Case Study: Mars Wrigley improves worker safety and alarm management with Ascom enterprise communication solutions

Mars Wrigley deploys Ascom enterprise communication and coordination solutions at five French production facilties

Mars Wrigley Confectionery, a global confectionery manufacturer, sought to renew its mobility infrastructure and improve process management across its independent yet interconnected French production facilities. The challenge involved implementing a uniform solution that could integrate and automate all technical and personal alarms to meet the company's own stringent agro-food standards.

Ascom deployed its enterprise communication and coordination platform, including an IP-DECT solution, across five sites. This provided fluid, optimized management of production lines and mobile workers by integrating and prioritizing all alerts onto a single handheld device. The Ascom solution significantly improved worker safety with geo-location for rapid intervention and offered the flexibility to handle various alarms, even in sensitive ATEX environments, leading to better cost management and manufacturing flexibility.
