Warehouse Operations

As a key component in the manufacturing and supply chain processes, warehouse operations, whether in-house or outsourced, have become increasingly critical in business performance not only as a cost centre but also as a means to delivering improved efficiency productivity and customer satisfaction.

As a global manufacturer of electronics products, we are more than aware of the impact warehouse operations have on the productivity of our manufacturing facilities and distribution centres.

The free-flow of communications between warehouse management, their staff, production, stores, purchasing, sales teams and customers is vital to keeping production lines moving and the efficient management of component and finished stock inventory where accuracy, speed and detailed reporting are in high demand.

We designed NEXEDGE® digital two-way radio systems to operate efficiently in the difficult environment of a modern warehouse where extensive use of concrete, steel racking, a proliferation of electronics, mechanical handling equipment and great distances can make communications a real challenge, with radio frequency interference and background noise adding to the mix.

Kenwood's NEXEDGE® peer to peer and trunked digital two-way radios and walkie talkie solutions have been proven in the most demanding manufacturing and distribution warehouse operations around the world, including our own.

Among its many benefits, NEXEDGE® Digital Two-Way walkie-talkies and in-vehicle units additionally feature an Analogue/Digital Mixed Mode which allows them to communicate automatically with any existing analogue radios whatever the make; providing a straightforward and economical way to use existing radios while migrating to the benefits of digital without compromising service quality and reliability.

All NEXEDGE® hand portable walkie talkies conform to MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G for ruggedness and durability and are IP54/55 Water & Dust Intrusion rated, making them ideal for operation in harsh environments.

Applications include storage depots, component stores, manufacturing facilities, bonded warehouses and distribution centres where ruggedness, dependability, performance, safety and efficiency key considerations.

Scalability

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radio systems are designed to grow with your requirements starting with hand-portable walkie-talkies and mobile units for peer to peer communications and scaling up to trunked networks able to accommodate large user groups spread over wide areas (local, regional, national and international) through the use of base stations and repeaters.

Performance

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies reduce external noise, making them ideal for noisy environments.

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies are compact, lightweight, rugged and easy to set-up and use by design.

Coverage

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies deliver strong, clear signals over a much wider area than analogue systems.

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies offer wider coverage through the greater sensitivity offered by digital narrow-bandwidth technology which also results in lower battery consumption than analogue sets.

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies in trunked configuration and employing IP connectivity can link remote sites across great distances.

Flexibility 

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies offer peer-to-peer or wide area trunked capabilities for local, national and international coverage.

Safety

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies incorporate status buttons, enhanced text messaging, unit ID and man-down functions.

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies can be programmed for both “Emergency” mode (push a pre-programmed  key to transmit a data alert message) 'Man Down' and “Lone Worker” mode (where the radio automatically transmits an alert  if it isn’t used within a preset period), giving your staff confidence in challenging situations knowing there will be backup at hand.

Efficiency

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies can provide voice, data and tracking on the same network at the same time allowing you meaning to monitor staff movements and deploy resources effectively.

Wide Range

• Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies are available in a wide range of tough, reliable hand-held walkie talkies and in-vehicle formats. These can be simple models for one-to-one communications, to more advanced radios systems with base stations and repeaters to provide extended coverage and networks incorporating sophisticated calling/signaling, messaging and logging facilities for management control.

The range is supported by a full complement of accessories including batteries, chargers, cases and belt hooks, headsets etc.

Future Proof
