The most effective communication in food and beverage environments works across departments, connecting production, maintenance, quality, and safety teams on a single unified platform. The right smart radio solution provides reliable and safe service in noisy, wet conditions where traditional smartphones and legacy two-way radio systems fail.
These smart radios must include noise cancellation and waterproof design to endure the evolving challenges of modern food processing environments.
Food and beverage manufacturers face constant communication challenges ranging from noisy production environments to language barriers and hazardous conditions. Loud machinery makes clear communication almost impossible. Multilingual teams must stop what they’re doing to find someone who can translate. And workers have to deal with harsh washing procedures, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to ingredients and cleaning chemicals.
To make matters worse, facilities often have “dead zones” where traditional communication methods fail. Legacy two-way radios from Motorola are regularly cited for having the most dead zones, even though these devices require regular upgrades and expensive beacons. Unfortunately, only 10% of frontline workers have any kind of communication tools at all. But rugged, waterproof radios for food processing can overcome all these challenges.
Production lines can’t stop while you navigate all of these communication issues. The Walt Smart Radio System offers AI translation and transcription in 20+ common languages and dialects with no dead zones. Walt is a rugged, waterproof solution for communication in food and beverage that can help you avoid safety risks, resolve quality issues, and fix operational inefficiencies.

The best radios for a food and beverage factory go above and beyond basic PTT communications, incorporating features like multimedia messaging, real-time translation, and emergency alerts.
Consumer and survivalist walkie-talkies for food and beverage are insufficient for these manufacturing facilities. The best radios for the food and beverage industry must withstand high noise and wet environments, resist dust and contaminants, and operate reliably through long shifts without battery concerns. These smart radios should include noise cancellation technology that filters out machinery sounds while maintaining crystal-clear voice transmission.
Walt Smart Radios check all these boxes, with the added benefit of Class 1 Div. 2 certification for use in hazardous environments that are so common in food and beverage manufacturing. And every Walt comes with unlimited permission based channels so you can avoid costly licensing through the FCC.
With our weCare program, any damaged devices are quickly replaced free of charge.
