Ready mix concrete companies provide essential and easy-to-use concrete for personal and commercial use. Similar to the construction industry ready mix concrete companies support, the ready mix concrete industry is a large, international industry rife with competitors.
One way that ready mix concrete companies have been getting an edge over their competitors is by implementing push-to-talk (PTT) two-way radios into their operations and at their concrete plants to increase communication and boost productivity. Below, we’ll go over the benefits of PTT two-way radios for ready mix concrete companies.
Durability
Ready mix concrete plants often pose a challenge to electronic devices. Dust from concrete production can find its way into the smallest cracks and crevices in devices, rendering them useless. When you go with cheap walkie-talkies or cellphones, you need to continually replace devices to keep employees in communication when they’re working, leading to high costs that hurt your bottom line.
It doesn’t have to be this way. One way two-way radios are measured for durability is with an IP rating. IP is a two-digit number. The first digit measures water resistance on a scale from 1-6 and the second number measures dust resistance from 1-8. Therefore, you might want a rugged IP68 radio at your ready mix concrete plants to ensure that you buy quality devices that last and don’t need to be regularly replaced.
One such device is the PTT-624G Rugged LTE Radio. Not only is it IP68-rated, but it’s also tested to withstand falls exceeding five feet and can survive submersion in three feet of water for up to 30 minutes.
Clear Communication
Clear communication is vital to ensure that employees can reach one another and avoid misunderstandings. Peak PTT two-way radios provide crystal-clear communication via existing LTE networks. Plus, they offer noise-cancellation technology, which cuts out background noise and allows clear messages to be sent even in noisy environments.
Long Range
Peak PTT two-way radios use existing cellular infrastructure to send and receive messages. This gives Peak PTT two-way radios a virtually unlimited range. Plus, they have WiFi connectivity, allowing users to connect to local networks instead.
Easy to Use
Peak PTT two-way radios are extremely easy to use and work right out of the box. All you need to do is press the button and speak, making communication simple for all employees, and allowing them to keep one hand free while speaking and both hands free when listening.
Panic Button
Some of our radios also feature an SOS or panic button that allows users to press a button that sends an emergency alert out with their location. Therefore, if an employee gets into trouble, emergency medical services can be sent right away.
