduced risk of downtime
  • Scalable network ready for future growth

The solution ensures that GS Yuasa can operate its automated warehouse with confidence, supported by a stable and high-performing wireless network.

Why Warehouse WiFi Matters

In modern logistics and manufacturing environments, warehouse WiFi is essential for:

  • Automated systems and robotics (AGVs, forklifts)
  • Real-time inventory management
  • Barcode scanning and handheld devices
  • Operational visibility and analytics

A poorly designed network can lead to delays, lost productivity, and costly downtime. Investing in a professionally designed industrial WiFi solution ensures long-term performance and reliability.
