Buying and switching
Do you need internet access across the shop floor to use it?
You need connectivity where records are created: the sales officer's phone, the sales admin desk, the works manager and the dispatch point. A phone on mobile data is enough for field work.
In short
You need connectivity where records are created: the sales officer's phone, the sales admin desk, the works manager and the dispatch point. A phone on mobile data is enough for field work.
Plants worry about this more than they need to. The number of connected points required is small, and most are places that already have a phone or a computer.
Where a plant has weak coverage in a shed, the practical answer is to record at the office end of the process and keep the floor's input to job card updates.
Nothing depends on a machine sitting in your building, so a power cut in the plant does not lose the day's records.
