Logistics & Warehousing
Overview

Logistics & Warehousing.

Distribution centers and fulfillment hubs demand infrastructure that performs in harsh environments — extreme temperatures, dust, vibration, and 24/7 operations. IpOctet engineers and installs industrial-grade fiber, wireless, and cabling solutions purpose-built for logistics environments across North America.

The Challenge

Challenges in Logistics & Warehousing.

RF Dead Zones

23%Warehouse WiFi Study

Nearly a quarter of warehouse floor space suffers from RF dead zones caused by metal racking, moving equipment, and poorly planned AP placement — leading to scanner disconnects that halt pick operations and create downstream shipping delays.

Scanner Disconnects

$180K/yr per facilitySupply Chain Quarterly

Wireless scanner disconnects cost the average distribution center $180,000 annually in lost labor productivity alone. Each disconnect event forces pickers to re-authenticate, re-scan, and often walk to a coverage area — compounding across thousands of daily picks.

Temperature Extremes

40% failure rateIndustrial IT Report

Standard commercial-grade network equipment fails at alarming rates in warehouse environments where temperatures swing from freezing cold storage to 110+ degree mezzanines. Non-ruggedized access points and switches account for 40% of unplanned network outages in logistics facilities.

Bandwidth Saturation

340% growthCisco IoT Index

IoT device density in warehouses has grown 340% in five years — from barcode scanners to AMRs, vision systems, and environmental sensors — overwhelming legacy copper backbones that were never designed for this volume of concurrent, low-latency connections.

Our Process

How We Work.

01

Assess

Walk-throughs of active DCs documenting dock configurations, rack layouts, and RF interference sources.

02

Design

Engineered fiber paths and wireless heat maps designed for warehouse-scale coverage with zero dead zones.

03

Deploy

Phased installation keeping operations running — night shifts, weekend windows, and section-by-section cutover.

04

Document

Fiber test results (OTDR), wireless validation reports, and as-built rack elevations for every facility.
