Network Bottlenecks in Distribution: The Hidden Cost of Old Infrastructure

21st May 2025

Warehouses and fulfilment centres are the engine rooms of the UK economy — and like any engine, they need clean fuel to run efficiently. In logistics, that fuel is data.

From barcode scanners and inventory systems to automated conveyors and CCTV, your entire operation depends on strong, stable network infrastructure. But many distribution centres are working with outdated copper cabling and limited fibre connectivity — causing bottlenecks, downtime, and inefficiency.

Where Problems Happen

IT managers often face recurring tech problems that don’t trace back to software or devices, but to aging networks:

• Dropped scanner connections slowing pick/pack processes
• Video surveillance feed failures at key access points
• Unreliable Wi-Fi causing mobile systems to crash
• Slow data syncing with warehouse management systems (WMS)

If any of these sound familiar, your infrastructure needs attention.
