Client background
Expert Warenvertrieb GmbH is Germany’s second-largest electronics reseller, operating 500 specialist stores alongside a significant e-commerce business.
To support growing customer demand, expert developed a highly automated fulfilment centre in Langenhagen, near Hannover. The facility relies heavily on automation to store, pick, transport and dispatch thousands of consumer electronics and household products every day.
With wireless connectivity underpinning these operations, expert needed a warehouse WiFi network capable of providing reliable, measurable and secure connectivity throughout the facility.
The challenge
Warehouse environments present some of the most demanding conditions for wireless networks.
Expert’s 13,000m² fulfilment centre features towering 17-metre-high racking, automated shuttle robots, smart conveyor systems and WiFi-enabled forklifts, all operating within a constantly changing RF environment. The facility handles up to 35,000 orders per day, making reliable connectivity critical to maintaining operational performance.
The business had previously used three different WiFi solutions across its offices and warehouses but experienced recurring coverage problems, particularly for forklift operators. Troubleshooting was also difficult because the IT team lacked the visibility needed to accurately measure network performance and identify the root cause of connectivity issues.
With a Juniper AI-native network, I don’t grow grey hairs managing the network. It just works.
