Meraki Wireless Modernizes 27 Manufacturing Sites
Standardized wireless across 27 manufacturing sites.
Client context
The work begins with the operating reality.
Client
A global chemical manufacturer serving agriculture, automotive, industrial, and other markets through a distributed warehouse footprint.
EngagementA chemical manufacturer standardized wireless infrastructure across 27 sites to support handheld inventory workflows and central management.
The challenge
What had to change
New handheld scanning devices depended on reliable coverage for faster and more accurate picking and shipping, but existing facilities could not support the workflow consistently.
Cabling, switches, and fiber were poorly documented, and each site's materials and layout created different radio-frequency conditions. Local teams also managed wireless independently.
The BlueAlly solution
How the work came together
BlueAlly used Ekahau and facility blueprints for predictive surveys, then validated cabling, switching, fiber, access-point placement, and building conditions onsite.
Site-specific remediation plans guided standardized Meraki access-point, switching, cabling, fiber, and wireless-bridge deployment through remote Smart Hands teams.
The results
What changed
The manufacturer brought 27 locations into one Meraki management platform in less than a year and successfully enabled the scanning workflow.
Central visibility improved network control, inventory accuracy, shipping speed, and the consistency experienced by employees moving between sites.
Outcome highlights
What the client gained.
Completed survey, remediation, and deployment at scale.
Enabled reliable handheld scanning for warehouse operations.
Replaced separate site networks with centralized control.
