-The diagram shows a warehouse with several heavy-load stackers vehicales. The warehouse area has a regulated traffic concpetion, which makes it easier to arrange the mesh network. All vehicales are equiped with Netmodule [[https://www.netmodule.com/de/produkte/router/ng800-lgwwtgd2br2cn|Netmodule NG800]] units and acting as meshpoint, interact with each other and form the mesh network. As enddevice all stackers also are equiped with scanners to capture the loaded Goods. As soon as any data has been gnereated, the mesh functionality will automatically find the shortest path through the network to the endpoint(cloud). [This use case is fictitious, but might be a regualar use case.] +The diagram shows a warehouse with several heavy-load stacker vehicales.
