In a warehouse, every failed barcode scan means a pause in picking, a lorry leaving late and a customer complaining. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting designs, installs and manages business Wi-Fi for warehouses, distribution centres and logistics operators: coverage between high racking, seamless roaming for forklifts and handhelds, and equipment built for industrial environments. Headquartered in Alfragide with support across Portugal, DataRoad remains responsible for the network after installation, under an IT Unlimited contract.

Why does office Wi-Fi fail in a warehouse?

High racking, steel structures, stock that moves and equipment in constant motion all degrade the signal. A design made for desks leaves dead zones at the end of the aisles and drops the connection every time a terminal switches access point.

  • Height and floor area: The signal has to reach the top of the racking and the end of every aisle.
  • Movement: Terminals on forklifts and in operators' hands change access point every minute.
  • Environment: Dust, temperature and vibration call for suitable equipment.
  • Critical systems: WMS and ERP depend on a network that does not fail.

What is installed and kept under management?

  • Coverage at height: Directional antennas and access points positioned from a coverage survey.
  • Scanners and handhelds connected: Stable connections for terminals, barcode scanners and picking.
  • Seamless roaming: Terminals switch access point without dropping the connection as they move.
  • Industrial-grade equipment: Access points and antennas for demanding environments.
  • A network for WMS and ERP: Sized for warehouse management systems.
  • Central management: Monitoring to keep the whole operation available.
  • Security by design: Segmentation, VLANs and best practice.

How does the project run without stopping operations?

  1. Survey: site visit, measurements and layout analysis, including aisles and loading bays. See our on-site Wi-Fi coverage survey.
  2. Design and proposal: solution, materials and price clearly set out.
  3. Installation: clean work with minimal disruption to operations and structured cabling installed to standard.
  4. Testing and documentation: certification, diagrams, labelling and reports handed over at the end.
  5. Ongoing management: monitoring and coverage expansion as the warehouse grows.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Wi-Fi reach high racking and large floor areas?

Yes, provided the network is designed from on-site measurements. DataRoad uses directional antennas and access points suited to the height and area, positioned from a coverage survey carried out in the warehouse. The result is usable signal at the top of the racking, at the end of the aisles and in the loading bays.

Do terminals stay connected on the move?

Yes. Roaming is configured so that scanners, handhelds and forklift terminals switch access point without losing the session as they move. It is this tuning, not signal strength, that prevents failed scans and repeated WMS entries halfway through a picking task.

Can the equipment cope with the warehouse environment?

Yes. DataRoad uses access points and antennas built for dust, temperature changes and vibration, from professional brands and with warranty. The choice is made at design stage for each zone: main floor, cold store, loading bay or office.

Will the network support our WMS and ERP?

Yes. The network is sized to run WMS, ERP and picking operations reliably, with VLAN segmentation between terminals, equipment and offices. Central monitoring picks up degradation before it affects operations.

What does it cost and how is it contracted?

The price depends on floor area, height and number of terminals, so it is fixed after the coverage survey. Installation is followed by management under an IT Unlimited contract, from €395/month + VAT on the Essential plan, with an annual contract and no lock-in. The proposal comes with no commitment.

Who maintains the network after installation?

DataRoad, which remains responsible for the installed network under the IT Unlimited contract. We do not carry out one-off jobs or sell standalone equipment: that is how we answer for the warehouse network as a whole, including expansion as the operation grows.
