Video communication surged in recent years, and studies suggest it will continue dominating common workplace communications for the foreseeable future. Many employees contribute the flexibility that video communications provide to an office setting to their ability to work remotely and remain productive and collaborative with their teams. Using weavix™ for your industrial communications, this same flexibility and collaboration are easily achieved in the field like never before.
On your frontline, industrial workers everywhere can benefit from implementing video communications with their crews. Some have used it for a quick update on a project with their foreman, others have attended video meetings with all the different crews from other facilities. Our walt™ smart radio gives every frontline worker the ability to communicate with each other and office staff through video on the go from our Internet of Workers (IoW) platform.
If you’re looking to expand your crews’ communication capabilities, see how including video collaboration from weavix™ will lead to more productivity and teamwork, among other advantages, with every worker, including contractors, in your facility.
Increased Productivity
Industrial facilities are widespread and hectic, often with many people, projects and assignments going on all at one time. With deadlines to meet, the productivity of your frontline is vital, and plant managers need to ensure crews are working effectively. However, with legacy radios, crews have been limited to either push-to-talk (PTT) as their primary method of industrial communication or no means of communication. While we’re not knocking PTT, video communication is faster and more effective, especially when dealing with specifics.
Video communication in industry allows your frontline workers to show urgency in their messages and help clear up any misunderstandings that might occur. Instead of describing an issue or part, they can show each other. Instead of trying to explain a concept and hoping for a good connection, weavix™ allows for clear 1-1 or group video conferencing with guaranteed connectivity to get face-to-face with your crews, even remotely.
Your frontlines can ask questions and understand solutions faster through visuals, and this is accomplished in the field through video communication.
Better Teamwork Between Crews
Video communication has connected teams from many different professions and companies across the globe, and it does the same for frontline workers. Field crews, in particular, have historically been left without industrial radios or ways to communicate amongst each other, as radios were only available to certain teams or positions.
weavix™, on the other hand, revolutionizes the way facilities and field crews get and use their industrial radios. Simply, we give every worker in a facility a smart industrial radio, no matter the size. We believe every worker has a voice and encourage them to use it. With more communication capabilities at their disposal, along with guaranteed connectivity through a private LTE network, crews can freely communicate from across the entire facility for a connected worker experience.
Easily Adapt & Respond to Changes
When working in a facility, things can change rapidly. Whether there’s an emergency nearby or another task takes priority, frontline workers are expected to be agile and change directions quickly and as a team.
When your crews use video communication, adapting to these changes is more streamlined and more effective than traditional industrial radios. Project managers can target the individuals or crews they need and video conference them all at once. With one brief, all the workers can move as one to get their new assignment done, all while saving time. Project managers ensure their message was received and understood, being able to answer any questions right then, and workers get all the necessary information to get their jobs done.
Video communication, as opposed to traditional methods, gives a seamless communication experience from the office to the field.
Improved Frontline Communication
The most obvious, and probably the most important, advantage video communication provides to your frontline is overall improved communication. This can be between the office and the frontline, between crews or even between individual workers; wherever you’re experiencing issues with communication, weavix™ can help.
Our Internet of Workers (IoW) platform digitally connects every worker throughout your entire facility. With more industrial communication capabilities than any other platform, along with a secure, reliable network, video communication streamlines issues and operations without you having to worry. weavix™ puts video communication, plus a lot more, in the hands of every worker.
