The Essential Role of Industrial Wi-Fi in AGV and AMR Deployment

The global AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) market is projected to reach $5.8 Billion by 2025, underscoring the rapid adoption of automation in factories and warehouses. Reliable industrial Wi-Fi networks are critical for enabling seamless communication and operation of AGVs and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), driving transformative benefits such as:

Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity

Optimised workflows reduce labour costs while increasing throughput.

Improved Accuracy and Precision

Minimised human error ensures precise material handling and delivery.

Scalability and Flexibility

Easily adapts to changing layouts and evolving workflows.

Safer Work Environments

Automating repetitive or hazardous tasks enhances worker safety.

Data-Driven Insights

Real-time connectivity generates actionable data for optimising warehouse operations.

Investing in industrial-grade Wi-Fi solutions is essential for leveraging the full potential of AGV and AMR technologies in modern automation environments.

At ICP we have 18 years’ experience designing and supplying Wireless Networks for the most demanding applications in National Critical Infrastructure projects.
