Reduce Downtime, Enhance Safety, and Increase Productivity

Manufacturing plants are busy environments with people, machines, and materials constantly moving. To increase security and improve operations, BearCom offers manufacturing and warehouse facilities two-way radio systems, video surveillance, asset management systems, and more. Our goal is to help you streamline production, maximize efficiency, and increase safety, all while reducing errors and missed opportunities.

Just-In-Time Technologies

Did you know that 82% of companies have experienced unplanned downtime over the past three years; and downtime can cost a company as much as $260,000 an hour.1

Did you know that the total cost of work injuries in 2017 was $161.5 billion; and 70,000,000 days were lost due to injury in 2017, according to the National Safety Council.2

Did you know that global industries lose $20 billion (5%) of annual production and nearly 80% of losses are preventable.3

Small inefficiencies cause big problems. Whether your operations rely on Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, IoT, M2M, SCADA, Just In Time Inventory, or other high-efficiency processes to improve productivity and reduce downtime, BearCom’s integrated voice, video, and data solutions help drive success.

Two Way Radios

Motorola Solutions two-way radio systems are easy to operate and deliver crystal clear communications, with integrated voice and data capabilities available on many models.

BearCom works with production facilities of all sizes to deploy the right solutions for single-site, multi-site, and wide area networks. You’ll meet or beat production deadlines with radios that deliver superior sound quality and extended range, durability and reliability, noise-canceling Intelligent Audio features, and advanced safety options.

Radios can be programmed to receive auto alerts when production lines go down to immediately notify maintenance and management teams.

Two Way Radio Accessories

The right two-way radio accessories ensure your team gets the best communications performance with the greatest ease-of-use.

Headsets, earpieces, and speaker microphones enable hands-free operation. In addition, BearCom offers multiple headset designs – including hearing protection ear muffs for high decibel noise attenuation in manufacturing environments. Belt clips and carry-cases keep radios close by, yet out-of-the way.

Spare batteries ensure that radios are ready to deliver peak signal strength when they are needed most. Multi-unit chargers available to reduce electrical outlet demands and shelf space requirements.

Video Surveillance

In facilities of all sizes, video surveillance is proven to deter theft and vandalism, as well as isolate security incidents sooner to make your plant safer. BearCom is an Authorized Enterprise Partner for Avigilon, a Motorola Solutions company. Teaming up with Avigilon, we offer the latest in video surveillance systems. End-to-end solutions include: cameras, monitoring equipment, infrastructure, network management, storage, and access control.

What sets Avigilon apart from other systems are the programming and built-in Artificial Intelligence analytics, which save time when sourcing stored video after a security incident or accident, or to document procedural protocols and compliance. Avigilon cameras also reduce Total Cost of Ownership by providing higher resolution imaging, making it possible to use fewer units.

BDA-DAS Systems

A Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) is part of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), both of which are signal boosters used to increase coverage for wireless two-way radios and cellular devices. Since variables such as building materials, dead spots, and interference offer unique challenges within a facility, nearly every BDA-DAS solution is custom-designed.

Many plants use signal boosters to improve communication efficiency and safety for their two-way radio users. In addition, many localities require BDAs to boost two-way radio signal strength on Public Safety frequencies to ensure that first responders remain in contact with each other during an emergency. BearCom has extensive experience deploying BDA-DAS signal boosters.

Data, WiFi & CBRS

BearCom stands ready to help your company navigate, integrate, and implement the best voice, video, and data connectivity strategies in your production facilities. Some of the technologies we offer that enable better convergence include data and Wi-Fi solutions, private LTE networks, the new Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point bridges, and other private area network approaches.

To improve manufacturing operations, BearCom offers scanning, printing, and mobile computing solutions from Zebra Technologies. These automated devices help integrate and streamline inventory, receiving, production, packing and shipping; as well as tracking records for compliance requirements.
