Automation and private networks change operations in heavy industries

As heavy industries are moving away from analogue environments and man-operated equipment, connectivity that is exceptionally reliable and secure is required in digitalization and automation. Leveraging robotics or other technologies can create a safer operating environment, more efficient results and even drive new growth in industries.

In the past, dumpers to trucks or drilling machines have been man-operated. However this practice is declining as more of our customers are utilizing our wireless technology for increased automation. In this scenario, an operator can work remotely in a safe environment. Our network provides the connectivity between machines and the command centre, whereas Signal Partners supplies the device, such as routers or drones with the required software, thereby creating the link between the wireless network and the actual equipment.

Edzcom and Signal Partners ensure that the network and devices work seamlessly together. Customers can benefit from this collaboration through reduced total costs and improved efficiency in their operations. Leveraging capabilities allow companies to manage personal communications equipment for demanding and hazardous environments, and to provide improved safety and performance by enhanced situational awareness.

By selecting our joint network and device solutions, customers can be assured of its seamless function and best performance through our combined expertise. Moreover, our customers will have peace of mind on both the quality of the solution as well as its management and cost optimization.

As a result of the end-to-end solutions, customers can perform their operations more smoothly. Efforts to run, manage and maintain the network, together with customized devices will be automated and outsourced – allowing companies to redistribute their resources to other core aspects of their business.

We’re excited that our customers will have the ability to tap into next generation, state-of-the-art services, remote management and real-time safety features. This move enables companies more opportunities to innovate their own operations.
