WALT FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE COMMUNICATIONS
Enable your frontline with the Walt® Smart Radio System by weavix® — built for food and beverage communications to increase worker safety, collaboration, and productivity.
Your industry has unique challenges and requires purpose-built food and beverage technology, but not all radios are created equally. You depend on real-time communications at the right place and the right time so you can keep food and workers safe.
Most errors are due to slow or missed communications. Walt is a new food and beverage technology that lets you connect with your workers instantly.
The Walt Smart Radio System reduces costly delays where legacy two-way radios come up short. With Walt, your team can send voice, picture, or video messages at the push of a button. Because far too often, the difference between a smooth production run and wasted product is clear communication.

Good communication in food and beverage processing plants is challenged by frequent loud noises. Walt’s Hear Clear™ noise cancellation technology ensures everyone receives every message, every time, even on the noisiest production floors.
Incoming messages are dictated aloud and transcribed on Walt’s touchscreen. And each of your staff members can get real-time translations in 20+ languages and dialects. Keep all your workers on the same page, no matter how loud it gets.
Traditional food and beverage business communication solutions can create dangerous gaps during incidents like chemical leaks, machinery accidents, or evacuations. Reduce emergency response times with our mass alert system, dedicated safety channels, and man-down detection.
Dumb two-way radios for food and beverage are inadequate for modern frontline workers. You need a smart radio specially built for manufacturing teams, a solution that supports your company’s strict safety protocols.
Walt devices are IP68 ruggedized (water-, dust-, and drop-resistant) and Class 1 Div. 2 certified, enabling clear communication without compromising safety standards.
Your diverse workforce can only perform at its best with the right technology in the food and beverage industry. They need a solution to overcome language barriers.
The Walt Smart Radio System offers AI-powered translation for 20+ common languages and dialects. And Walt gives you real-time transcriptions so everyone can stay on the same page.
Every time there’s a problem with your production line, it might take 45 minutes to organize the right people, parts, and tools to fix it. How much does that cost you in terms of downtime and wasted product?
Walt lets you easily send pictures and videos of the issue so your maintenance team can quickly get you up and running again.

Efficient communication in food and beverage manufacturing is immediate, clear, and accessible. The Walt Smart Radio System by weavix lets you share audio, image, and video messages with the push of a button. Our food and beverage customers use Walt to address quality issues, coordinate equipment maintenance, and resolve safety concerns without idle time, misfires, or misunderstandings.
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 conversations almost impossible. Multilingual teams often lose time searching for translators. Hardsh cleaning procedures, temperature shifts, and exposure to ingredients or chemicals can damage traditional devices.
Legacy two-way radios like Motorola often create “dead zones” that interrupt communication, requiring costly upgrades and add-ons. In fact, only about 10% of frontline workers currently have access to reliable communication tools.
The Walt® Smart Radio System by weavix® eliminates these challenges with AI translation and transcription in 20+ languages, multimedia messaging, and rugged IP68-certified devices. Walt delivers uninterrupted coverage with Wi-Fi, LTE, and CBRS, ensuring your team never misses a critical message — even in the harshest food and beverage environments.
Teams communicate most effectively in food processing plants when they use purpose-built systems designed for their unique environments. Effective food and beverage radios must include advanced noise cancellation, waterproof design, and rugged durability to withstand production conditions where smartphones and consumer devices fail.
The most successful facilities move beyond basic push-to-talk, adopting smart radios that enable unlimited channels, real-time translation, and multimedia messaging. With the Walt® Smart Radio System, workers can share photos and videos for faster maintenance, resolve safety issues instantly, and stay connected across departments without licensing fees or coverage gaps.
For food and beverage manufacturers, the Walt Smart Radio System is the most effective way to ensure reliable, safe, and compliant communication plant-wide.
New trends in communication for the food and beverage processing industry put the needs of workers at the center of your company’s digital transformation .
Push-to-picture and push-to-video complement verbal communication, enabling precise maintenance diagnostics and quality issue resolution. Plus, AI-powered language translation is breaking down painful communication barriers for multilingual workforces. This type of remote collaboration is transforming frontline work in food and beverage.
New technology in the food and beverage industry connects previously siloed systems, allowing seamless interaction between office staff and production teams. Man-down systems, automatic check-ins, and mass alerts are becoming standard safety features. All these new trends create a comprehensive communication safety net that protects workers while greatly improving operational efficiency.
The Walt® Smart Radio System by weavix® is the leading choice for food and beverage factories. Unlike legacy radios such as the Motorola CP200d or Midland BR200, Walt delivers more than just push-to-talk: it supports voice, photo, and video messaging, AI-powered translation in 20+ languages, and one-touch mass emergency alerts.
With IP68 ruggedization and Class 1 Div. 2 certification, Walt is built for noisy, wet, and hazardous food processing environments where traditional radios fail. Each device offers nationwide coverage (Wi-Fi + LTE), unlimited permission-based channels without costly FCC licensing, and is backed by our weCare™ program for free device replacement.
For plants that need more than walkie-talkies, Walt sets the new standard for safety, productivity, and compliance in food and beverage communication.
Walt uses several advanced technologies to create a unified hub for food and beverage communications. The Walt Smart Radio System combines traditional PTT capabilities with AI-powered language translation for 20+ languages and dialects, plus ambient noise cancellation. These features enable diverse teams to communicate clearly over the loud machinery sounds common in food processing environments.
This food and beverage technology for communications also includes push-to-picture and push-to-video messaging for real-time visual collaboration, so maintenance teams can diagnose equipment issues remotely and quality teams can share visual evidence of product concerns.
Walt’s flexible network architecture works on WiFi, cellular (including public or private LTE/CBRS), and FRS for redundancy, ensuring reliable coverage throughout expansive facilities. The system incorporates man-down alerts and mass notification capabilities, creating a complete safety communication solution designed specifically for the challenges of food and beverage processing.
