Cellynne Chooses Xirrus Wi-Fi for Paper Manufacturing Plant
March,
2008, Haines City, Florida - Xirrus, Inc., the only Wi-Fi
"Power-Play" that can replace Ethernet workgroup switches with
Wi-Fi as the primary network connection, announced today the
deployment of their Wi-Fi Arrays at the Cellynne Corporation's
headquarters consisting of offices, manufacturing, and
distribution warehousing.
Cellynne Corporation is a leading manufacturer and supplier of a
wide variety of premium paper and towel products, such as jumbo
roll tissue, paper towels, folded towels, kitchen roll towels,
bathroom tissue, napkins, facial tissue and dispensers for both
away-from-home and at-home markets. They are widely recognized
in the industry for their innovative products, long-term
partnerships with customers, and steady, profitable growth in a
changing global market.
To further increase automation with robotics, Cellynne needed a
pervasive Wi-Fi network connecting wireless scanners on
forklifts, handheld scanners, and notebook computers to the
Enterprise Resource Planning system in order to track all
materials and products from receiving, to manufacturing, to
shipping. However, the traditional controller-based Wi-Fi
architectures failed to meet the reliability and coverage
requirements within the 238,000 square foot facility.
"Cellynne needed a wireless infrastructure for improved
warehouse management," said Russ Mattingly, regional sales
manager at Xirrus. "If a forklift picks something up, it needs
to be tracked to the central database--Xirrus delivered the
Wi-Fi infrastructure needed to make this a reality for them."
"The Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays are an incredibly well engineered
wireless platform that provides us with the reliability,
coverage, and security needed for our state-of-the-art
facility," said Sean Peltzer, IT Manager at Cellynne
Corporation. "We push automation to the maximum with
robotics--it's great to have a Wi-Fi platform we can rely on and
upgrade as our performance needs increase."
