Steel

The heavy industry

Noise, dirt and high temperatures at blast furnaces and on cranes or rolling mills quickly turn reliable communication into seemingly unsolvable challenge. However, clearly intelligible communication between various areas of a factory is a key factor in assuring efficient and safe production operations. The specific conditions of heavy industry require reliable, high-quality terminals.

The robust ProCom industrial communication stations ensure smooth process workflows with clear voice transmission even in high noise levels. Additional speakers, flashing lights, and sound protection hoods complete the system in extreme environments.
