At the logistics center of a large cosmetics brand in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, spanning 16,000 square feet, seamless connectivity and secure data transmission were essential. The warehouse handles the full logistics cycle from receipt and inspection to packaging, shipping, and distribution. Efficient operations required real-time synchronization between the warehouse management system (WMS) and headquarters ERP, reliable PDA-based inventory tracking, and stable connectivity for IoT sensors and CCTV surveillance.

To meet these demands, Zyxel Networks deployed an integrated wired and wireless solution, replacing consumer-grade devices with professional hardware managed via the Nebula cloud networking solution. This setup provided a high-performance, secure network that underpins smooth, high-efficiency warehouse operations.

Key Achievements:

• Seamless WiFi roaming for PDAs and tablets, ensuring uninterrupted mobile inventory operations

• Enhanced wireless coverage and performance in high-ceiling, heavy-rack warehouse environments

• Secure site-to-site VPN for real-time, encrypted data exchange with headquarters ERP systems

• Real-time threat response and strengthened network security with integrated protection against malware, phishing, and DDoS attacks

• Optimized switch network design that prevents failures from spreading and maintains stable operation

• Centralized cloud management that reduces downtime, simplifies troubleshooting, and improves operational efficiency
