Wireless Coverage
There must be wireless coverage for multi-AMR installations, or in areas where you wish to
send new commands to or receive status updates from the AMR.
For these cases, ensure you have adequate wireless coverage. Because of the possible vari-
ations in different environments, we don’t specify what components or techniques to use.
We do suggest that you conduct a comprehensive site survey to ensure adequate wireless cov-
erage. You can test your wireless setup coverage by trying to ping it from various locations.
>= -40 dBm is the ideal WiFi signal strength, -60 dBm is the recommended minimum.
Bandwidth Considerations
The typical bandwidth for a fleet averages about 50 Kbps/AMR. This would increase if the
AMR is connected to the Fleet Manager, and is actively viewed by MobilePlanner. This num-
ber can increase or decrease depending on the types of commands and debugging tools that
are enabled in MobilePlanner. In any case, the bandwidth is not likely to exceed 500 Kbps per
AMR (0.5 Mbps).
0.5 Mbps per AMR would easily fit within the capabilities of access points (>=54 Mbps). If you
have multiple access points, this number becomes even less of a concern.
Also, other factors will affect the bandwidth requirements, such as if the AMR supports a cam-
era on top and streams the video through the AMR’s WiFiinterface. Based on such pos-
sibilities, the bandwidth usage will vary by application.
4.2 Mapping
Mapping Overview
Out-of-the-box, the platform does not have a working map, and its wired or wireless network
settings are unlikely to match your network. Consequently, it will not do anything autonom-
ously. To have your platform perform autonomously, you need to make a map of its operating
space. Use the MobilePlanner application to make maps.
You develop maps with the MobilePlanner software. You can add a variety of virtual elements
that modify the behavior of an AMR. Virtual elements include forbidden lines and areas,
speed zones, preferred-direction zones, and more, all working to help you configure your work-
space for efficient and safe performance of your mobile application. You can also create your
own virtual elements for application-specific AMR-workspace interactions.
