The Safe Manufacturing Ecosystem | Air Comm & Motorola Solutions | Phoenix, AZ - Salt Lake City, UT

Creating Safe Manufacturing

Today, modern manufacturers are continually tasked with optimizing operations, ensuring uptime and maintaining visibility throughout production. The push toward smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 is introducing increased connectivity and automation throughout the daily workflow in order to produce quality products while reducing costs and minimizing downtime.

Organizations are looking to accelerate improvements by connecting machines, people, data and value chains throughout their facility. The movement toward “smart” factories can deliver measurable business results and is expected to be the main driver of manufacturing competitiveness in the next five years. And all of this must come together while ensuring a production environment that is safe and secure for employees, visitors, property and assets.

Reach out today to see how these solutions can be applied to your operation.

SETTING THE SCENE...

Example Use Case: Restricted/Hazardous Risk Area

The Safe Manufacturing integrated ecosystem allows you to address everyday concerns as well as emerging situations through the four pillars — Detect, Analyze, Communicate, and Respond. Keep scrolling to explore how these pillars work together to address your manufacturing challenges through the example of a Restricted/Hazardous Risk Area.

DETECT

Overseeing the widespread and diverse areas and machinery of your facility can be a challenge. From controlling multiple points of entry to monitoring worker safety and securing key areas and equipment, detection plays a critical role in improving situational awareness and decreasing response times to potential issues and operational problems

Integrated video security uses artificial intelligence to create high visibility across your diverse facility all in one view.

Access control provides entry management, immediate lockdown capabilities and push notifications to devices.
Radio alerts ensure all personnel — across multiple teams — are automatically informed of critical information simultaneously.
Sensors and alarms help to oversee and maintain worker safety and plant production capabilities.

All of this comes together to provide you with better insights — so you always know what is happening across your facility.

ANALYZE

You’re responsible for monitoring a large facility filled with workers, secure areas, vast spaces, critical materials and equipment. Identifying unwanted individuals, tracking persons of interest, locating missing inventory and recognizing hazardous situations in this environment is a demanding task.

Appearance Search capabilities quickly and seamlessly explore video footage to identify persons or vehicles of interest across the plant floor or parking lot.

Video analytics detect potentially suspicious or hazardous activity, providing real-time insights into facility-wide movements.
The Focus of Attention interface quickly brings your attention to areas of video security interest, increasing efficiency and improving response time when evaluating a situation.

Ultimately, these solutions and insights are crucial to cutting through the noise, proactively locating points of interest and recognizing which events are important — so you can have eyes on the scene to evaluate and make an informed decision to take action

COMMUNICATE

Whether you are a foreman on-site needing to routinely communicate with your floor staff, plant management and other areas of the plant, or a response team dealing with a large-scale emergency such as a dangerous accident or hazardous material spill, clear and timely communication is key to keeping your teams connected and informed.

Radio communications instantly and reliably connects security, response teams, floor staff, field workers, foreman, plant management and local first responders when needed.
Broadband push-to-talk with multimedia capabilities extends your reach by enabling voice and data information to be shared across devices to those in other buildings or off-site.
Mass notification capabilities make it easy to notify and share information with your entire organization at a moment’s notice.
Connectivity — across devices, networks and locations — is an important part of ensuring you and your entire team are aware and informed at all times.

RESPOND

Whether it’s an everyday incident or an emergency situation, your response teams and facility personnel need to communicate with each other to coordinate a response in the most efficient way possible. Being ready and aware is critical to ensuring your team can quickly respond to incidents or problems before they escalate — decreasing downtime, maintaining productivity and ensuring the health and safety of workers.

Dynamic interoperability makes it easy to directly share data with response team personnel in real-time, enhancing situational awareness.
Incident management streamlines the logging of incident reports and makes it easy to share multimedia with other personnel when needed and inform future decision-making for safety, security and operational procedures.
Work order ticket management makes it easy to track work orders and close out tickets quickly and efficiently directly from your radio.

Because enabling rapid response and documenting past incidents can be the key to preventing incidents from becoming tragedies.

TAKING MANUFACTURING SAFETY TO THE NEXT LEVEL

It’s time to reimagine what safety technology can do for your manufacturing facility — driving efficiencies, bolstering performance, and assuring your teams are working safer, smarter, and more productively.
