Good morning guys, i'm currently working on a project to connect several cranes ( 16 ) to the network. The main obstacles here are that i cannot use any wiring.
The closest location to the cranes that are connected to the company Lan are 350m away. I was thinking of interconnecting the cranes to each other and then connect the closest one to the Lan.
My issue here is tha i do not know how the metallic cranes will attenuate the signal, and if it's possible to simply cover a radius of 500m using a big antenna.
The data rate isn't an issue since this whole setup is simply to be able to collect sensors information from the cranes controllers (instead of having to go all the way up to every individual crane to monitor it). I would have used a simpler network with an implementation of a Lora network getting data directly from the sensors but the company already invested in a pc+ software setup for the cranes.
Is my solution good enough, is there any modifications you guys would suggest.
Here is the plan of the site. https://i.imgur.com/hjfONcn.png
I'm planning on connecting everything to the DEL offices, since it's the closest spot connected to the LAN.
