Manufacturing
In manufacturing environments, Motorola’s TEAM VoWLAN Solution allows workers to carry a single mobile device instead of multiple ‘point-functionality’ devices. Now managers and others can access HMI, SCADA, quality, warehouse and plant maintenance line of business applications in real time as well as email, push-to-talk radio services, text messaging and more. All on a single pocketable device.
In manufacturing operations, many workers spend a good portion of the day away from their desk. Supervisors are moving throughout the facilities to manage different aspects of the business necessary to meet production levels and schedules. Equipment technicians are out on the production floor performing routine maintenance and fixing malfunctioning machinery to keep the production line up and running — crucial in an environment where unplanned downtime can translate into hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute. Operators are at industrial equipment stations on the plant floor involved in the production of goods. And quality engineers are moving throughout the building, ensuring that incoming raw goods bound for the production line, work-in- process (WIP) and finished goods all meet defined quality standards.
