RIS-Enhanced Private 5G Network Planning in Smart Warehouses

Written by Dr. Kan Lin | 1 June 2026

Private 5G networks are transforming warehouses and industrial facilities, enabling automation, autonomous robots, and real-time operations. However, achieving reliable coverage and low latency in complex indoor environments remains a significant challenge.

This white paper explores how Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and digital twin modelling in Ranplan Professional can be used to optimise private 5G network performance in a warehouse environment. Through simulation-driven design, the study demonstrates how strategic RIS deployment can improve coverage, reduce latency, and enhance network reliability while minimising infrastructure costs.

What you'll learn:

  • How RIS can improve private 5G coverage in complex warehouse environments

  • How digital twin modelling accelerates network planning, testing, and validation
  • How strategic RIS deployment helps achieve sub-2 ms latency and high downlink reliability for autonomous operations
  • How multipath analysis provides valuable insights into channel behaviour and RIS-assisted propagation
  • How advanced simulation supports wireless system design and future 5G and 6G network evolution
