Manufacturing
Connectivity, tracking, and workforce systems for the plant — M2M for connected machines, fleet tracking for logistics, asset tracking for equipment, and biometric access, attendance, and job costing.

Overview
A manufacturing plant depends on three things IPTech delivers: keeping its connected equipment online, tracking what moves through the yard, and controlling how its workforce moves through the facility. Managed M2M SIMs and international roaming keep machines, gateways, and connected equipment online across sites and borders. GPS fleet tracking follows inbound raw-material and outbound finished-goods vehicles with live location and ETAs, while BLE asset tags locate forklifts, tools, and mobile equipment across the plant and yard. On the floor, biometric access control restricts production zones to trained, authorized staff; multi-shift attendance tracks a rotating workforce; turnaround-contractor access manages the surge of temporary workers during shutdowns; and job processing and costing ties labor to output. For a manufacturer that means one supplier across the connectivity its equipment runs on, the tracking its logistics and assets depend on, and the access, attendance, and labor records its operations require — instead of stitching separate vendors together.
