Keep Every Robot on the Floor "Communicating Reliably"Factory-Grade EM Twin & Wireless Reliability
AGVs, AMRs, collaborative robots, and automated production lines depend on wireless more deeply than ever, yet metal reflections, human-vehicle interference, and production cycle times impose extreme reliability requirements on 5G LAN / Wi-Fi 7 / TSN links. MetaRadio delivers factory-grade ray tracing, robotics communication HIL, and a factory EM twin across three product layers, so wireless is no longer the link on the production line that "lives at the mercy of the weather."
The Hidden Bottleneck of Factory Wireless
The Seemingly Stable Plant Wireless Hides Plenty of Latent Faults
Metal, moving equipment, and transient interference inside the factory make 5G LAN / Wi-Fi / TSN links far harder than in an office environment. One second of robot downtime is lost capacity, and the problem often cannot be reproduced on site.
Metal Reflections
Metal equipment and plant structures cause strong multipath and deep fading, leaving traditional coverage maps overly optimistic.
Robot Coordination
Concurrent interference and spectrum conflicts when multiple AGVs/AMRs operate at once are especially complex to model.
URLLC Latency
Collaborative robots and visual servoing demand millisecond latency, yet statistical models cannot deliver deterministic KPIs.
Deploying the Three Product Layers in the Factory
"Load" the Factory into an EM Twin and Make Wireless as Controllable as Power
Lauraycs precisely simulates the wireless channel within BIM/IFC factory models, L2 runs HIL regression on robot communication modules under production cycle times, and L3 forms a factory EM twin integrated with MES / digital factory.
| Layer | Layer Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | Ray Tracing / Lauraycs | Factory BIM/3D modeling + AGV/AMR trajectories + joint multi-AP/base-station, outputting time-varying 5G LAN / Wi-Fi 7 channels. |
| L2 | Virtual Drive Test / HIL | Production-line channels drive a 5G LAN / Wi-Fi 7 module test bench, regressing URLLC latency, packet loss, and roaming handover. |
| L3 | EM Twin / EM-Twin | A factory EM twin linked with the factory digital twin / MES, monitoring coverage and bottleneck zones. |

Core Differentiation
Metal reflection modeling
The EM parameter library for typical factory materials is calibrated, avoiding overly optimistic coverage maps.
Cycle-synchronized simulation
RT time-varying simulation refreshes by production cycle, aligned with the production-line rhythm.
True URLLC latency
Outputs end-to-end KPIs including tail latency, not just averages.
Multi-protocol joint
Joint simulation of 5G LAN + Wi-Fi 7 + TSN in the same scenario.
MES/industrial twin integration
Connects with mainstream factory digital-twin platforms; the EM layer is ready to use out of the box.
Domestic and controllable
Forms a validation ecosystem with domestic 5G LAN equipment / Wi-Fi 7 APs.
Typical Scenarios
AGV Scheduling
Wi-Fi/5G roaming reliability under large-scale concurrent AGV scheduling.
Collaborative Robots
End-to-end validation of URLLC latency for visual servoing / remote teaching.
Warehousing & Logistics
Joint RFID / Wi-Fi 7 / 5G coverage and inventory counting in high-bay warehouses.
Cleanrooms
Low-power IoT and high-reliability communication in semiconductor/pharmaceutical cleanroom environments.
Ports
Remote driving and platooning control links for port cranes / IGVs.
Mines
5G private-network coverage and equipment coordination in complex underground/open-pit environments.
Make wireless as controllable as power in the factory.
