Manufacturing and Distribution
Warehouses, Factories
Manufacturing facilities and distribution centers are always looking to increase efficiency and minimize loss. Through SARA’s wireless sensor network, integration tool set and broadcast communication capabilities, these goals are achievable.
Increasing Operational Efficiency
Sensors can be put in place to monitor various pieces of equipment. In the event that machinery fails, SARA can alert the appropriate individuals immediately. With a vast library of integrations, SARA can integrate to existing inventory systems to alert certain manufacturers or suppliers when a particular inventoried item is low.
Creating Environmental Awareness
Sensors can also be put in place to monitor environmental activities that may occur during operating and non-operating hours. By placing sensors throughout your warehouse or facility such as smoke/ flame detectors, moisture/ humidity detectors, cigarette busters, temperature monitors etc., SARA has the ability to detect a sudden environmental change or a system failure. If this occurs, SARA will alert the appropriate people to address the issue before it becomes a major concern that could cause damage or inventory loss. Improve safety compliance during operating hours and after hours by monitoring your equipment in critical areas, especially when employees are not present.
Enabling Broadcast Communication
Whether it is to improve communication on a loud industrial floor or to get messages to employees in remote warehouses, SARA has the ability to send regularly scheduled, recurring events and “quick messages” to specified groups or individual employees. The technology uses a “text-to-voice” capability which is integrated with the phone system. Quick Messages are an effective tool for last minute shift changes or safety related information, such as inclement weather. Facility personnel can easily update information and schedule or create alerts on-demand. Announcements can also be in text form and sent to LED wall boards on the warehouse floor, via email or via text to cellular devices.
