Industrial Technology Design
Warehouse Wi-Fi has to cover huge floors full of steel racking and moving equipment, and automated conveyors and scanners stop when the network does. Perimeters, gates and loading docks need security that covers every shift. And paging and communication have to be heard over production noise across hundreds of thousands of square feet.

FAQs
Can you design Wi-Fi for automated warehouses?
Yes. We design wireless around racking, conveyors and mobile equipment, as we did for Rent the Runway’s first fully automated fulfillment center.
Do you design for cold storage and harsh environments?
Yes. The Dollar General distribution center in Blair, Nebraska includes cold storage alongside dry goods.
Can you support a company as it grows?
Yes. Automation Direct has brought NTI onto three separate projects as the company expanded.
Do you sell or install equipment?
No. NTI is vendor-neutral and doesn’t sell or install equipment. If you’d like one team from design through installation, our parent company, ASD, can handle the bid and build phases.
