Manufacturers Produce Improved Operational Efficiencies with Signonafrica WLANs

Achieving Agility

In order to grow and maintain a competitive edge, attract new customers, and produce consistent, top-of-the-line products, manufacturing companies need to have the operational flexibility to quickly react to changing market conditions. To achieve this nimbleness and optimize existing operations, manufacturers are continually looking for new methods to automate business processes such as inventory management, order creation and fulfillment, asset management and distribution logistics. Many manufacturers recognize the valuable role a wireless infrastructure can play in improving such business practices, yet concerns around cost, complexity and reliability have made companies hesitant to adopt new solutions.

Manufacturing Myths About Wireless

The environmental conditions at manufacturing sites, the presence of heavy equipment, numerous production lines and distributed warehouses, often leads to the belief among manufacturers that getting consistent, high-performing wireless coverage is cost prohibitive. The reality is that dynamic manufacturing environments, with operations spread across facilities with thousands of square footage, make wireless an attractive and cost-effective solution.

Requirements: Taking Inventory of Your Mobile Needs
As many manufacturing facilities have limited IT resources, wireless equipment for this industry must be easy to install, manage and use. In addition, new deployments require unparalleled security features to protect the network from intrusions and ensure the consistent performance of existing network applications. With the rigorous and ever-changing demands placed on manufacturers today, wireless solutions of choice must also be flexible, reliable and scalable enough to keep pace with an organization's growth and expanding business needs.
