The best communication system for distribution center teams is instant, hands free, and works across docks, racking, and yards without smartphones. The Walt Smart Radio System by weavix delivers push-to-voice over LTE and Wi-Fi with real-time translation, photo and video messaging, GPS visibility, and time-stamped transcripts, with no app required.
What should a distribution center communication system do?
Distribution centers run on speed and accuracy across inbound docks, putaway, picking, replenishment, and outbound loading. Communication has to keep up without slowing anyone down. It needs to be:
- Instant, so a request reaches the right person in seconds
- Hands free and durable for forklifts, scanners, and gloves
- Audible on loud floors
- Usable by multilingual crews
- Able to share a photo of a damaged pallet or a blocked aisle
Why do radios and phones fall short in distribution centers?
Traditional two-way radios offer quick push-to-talk but add channel congestion, limited range through racking, and no transcripts or documentation. Cell phones add apps but slow work with screens, passwords, and fragile hardware. Neither gives supervisors a record of who said what or where workers are.

- Push-to-voice without channels, over LTE and Wi-Fi
