Wi-Fi Enabled Landscaping Robots



Challenge:

The customer ? A national leader in the grass signage industry utilizes robotic technology as a more affordable way to apply advertising to grass. Their technology was originally designed using the Lantronix WiPort device server to enable the wireless connection between the robot and its control and positioning systems.

When the company began working in larger stadiums, interference issues arose due to the huge amount of wireless activity in use in these facilities. The company?s engineers recognized that the wireless connection needed a boost and began investigating various options. Could Lantronix provide a more enhanced wireless communication between its painting robots and control systems for better quality performance in highly congested areas?



Key Requirements:

  • Extended transmission range with dual band Wi-Fi® (802.11a/b/g/n)
  • Ease-of-implementation was critical
  • Control the robot remotely using wireless communication
  • Highest levels of encryption and security to ensure data assets are protected




The Solution:

    Lantronix PremierWave EN Wi-Fi Networking System on Module


The company?s engineers felt that the most logical solution was to test out the PremierWave EN embedded Linux wireless system on module. PremierWave EN has 802.11 a/b/g/n?as compared to the WiPort which has 802.11 b/g ? thus, boosting the signal strength needed.

Like the WiPort, PremierWave EN takes the complexity out of RF design and networking, allowing OEMs to minimize engineering risk, shorten development time and reduce development cost.

Now, with the PremierWave EN the robot can accurately create images of any size or complexity. Customers can now take advantage of new capabilities, such as the ability to frequently change logos or create advertising at racetracks, airports and other hard surface areas. In addition, the company can offer the same grass signage services that it provides to national clients?like NRL, AFL, cricket and rugby unions?to smaller businesses and work at any venue, including stadiums, sports complexes, schools, race tracks and more.
