Conductix-Wampfler
Data communication on the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard
With 'Robin'6', Conductix-Wampfler has developed an all-in-one solution specifically for secure data communication of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
For optimum connectivity and integration into the infrastructure, the Wi-Fi solution is equipped with LAN, CAN and GPIO connections, which are all positioned on the front for easy installation and cabling. With a height of 26.5 mm, the device is extremely slim and therefore also suitable for vehicles with a very low overall height. Wireless commissioning and remote management simplify setup and enable automation of fleet deployments. The Conductix-Wampfler communication solution features energy-saving sleep modes and digital controls for the energy management of the function blocks on board the AGV/AMR.
