Two Companies Team up to Help Manufacturers' Communications
RICHFIELD, OH- With competition in the manufacturing industry on the rise in recent years amidst the vast cost increases in the price of oil and transportation, the ability for facility managers and superintendents to develop, maintain and enhance ways that can improve productivity, while not sacrificing efficiency, has become critical to market success.
According to data from a National Association of Manufacturer's survey conducted in 2007, the manufacturing industry represents approximately 19.5 percent of all of the U.S. Economy. With its place in the market expected to grow even more in the coming years, manufacturers are attempting to first identify, and then utilize all of the tools at their disposal to lower costs while increasing profits.
It's left some manufacturers to 'take to the waves.'
Many manufacturing plants and facilities are cutting costs by further enhancing their use of "radio waves" and thereby their ability to communicate, all while remaining productive and efficient. With the need to have plant employees communicating with each other to confirm and process orders quickly and efficiently, the utilization of two-way radios has given some manufacturers an edge.
One company located in Richfield, Ohio - ProMarketing, Inc.(PMI), working in partnership with Applied Industrial Technologies based out of Cleveland, Ohio with more than 445 facilities nationwide, is helping end-users 'take to the waves' and improve their communication efficiencies by offering the new Motorola RDX Series business two-way radios.
"The downturn in the economy has forced the manufacturing industry to look to their own operations to cut costs," said Sean Stetler, vice president of ProMarketing, Inc., an Authorized Motorola Market Development Distributor of two-way radios and accessories. "But in the industry's effort to cut costs, an opportunity has emerged for us to step in and help manufacturers increase efficiencies and productivity at a very affordable cost."
Together, PMI and Applied Industrial Technologies are selling lightweight, easily programmable, rugged business two-way radios to manufacturing facilities across the country at a faster pace than in most recent years. Why? Because the current challenges confronting the industry, such as working more safely, operating at same productivity levels under tighter deadlines, thinner profit margins, performing more work with fewer employee resources and avoiding costly mistakes, all require more efficient solutions.
"The fact that facility managers and their employees can communicate with each other in real-time has given the industry's operations the ability to quickly and efficiently take care of business," said Bruce Williams, account manager at Applied Industrial Technologies. "The new RDX Series offers a variety of radio options perfect for our customer's needs."
