Wireless LAN for the Warehouse Sector

Mobility always comes to the top as a key feature of wireless LAN in the warehouse sector. Inventories can be completed in much shorter time when data is entered directly into system database using handheld devices and barcode scanners. Pick lists can be updated "on the fly" for quicker response. Be sure that any site surveys are completed after the warehouse building has been filled with shelves and stocked. A WLAN system that can automatically tune and adjust itself to accommodate physical changes would be very desirable. After all, a half stocked warehouse is going to look different than a fully stocked one as far as the RF signal pattern.
