Pioneering a More Collaborative Future for Manufacturing: weavix™ is Exhibiting at Hannover Messe 2023

WICHITA, Kan. – weavix™ is set to showcase the latest innovations to its communications and productivity platform on April 17-21 at Hannover Messe 2023, a leading international conference specializing in industrial transformation for manufacturers.

weavix™ will highlight its integration with Microsoft Azure Private 5G Core, which enables its platform to deliver enterprise-vital solutions, thus supporting the Internet of Workers platform with integration with Azure services, enhanced security, low latency and dependability.

Following the company’s collaboration with Microsoft at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, weavix™ is rolling out its integration with Microsoft Teams®. The goal is to leverage the connectivity and solutions provided by Azure Private 5G Core to allow for collaboration between office and frontline workers and address efficiency issues more directly.

“Microsoft has a long and tremendous history with communication technology for office workers,” said Ben Burrus, Chief Product Officer at weavix™. “The interoperability between Teams® and weavix™ helps to break down the overt communication barriers that exist between the two distinct groups of workers and, in turn, makes the other 80% of the workforce more accessible. This pairing allows for a seamless and direct route for office workers to communicate using audio and video to frontline workers via the walt™ smart radio.”

“Modernizing and empowering frontline workers represent a big opportunity in the evolution and advancement of the manufacturing industry,” said Shriraj Gaglani, VP of Product Development, Microsoft. “Manufacturing personnel must be able to effectively communicate on-site and off to continue producing at optimal levels, and we are pleased to see weavix™ growing their portfolio of solutions using Azure private MEC and adding Microsoft Teams® integration to address this opportunity and unmet need.”

At the conference, manufacturing professionals and attendees can operate and test the walt™ smart radio and experience a complete demonstration of the platform’s communication and productivity solutions.

Hannover Messe is an international hotspot for the latest in technological advances for industry, drawing in an estimated 200,000 manufacturing professionals, exhibitors, decision-makers and industrial pioneers. 

weavix™ is exhibiting alongside Microsoft’s other co-innovation partners in Hall 17 as part of the Intelligent Factory sector. To meet with weavix™ at Hannover Messe 2023 in Hannover, Germany, schedule a time here.

Collaboration Brings Innovative Productivity Solutions to 3 Billion Frontline Workers Worldwide

WICHITA, Kan. – Today, weavix™ announced a collaboration with Microsoft that expands its capabilities to leverage the newest edge-to-cloud connectivity and platform services from Microsoft. weavix™, a leading software platform for frontline communication and productivity will utilize Microsoft Azure, Azure private MEC and begin exploring the use of Azure Space satcom technologies to deliver its full suite of enterprise vital applications.

“Our Internet of Workers™ [IoW] platform pairs a streamlined collaboration suite with reliable productivity tools and software that’s suitable for the frontline workplace,” said Blake Carlson, Chief Operating Officer at weavix™. “Microsoft’s infrastructure, solutions and integrations provide the ubiquitous connectivity critical in enabling weavix™ to best deliver vital applications to enterprises globally. This collaboration with Microsoft significantly advances our mutual objective of serving a new and historically underserved market – the frontline workforce.”

This effort strategically positions Azure private MEC as the epicenter of private wireless and the Internet of Workers™ platform. Together, these solutions enable low latency, reliable coverage and high-performance connectivity for enterprises to effectively streamline productivity and collaboration on the frontline.

Advanced Connectivity with Azure private MEC and Azure Space

Azure private MEC offers edge platform and private networking options that enable weavix™ to deliver its enterprise-vital solutions. With services ranging from cloud-managed container platform, advanced communications to productivity insights, Azure private MEC supports the Internet of Workers™ platform with enhanced security and dependability. 

“To maintain their competitive advantage enterprises worldwide must grow the productivity and maintain the safety of their frontline workers, often in poorly connected environments,” said Shawn Hakl, VP of Product Management, Azure for Operators. “The breadth of weavix’ s innovative suite of applications combined with the ubiquitous connectivity of Azure private MEC delivers enterprises a frontline communications tool that is easy to procure, deploy and manage. We anticipate weavix’s progressiveness in exploring satcom technologies to deliver an even wider range of connectivity options in disparate work environments will further accelerate their innovations and market positioning as a leading Modern Connected App for Industry 4.0 scenarios in multiple industry verticals.”

weavix™ joined Microsoft’s Independent Software Vendor (ISV) program for Azure private MEC to rigorously test its software in a variety of cloud-based and MEC environments and rapidly develop new innovations and features within its platform. The program is designed to empower industry solutions with Azure private MEC to unlock the power of 5G for enterprises. Right now, Microsoft and weavix™ are rapidly testing compatibility to expand connectivity options with Azure Space. This includes satellite communications optimized for scenarios when cloud terrestrial connectivity is limited or unstable, such as in remote or offshore sites.

Azure Space is positioned to revolutionize wireless deployment and satellite-enabled private cellular LTE which, with weavix™ interoperability, would unlock new doors in enterprise-grade connectivity for frontline workers to increase productivity and communicate effectively anytime and anywhere.  

Powered by Microsoft Azure

The data insights, collaboration tools and productivity solutions provided by weavix™ use Microsoft Azure. Microsoft’s deep portfolio of tools and cloud storage creates an accessible nesting area for data collected from weavix™. 

“weavix™ leverages Microsoft Azure to provide a suitable environment that powers both the communications stack and data consumption capabilities for our Internet of Workers™ platform,” said Ben Burrus, Chief Product Officer at weavix™. “The cognitive services available make it easy to implement core digital transformation principles to a frontline work environment so these workers can feel empowered, and enterprises can experience higher productivity levels across the board. This collaboration allows weavix™ to take full advantage of these capabilities and more that cloud computing has to offer.” 

Location and communications data from weavix™ can be readily accessed by users and executives through Workforce Diagnostics™. Enterprises have applied the insights gleaned from weavix™ to transform a variety of business functions.
