Better than Wired

To stay competitive, today’s manufacturing industry must be more flexible than ever — handling low-volume, high-variability production with ease. This demands manufacturing systems that are partly autonomous, yet still capable of fast changeovers between small product batches or entirely different tasks. Companies with seasonal products also need the freedom to scale capacity up or down as demand shifts. But achieving this level of flexibility is difficult when everything is tied down by cables.

The same applies to construction, agriculture, and mining, where autonomous systems are becoming increasingly common. In these environments, equipment must operate reliably without a wired backbone, while still ensuring functional safety to protect workers.

So why hasn’t wireless already taken over? Because most existing wireless technologies, while offering high average throughput, are prone to unpredictable delays or occasional packet loss. Humans may not notice a 100 millisecond delay, but for machine-to-machine communication, those disruptions can cause malfunctions or costly production errors.

Better than Wired is designed from the ground up to support industrial-grade wireless communications between PLCs, robots, AMRs, cranes, drones, autonomous agricultural vehicles, and any other component where reliability and low latency are crucial.
