For large supermarkets or warehouses, if you want to manage the warehouse efficiently, you must have efficient communication.When the communication efficiency in your warehouse is high, the overall work efficiency will increase, which can help you get more profits
But to achieve this goal, you must first know that the selected walkie-talkie will meet the needs of your workplace.
Some walkie-talkies may not be suitable for warehouse use, for example, the call range may be too weak. It may not be enough to withstand the bumps and scratches caused by the life of the warehouse. Or, just as bad, it can be overwhelmed, forcing you to waste money on features that don’t make any sense to you.
So, what functions should you look for in a warehouse intercom?
- Durability: First of all, the radio you choose must have a certain degree of resistance to pressure and fall, because this is a common occurrence in warehouses. Your radio must be able to withstand drops, bumps, stepping, etc. You certainly don’t want the radio to break easily. Therefore, we recommend a more resistant machine.
- It is best to choose a license-free walkie-talkie that is required by the local area: For Europe, you can use PMR446 radio with CE certificate;And for USA,you can choose FRS Radio or GMRS Radio. Alicense-free walkie-talkie can help you use the walkie-talkie legally and does not require any license. This can greatly help you reduce a lot of unnecessary legal troubles and restrictions
- Choose UHF frequency band to work indoors: Obviously, there are not many outdoor warehouses. This means that devices that are explicitly optimized for outdoor environments such as VHF radios are almost useless. Therefore, UHF or digital radio is recommended because they are designed for indoor use.
- With repeater function: Depending on the size of the warehouse, you may need a larger range of equipment than normal. For larger areas, we recommend using devices with repeater functions. In this way, you can double the range of the device and communicate clearly in a wide space.
- Sound clarity: Since the warehouse is very loud, it is best to find a radio that can block the sound of the warehouse. Some devices have technology to eliminate background noise, which may be of great help in achieving clear communication.
- Long battery life: Some warehouse shifts may be long. You want to ensure that the selected radio equipment can be moved through the longest warehouse shift.
