Wonderful Citrus Modernizes Warehouse &Yard Operations with Ramen Autonomous Network + EdgeAI

Wonderful Citrus, North America’s leading grower and packer of fresh citrus, continuously invests in modernization to improve product quality and operational efficiency. A major challenge was extending reliable connectivity across a 3‑million‑sq‑ft outdoor storage yard used for dry‑goods inventory. Traditional solutions required trenching and cabling, resulting in more than $1M in construction costs and lengthy project timelines.

Executive Summary

Wonderful Citrus needed carrier‑grade outdoor connectivity to support scanning workflows, inventory management, and future computer‑vision use cases — all without disrupting active operations. 

Challenge

Previous Wi‑Fi attempts left large coverage gaps. Vendor proposals required new fiber runs and light‑pole mounting, creating 9–12‑month timelines and seven‑figure construction budgets. 

Solution: Ramen Autonomous Network + EdgeAI

Ramen deployed:

• 12 private‑cellular radios covering the entire yard  
• Zero trenching and zero operational disruption  
• AI‑managed autonomous network operations (RANO)  
•  Ramen EdgeAI appliances powered by NVIDIAJetson  

Beyond connectivity, Ramen delivered full AI and EdgeAI enablement, including:

• Computer‑vision infrastructure for AI Inference
• Predictive‑maintenance analytics  
• AI‑driven workflow automation  
• Vendor‑agnostic integration with scanners and WMS systems

Impact

• Deployment completed 3–4× faster  
• 70–80% reduction in cost  
• Eliminated coverage gaps  
• EdgeAI‑ready platform for AI Inference, future robotics and digital automation  

Conclusion

With Ramen’s Autonomous Network + EdgeAI platform, Wonderful Citrus gained reliable yard coverage, automated operations, and a future‑ready foundation for AI‑enabled warehouse and processing workflows.
