Industrial Wi-Fi for AGVs & AMRs: Fast BSS Transition (802.11r) & Zero-Drop Roaming

Prevent Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) from dropping safety interlocks during Wi-Fi handoffs: configuring 802.11r/k/v, 5GHz frequency planning, and roaming thresholds.

  • Standard Wi-Fi handoff takes up to 2 seconds, which trips fail-safe emergency stops on AGVs running safety over wireless.
  • 802.11r pre-authenticates with neighbor access points, reducing roaming handoff latency below 30 milliseconds.
  • Avoid 2.4GHz in modern warehouses; use 20MHz-wide non-overlapping 5GHz channels to minimize co-channel interference.
