Manufacturing
Manufacturing is typically a no-nonsense business that requires an exact and
accurate bottom line. Manufacturing industries want to do the following:
■ Keep in contact with vendors and suppliers.
■ Remain mobile within a factory location.
■ Provide a safe environment for employees.
■ Expand telephony services as the business grows.
Keep in contact with vendors and suppliers
As vendors and suppliers change, factories must stay in contact to keep costs of
goods at the lowest level. Least-cost routing (World Class Routing) means that
your employees will save money while making important long distance calls.
Telephone features such as Speed Dialing allow employees to place calls quickly
and efficiently.
DEFINITY AUDIX voice messaging ensures that calls from vendors and suppliers
will not be missed, especially since critical components in the manufacturing
process change so quickly. Voice messages can be retrieved from any telephone
on the system, or from remote locations.
Remain mobile anywhere in the factory
With the wireless mobility solutions offered with the system, workers can move
freely around the factory, but still remain in contact with calls from the suppliers
and vendors, or from associates.
Provide a safe environment for employees
With the machinery used in the manufacturing industry, accidents do happen.
Should an emergency occur in the factory, the Crisis Alert feature allows
employees to contact local emergency agencies quickly. When this call is made,
the attendant as well as digital stations and up to three pagers are notified of the
call so that when emergency personnel arrive, someone can help them find the
exact location of the emergency. This feature is critical in a large factory.
Expand telephony services
With support for up to 25000 stations, the system can be expanded as your
business grows. You can add more telephones for your engineering and
purchasing departments as new opportunities arise.
