Two-way radios for food processing plants that handle the noise, gloves, and cold storage.
Production, QA, sanitation, and shipping teams need reliable comms across a noisy plant — with PTT buttons usable through gloves and audio loud enough to cut through line noise.
Nationwide cellularNo FCC license72-hour shipping
A typical day on a food processing site.
4am sanitation is finishing a wet cycle. By 6, the production line starts a cut-and-pack run. QA is running first-shift product checks. Maintenance is responding to a conveyor jam on the secondary line. Receiving is taking in a tank truck at the back dock. Cold storage is at -10°F and someone is in there pulling for a stat order. Gloves are on. PPE is on. Earpiece cables get yanked on every shift. The radios that survive this environment aren't the same ones a hotel uses.
How POC LTE solves it.
- Cellular push-to-talk reaches into freezers, drying rooms, and packaging lines.
- Rugged housing and heavy-duty speaker mics — gloves-on PTT buttons.
- AES-256 encrypted production channels keep recipe and process data private.
- Separate channels for production, QA, sanitation, shipping, and maintenance.
- No FCC licensing or frequency coordination across multi-shift plants.
Roles we equip.
The radios are sized and programmed for who actually uses them. A front desk gets a different setup than a banquet captain or a security supervisor.
Plant manager
Coordinate shift handoffs, troubleshoot line-down events from anywhere.
Production supervisor
Run a shift, escalate line issues to maintenance and management.
QA tech
Pull samples mid-run, escalate holds to production and shipping.
Sanitation lead
Coordinate wet-cycle handoffs to production startup.
Maintenance tech
Respond to conveyor, packaging, and refrigeration alarms.
Receiving supervisor
Coordinate trailer ingest with inventory and production needs.
Shipping lead
Stage outbound loads, sync with QA on holds and releases.
Line lead
Run a station, escalate to production supervisor on the same channel.
