TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATIONS FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS
As industrial technology evolves, teams need digital tools to stay connected, safe, and efficient. With the Walt Smart Radio System, you enable every worker to enhance their performance and well-being, all in an easy-to-implement way.
Frontline technology adoption simplifies your workforce communication, optimizes time-consuming business processes, and facilitates real-time access to data — but the journey isn’t without its hurdles.
Companies often fail to prioritize digital industrial tech, having difficulty in finding solutions that fit within their budget. Whether it’s upgrading communication solutions or deploying smart radios, organizations may struggle to discover options with no hidden fees and an affordable subscription model.
Many organizations still depend on older, familiar systems that weren’t designed to work with modern solutions — just look at the difference between legacy and smart radios, for example.
Integration can cause compatibility issues and complicate implementation, resulting in higher training costs and the need for additional infrastructure.
The adoption of advanced industrial technologies doesn’t end with installation. Maintaining systems and keeping mobile devices functional requires regular updates and training programs.
Without ongoing support and easy-to-use solutions, even the best tools can quickly become underused.
Digital adoption can be intimidating, especially for team members used to established workflows and tools. Frontline workers may hesitate to embrace unfamiliar technology solutions, fearing they’ll disrupt their routine or add complexity to their tasks.
Digital tools help overcome language barriers, distance, and outdated systems. Take a look at some of the best technologies for frontline workers and how they change the way workers communicate.
When integrated into digital tools, AI can translate spoken or written messages, so teams with language barriers can collaborate and build stronger relationships.
How It Works
Advanced communication devices like smart radios allow frontline workers to dictate messages or receive information audibly without stopping their tasks, improving productivity and performance.
How It Works
Traditional Push-To-Talk (PTT) has evolved with PT3, a weavix technology that lets workers share messages through various media formats, simplifying communication in daily tasks and critical situations.
How It WorksDeploying technology isn’t just about promoting digital transformation or modernizing operations — it’s about accelerating adoption while making the workplace safer and more productive. Equip your workers with a smart radio and the right set of digital tools they need to perform at their best.
With the Walt Smart Radio System, you deliver mass alerts instantly across your facility or a specific area. Our multi-tiered approach allows you to classify the alerts depending on the severity of the situation.
While traditional two-way radios usually operate on limited and busy channels where everyone hears everything, Walt lets you create and customize 1-to-1 and group channels with no limits on the fly.
This way, workers only get only the information they need, and you can set up channels for specific teams or purposes, keeping communication clear and focused.
Traditional two-way communication often lacks advanced security measures, leaving conversations vulnerable to interception and compromising security.
We put security first with encryption and strong authentication features, making it the preferred choice for team communication.
The Walt Smart Radio System provides a global directory that allows users from inside and outside of your organization to connect with anyone in the ecosystem, with permission. This enables workers to talk across the facility, to the office, or to the field as needed.
You can find contractors or specialists by expertise, name, or job title.
There’s no longer an excuse to allow a communications gap between the office and the field. The frontline wants to stay connected. Putting a Walt Smart Radio in the hands of each worker makes frontline technology adoption seamless. Enable your staff to collaborate and perform at their best, anytime, anywhere.
Industrial technology should be simple, safe, and smart. This is essential for the modern frontline worker. The Walt Smart Radio System supports every aspect of smooth communication.
With a rugged design and an IP68, Class 1 Div. 2 safety rating, every worker has a voice to easily collaborate and feel part of your team.
Using our mobile app or web console, you can work alongside your frontline crews as you normally would, on the go or from any office.
Our managed service plan takes care of your smart radios, so you can keep communications flowing.
