Wireless visualization interface for autonomous ground vehicle signal coverage

摘要

A system for analyzing the network traffic health of an inventory management system that includes an autonomous vehicle and a plurality of access points. The autonomous vehicle interacts with access points in an inventory management system, and network traffic information related to network connectivity between the autonomous vehicle and the access points is obtained. The autonomous vehicle or the access points transmit(s) the network traffic information to a computer system that can generate a graphical user interface that represents the network traffic information for the inventory management system. The network traffic information can include a variety of information about the interactions between autonomous vehicles and access points, such as roam time of the autonomous vehicles between access points as the autonomous vehicles navigate within the inventory management system.

主权项

1. An inventory management system, comprising:
a plurality of access points situated in a materials handling facility; a mobile drive unit for moving inventory within the inventory management system, and for receiving and transmitting data from and to the plurality of access points; a computer system for:
receiving the data from the mobile drive unit, the data including at least roam times associated with network connectivity between the mobile drive unit and at least one of the plurality of access points;generating connectivity improvement information based at least in part on the data; andproviding the connectivity improvement information to at least one of: the at least one of the plurality of access points or the mobile drive unit, the connectivity improvement information comprising at least one of (1) instructions for the at least one of the plurality of access points to change a first configuration of the at least one of the plurality of access points or (2) instructions for the mobile drive unit to alter a second configuration of the mobile drive unit.
