Sua equipe de manufatura precisa de serviços de comunicação móvel. O que você deve considerar?

In my experience, the most important factor that makes things clear is the customer's need. In the first step, the needs of the customer should be known, and then based on that, a plan should be made to implement a mobile communication service.

It is key to understand the intersection of manufacturing and mobility given that manufacturing (e.g., a factory) is usually at a fixed location. Therefore, is the capability for mobility really a needed feature or is the mobile network simply to be used as a back-up should the fixed broadband connectivity go down?

Each business has a unique “fingerprint” an identity all on its own. Finding what matters to that business is what you have to do to best align with them. How does Mobile figure into that business plan? What has been your current experience with your Mobile provider?

When choosing a mobile communication service, consider your business needs, device features, and network aspects. Prioritize low latency for real-time tasks and ensure compatibility with IoT devices, including power requirements. This ensures your selected service aligns with current needs, supports growth, and provides reliable, low-latency communication for your business and IoT integration.

Any function can be implemented. However, it is important to determine whether the implementation of the function can actually generate business benefits. In other words, before implementing that feature, you need to research it to know the time and cost that will be used to implement that feature. Based on the research, it is necessary to decide whether it is the right decision to implement this function. At this time, business needs are absolutely necessary.

In addition to location, bandwidth, latency and cost, a key feature to consider is also the need for mobility or nomadicity. Will the user need to access the network constantly "on the go"? Or will they just need to have connectivity from time to time and at a certain set of given locations? Another key consideration is the coverage of the mobile network and if it is good at the manufacturing locations that need to be served?

Network option would depend on whether it is individual user or requirements of an organisation.Then again, time factor is also important like short, medium and long term Among the technology options, private Enterprise 5G networks are not listed. In many areas Licensed Service providers mat not be offering services or may offer after many years. It could be Mining, Armed Forces, Railways, ports etc. Issues of latency etc may be important in many industrial applications.

Depending on the need for communication, the network for communication is also selected. The optimal solution is to choose one of the GSM mobile networks (LTE, 5G), but also to combine, if possible, wi-fi local networks within the company: in plants and in office spaces. By using a combination of LTE or 5G with a wi-fi local network, costs can be significantly reduced, but also the availability of services and network congestion can be optimized. Of course, it is possible to combine several wi-fi networks according to business sectors, with the fact that, for example, management should have access to any of the networks. So there are many options to consider and choose the best solution.

Network needs for individual user are across two dimensions: high vs. low latency and on vs. off-premise. Off-premise always means mobile network; Take a close look at your latency requirements: if it is very low (<40ms), you'll need to consider 5G/MEC, while low-volume, asynchronous, high-latency comms could also point to NB-IoT. On premise it's mostly a reliability question: Do you need communication without frame drops, even when your devices moves or you have a high network load? Then an MPN is your solution of choice. Wifi is a "good enough" choice if your requirements are less strict or for "office" style comms, such as emails, etc.

With many choices out there, providing a solid network for your mobile workers is key. Great consistent data reliable voice and great selection of popular devices all make for great selection in the provider a business goes with.

Bei der Geräteauswahl ist es ratsam, zusätzlich zum genannten Aspekt auch den Lebenszyklus der Hardware und potenzielle Migrationsszenarien zu berücksichtigen. Dies umfasst Überlegungen wie den physischen Austausch der Hardware, akzeptable Ausfallzeiten, die Möglichkeit eines Anbieterwechsels bei mobiler Kommunikation und die Erweiterbarkeit der Hardware auf neue Übertragungsprotokolle oder Medien.

In addition to the devices themselves, the architecture of how they are connected also merits considerations. Will each device connect to the mobile network directly or will they connect via a hub point locally that provides a first level of data aggregation and possibly reporting for multiple devices before passing the information to/from the Internet?

It is not always laptops and smartphones etc that can provide your needs. Modern radio communications can be connected through telco services where you do not rely on phone apps and the like that rely on high data transfer rates to work. Bandwidth availability is critical in choice of devices.

Look at your use cases: are they mostly voice? Then a simple, rugged PTT solution is a good choice. Do you need to type a lot? Then pick a laptop. A simple, robust smartphone is a "jack of all trades" choice, giving you a lot freedom for future apps and use cases. In all cases, watch out for a long support span.

What are the every day tasks your employees engage in currently on the company provided mobile devices? This one question can really unlock a bevy of information to help you consult with the client on device decisions. Listen, really listen to what they say to you. They will divulge all you need to know to select the right device the first time.

The tariff plan is certainly key when analyzing the needs of each company. It is necessary to look at the needs of employees and managers according to the job descriptions and to choose the right offer of tariffs and tariff groups and the associated services that are offered along with the tariffs. It is often necessary to combine different tariffs on post-paid and pre-paid tariff models

This is where the “rubber meets the road” as they say. Minus device payments, this is what the client wants to control. Showing the value of this, data, talk, and text. Do they need metered or unlimited data? Remember the question about the devices. Quantify the amount of data per user on this to determine the most cost effective choice.

Service- oder Tarifpläne sind sehr vielfältig und hierbei entstehen in der Praxis häufig echte Fallen und Herausforderungen. Die Möglichkeiten am Markt sind extrem vielfältig, trotz der Tatsache, dass es überall Allnetflats zu sehr niedrigen Preisen gibt. Eine Vielzahl an Aktionen, Rahmenverträgen und Optionen sorgen für wenig Transparenz und es muss häufig viel Zeit investiert werden für Vergleiche von Inhalten und Konditionen. In all unseren Projekten sehen wir, dass es unfassbar viel Zeit kostet und nicht zielführend ist, wenn Unternehmen hier auf eigene Faust arbeiten, statt sich Profis an Bord zu holen. Ganz wesentliche Unterschiede sind auch zwischen klassischen Mobilfunktarifen und maschinellen / IOT-Tarifen zu finden.

Integration: How does your solution fit into the day to day of the business. What type of technological ecosystem does your company employ. Security? Automation? Office tasks? Sales platforms or customer management?

Ich bin der Meinung dass Konnektivität und mobile Endgeräte grundsätzlich sehr gute Integrationsmöglichkeiten mit sich bringen. Sowohl über Netzbetreiberportale als auch Mobile Device Management Systeme können sehr gute Nutzungsdaten abgerufen werden. Wichtig ist, dass die Betriebssysteme und Anwendungen verbreitete Systeme sind und / oder offen für Schnittstellen Anbindungen sind, damit Daten übermittelt werden können.

Do you have dedicated IT support staff on all your locations? Then you can service your devices in-house. But it rarely pays - your IT staff should better support your core business applications, a thing nobody else can. So a Device Lifecycle Management solution provided by an outside party is almost always a better choice. Don't waste your valuable IT techs on "my phone doesn't work" scenarios.

Depending on the size of the user community and overall company, you need to determine whether the first tier of support should be in house. In other words, do you want to have a small team of IT techs that coordinates the first line of support or should the users contact the service provider directly. Typically the former is a more desirable approach and can provide faster resolution for simpler issues.

Training. A lot if assumptions around mobile devices but you can increase efficiency and productivity with small simple changes. Make sure you know how to use them.
