Motorola Solutions' technology helps deliver real-time intelligence across manufacturer environments to drive growth


SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to drive down costs, increase efficiencies and reduce errors to set themselves apart from the competition. New technology from Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYS: MSI) helps manufacturers drive intelligent production in their plants and factories, deliver flawless fulfillment in their warehouses and distribution centers and provide dynamic service to their customers in the field.

Real-time intelligence is available on two-way radios and rugged mobile devices transmitting over industrial wireless networks and two-way radio systems.

It enables manufacturers to connect more people in more places with the information they need. Motorola is also announcing the MC67 with dual wireless WAN connectivity that supports access to wireless carriers to offer greater connectivity options for manufacturers with significant sales, service, and delivery workforces interfacing with customers every day.
