Do I Need to Improve Industrial Communication in my Facility?

The short answer? Yes!

Open communication is one of the most effective ways of streamlining and optimizing work. Yet, many facilities have limited means of communication for their workforce. Those that do have communication devices are limited to voice communication and only to the other subsets of workers that have the same devices. The legacy systems currently used in facilities are cost-prohibitive when it comes to giving a radio to every worker. 

While not every worker has a radio, those that do are limited to only voice inter-company communication. On any given day, there is a large amount of employees and contractors on a facility to run and maintain, how are they communicating? Or even during a more specific time like a Turnaround, when hundreds of contractors are in your facility temporarily, how can you and your crews communicate with them?

The short answer? You can’t, and that’s a big deal. Time is wasted every single day because workers have to search for answers because they cannot communicate.

Digital Toolbelt

Industrial workers need rugged digital tools built for the field just as much as they need their tape measure, level or square in their toolbelt. The availability of these tools for connection and communication has been inadequate and the cost has been prohibitive, until now.

weavix™ makes it possible for every worker in your facility, whether they’re an employee, contractor or remote, to communicate digitally without hassle on one holistic platform. 

Industrial Field Communications vs The Office

Office workers have it all, laptops, phones, tablets and an almost limitless number of different communication platforms to choose from. Teams can communicate across the office, the state and even the globe from anywhere. Communication from a desk has always been a priority for companies, but for the deskless workforce, it’s typically a lower priority.

What if the efficiency or ease of communication we see in the office could be reproduced in the field? That’s where weavix™ comes in.

To achieve digital initiatives, companies need to cater to the needs of the fieldworker just as much as they do for the office worker. weavix™ delivers a digital toolbelt for the frontline with Smart Radio 5.0. Built through the lens of the frontline worker, Smart Radio 5.0 includes  weavix™ smart digital tools and the weavix™ mobile application, all made to improve overall industrial communication.
