Enabling Factory Automation

Amphenol RF’s broad portfolio of RF interconnect solutions support emerging autonomous warehouse technology. The rise in autonomy within the warehouse logistics ecosystem enables increased efficiency, reduced cost and helps to ensure safety. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are able to improve productivity and decrease damage during cargo handling.

There is a significant amount of RF content including coaxial connectors, adapters and cable assemblies within these new technologies that enable key elements such as cameras, sensors and antennas. The high-bandwidth capabilities of traditional automotive connectors enable camera systems to communicate quickly with on-board computer systems to eliminate potential safety risks making them ideal for this environment. The versatility of these interconnects allows for substantial crossover and the ability to provide optimal solutions for warehouse robotics, a technology that is central to the next wave of industrial IoT.
