In the last decade, we have seen the uptake of connected solutions to support and improve manufacturing, warehousing and distribution operations in industry. However, deterministic and reliable wireless communication in large-scale, dynamic and mobile applications still remains one of the greatest challenges for the realization of the Digital Factory of the Future. In this paper, we investigate more open, flexible and reliable wireless network structures that can be used in connected warehouses, focusing on connected shuttle systems for transporting goods.
