Case Study: Milfos achieves improved warehousing efficiency with RUCKUS Networks

Milfos Improved Warehousing Efficiency with Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi

Milfos, a leading New Zealand manufacturer and distributor of dairy equipment, needed a reliable wireless network to support a new barcode system across its two‑storey warehouse and office complex. The incumbent consumer-grade Wi‑Fi delivered weak, patchy coverage, required manual MAC‑address provisioning, and couldn’t support mobile devices reliably amid steel shelving, machinery and constant device movement.

Working with Elite Business Systems, Milfos trialed and then deployed a Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart WLAN (four APs and a ZoneDirector controller) to provide centrally managed, automatically tuned indoor and outdoor coverage across 4,500 m². The new network delivered consistent signal strength and seamless roaming, simplified administration via ZoneDirector, secure guest access and Dynamic PSK auto‑provisioning for staff devices—enabling reliable barcode operations and measurable efficiency gains.
