Keep Onsite Teams Connected
Send Custom Messages via the R-Link Watch
We’re expanding the utility of the R-Link watch with new worker messaging functionality. The new functionality will enable supervisors to send or pre-schedule custom messages, using the Reactec Analytics software, to reach workers wearing the R-Link watch across job sites and shop floors.
Custom messages can be sent to individuals, or coordinated to specific groups, working on onsite about a range of operating scenarios:
- Health, safety and well-being reminders
- Task assignment and work order scheduling
- Machine status and malfunction notifications
The R-Link worker messaging functionality is ideal for dynamic environments where teams are undertaking hands-on tasks. Clear and concise messages can be viewed with a quick glance to the wrist and acknowledged with a simple button press to limit any impact on productivity.
What’s more, if you are already using the R-Link watch, our new worker messaging capability can be deployed at no additional cost.
