Pro tip: skip the wireless sensors on big commercial jobs in Houston

I did a 40,000 square foot warehouse near the Port of Houston last month and the wireless sensors kept dropping signal every time a forklift went by. Has anyone else run into this interference issue with heavy equipment or am I just picking the wrong brand?

Man I had the exact same problem on a 50k square foot cold storage job near the ship channel. Swapped to wired everything and ran conduit under the floor slabs, never had a dropout since. Its a pain to install but saves so many headaches when you got forklifts and racking causing interference.

@lucas165 nailed it with the conduit under slab move. Did a similar fix at a retrofitted grocery DC where the wireless kept dropping near the freezers (you know how bad those metal racks mess with signals). Total game changer once we ran everything wired.
