The FabStation software operates in real-time and is continually connecting to the server to keep project data updated.
When using a mobile device in a manufacturing environment, these updates can be affected by the wireless connectivity. An update that takes a minute in the office may take 2-3 minutes on the shop floor.
Ways to improve system performance:
Provide additional Wireless Access Points (WAP) on the shop floor
Synchronize device before heading out to shop floor
Consider tablet with LTE for more remote areas
Check to make sure the the Wifi icon is green at all times.
