Case Study: Jungheinrich achieves faster, safer automated storage with HMS Networks wireless connectivity

Jungheinrich boosts storage density 4x with HMS Networks

Jungheinrich, a global leader in intralogistics, needed a robust wireless communication backbone for its innovative PowerCube automated storage system. The challenge was ensuring reliable and deterministic connectivity for shuttles moving in two dimensions within a dense, metallic structure, as any disruption could halt operations. The company turned to vendor HMS Networks for a solution.

HMS Networks implemented a robust wireless setup using Anybus Wireless Access Points and Anybus Wireless Bridge II devices, providing reliable IP67-rated connectivity in a point-to-multipoint architecture. Their Wireless & Infrastructure Implementation Assistance service was crucial for optimal access point layout and site surveys. This solution provided the reliable, deterministic wireless backbone required, enabling the PowerCube to deliver higher storage density and faster order processing for customers, and setting the stage for future scalable deployments.
