How Andreu World transformed global operations with RUCKUS Wi‑Fi 6
Andreu World, a global leader in sustainable contemporary furniture design, needed a next generation wireless infrastructure to support its rapidly expanding network of offices, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and an 8,000-square-meter flagship showroom in Spain. With increasing device density, latency sensitive ERP tools, and sustainability goals tied to intelligent operations, the company selected RUCKUS Networks to modernize its end to end Wi Fi®.

The Challenge
As Andreu World scaled globally, its legacy Wi Fi infrastructure could no longer handle the demands of a modern manufacturing and design ecosystem. The company needed to unify connectivity across production plants, warehouses, headquarters, and high traffic showrooms—all while maintaining uninterrupted operational workflows and premium experiences for visiting clients, architects, and designers.
Core challenges included:
- Inconsistent Wi Fi coverage across large industrial and commercial spaces
- High device density from inventory terminals, design tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and guest traffic
- Low latency connectivity required for ERP, real time inventory, and manufacturing systems
- Interference heavy environments due to metallic structures in warehouses
- Need for one centralized management platform across multiple facilities
- Demand for energy efficient, sustainable technologies aligned with the company’s eco-driven philosophy
The solution
Andreu World deployed a high performance Wi Fi 6 architecture anchored by RUCKUS intelligent network technologies.
RUCKUS technologies implemented:
- RUCKUS R350 and R550 Wi Fi 6 access points (APs)
- RUCKUS SmartZone Virtual Controller (vSZ)
- RUCKUS AI™ for analytics and automated optimization
Before full deployment, a proof of concept validated that RUCKUS APs delivered uniform, stable coverage—even in previously problematic areas—while SmartZone demonstrated proactive monitoring and simplified scaling. A standout differentiator was BeamFlex+® adaptive antenna technology, delivering consistent connectivity despite changing warehouse layouts and environmental interference.
“The project was completed in six weeks—including deployment, SmartZone integration, and coverage testing—without interrupting the plant’s operations.” – Josep Climent, Director Técnico, Abenet Soluciones y Consultoría
