Wi-Fi news from 7SIGNAL

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are transforming how goods move through modern warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. They’re faster, smarter, and more efficient than ever but only when they have the wireless connectivity they need to function without interruption.

At 7SIGNAL, we help organizations ensure that their AGVs and AMRs stay connected, operational, and efficient because a robot without Wi-Fi is just expensive cargo.

What Are AGVs and AMRs?

AGVs: Automated Guided Vehicles

AGVs are mobile robots that follow fixed routes or markers such as magnetic tape, QR codes, or wires to transport materials. They’re widely used in logistics and manufacturing for tasks like:

  • Pallet transport
  • Towing trailers
  • Assembly line delivery

They rely on centralized control systems and require consistent Wi-Fi to receive instructions and report status.

AMRs: Autonomous Mobile Robots

AMRs take things further. They use onboard sensors, LiDAR, SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping), and AI to dynamically navigate their environment. Unlike AGVs, they don’t need fixed paths they adapt in real-time.

They require constant access to cloud-based maps, navigation intelligence, and fleet orchestration platforms, all of which depend on strong, stable wireless networks.

Why Connectivity Is Critical

Whether it’s an AGV awaiting new routing commands or an AMR recalculating a path around an obstacle, any Wi-Fi degradation means downtime, delays, or damage. Common problems include:

  • Roaming failure: Robots drop off the network when moving between APs
  • High latency: Impacts command-and-control responsiveness
  • Packet loss: Affects telemetry and location accuracy
  • Coverage gaps: Cause navigation blind spots or system halts

How We Help: 7SIGNAL and Digital Experience Monitoring

7SIGNAL & EYERIS AI provides independent, infrastructure-agnostic monitoring that helps you maintain a high-performance wireless environment for AGVs and AMRs. Here’s how:

1. Continuous Monitoring from the Client Perspective

Our mobile Wi-Fi sensors monitor:

  • Signal strength (RSSI)
  • Packet loss
  • Roaming performance
  • Channel interference
  • And over 600 more KPIs

This allows you to catch connectivity issues before your robots do.

2. Proactive Alerting & Troubleshooting

When roaming failures or latency spikes occur, 7SIGNAL provides:

  • Real-time alerts
  • Historical correlation with robot telemetry
  • Location-specific performance visibility

So your ops teams can fix the issue before it stops the floor.

3. Data-Driven Optimization

We help you fine-tune:

  • AP placement and handoff thresholds
  • Channel and band utilization
  • QoS policies for mission-critical devices

All based on actual robot connectivity performance, not guesswork.

Smart Robots Deserve Smart Wi-Fi

Your AGVs and AMRs are only as smart as the network they depend on. At 7SIGNAL, we make sure that wireless isn’t the weak link in your automation strategy. With full visibility and actionable insights, we help you:

  • Reduce AGV and AMR downtime
  • Avoid productivity losses
  • Scale your fleet with confidence

7SIGNAL now optimizes Wi-Fi in consumer environments including homes, hotel rooms and other locations where cable, satellite and over-the-air television systems are used. Available in the Google Play store, the SaaS agent can eliminate the need to roll trucks, shorten helpdesk calls, and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 59% or more.

Cleveland, OH – 7SIGNAL®, the leader in enterprise Wi-Fi optimization, today announced the release of its Android TV set top box (STB) agent. The agent, which is available in the Google Play store, is designed to optimize consumer Wi-Fi for ISPs, IAPs and other professionally managed and supported environments including home and hospitality.

The Agent is developed for enterprise level control, governance, and deployment from Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platforms, in the future, the platform will provide direct consumer messaging for faster remediation, in support of company’s vision which is to reduce the human interaction required to solve Wi-Fi problems. A free enterprise trial is available, here.

This innovative software agent (known as Mobile Eye) and the SaaS powered 7SIGNAL enterprise dashboard are designed to optimize Wi-Fi in consumer environments including homes, hotel rooms and other environments where cable, satellite and over-the-air television systems are used providing visibility into the consumer digital experience. Proven by IDC research to reduce network MTTR by over 59% in the enterprise, 7SIGNAL expands capabilities beyond enterprise endpoint use cases such as laptops, mobility, robotics and other IoT and into the consumer-based environments for the first time.

“The set top box (STB) market was valued at over $23.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand well into the future according to analysts like Grand View Research,” said Don Cook, Chief Marketing Officer at 7SIGNAL. “STBs are growing in popularity because as they offer features like personalized experiences, a large app ecosystem, and even video conferencing. Now that multiple connectivity options are available including Wi-Fi, 7SIGNAL can keep these devices streaming while monitoring consumer digital experiences.
