Case Study: Kingsland Drinks achieves site-wide wireless coverage and productivity gains with Allied Telesis

Kingsland Drinks eliminates handheld disconnects with Allied Telesis across 7 production lines

Kingsland Drinks Limited, a major UK supplier of bulk wine and spirits, faced significant productivity losses due to an ineffective and unreliable wireless LAN across its large, complex manufacturing facility. The poor Wi-Fi coverage forced forklift drivers to manually enter data, costing substantial time. Allied Telesis, with its Channel Blanket technology and Vista Manager EX platform, was selected to design a new solution after a successful proof of concept demonstrated its ability to meet the challenge.

Allied Telesis implemented a robust WLAN using indoor and outdoor wireless access points managed by its Vista Manager EX and Autonomous Wave Control software. The solution provided complete site-wide coverage with no dead spots, resulting in a vastly more stable and reliable network. This significantly increased productivity, eliminated helpdesk requests related to Wi-Fi, and allowed Kingsland Drinks to meet its efficiency targets, with Allied Telesis providing ongoing support throughout the process.
