Case Study: a large naval ship building company achieves 100% confined-space connectivity with Weavix

US Shipyard Uses weavix™ to Communicate with Workers Inside Steel Hulls of Naval Vessels

A large naval ship building company on the Gulf Coast faced a significant challenge as its workers inside the thick steel hulls of naval vessels were completely cut off from communication with crews outside. This lack of connectivity led to delays, project timeline issues, and reduced productivity. To solve this, the company turned to Weavix and implemented its walt smart radios and wilma confined space management assistant to provide a collaborative digital solution for its frontline workforce.

Weavix solved the problem by deploying wilma’s battery-operated network repeaters to extend connectivity into the confined spaces, achieving 100% coverage inside the ship hulls. They then equipped every worker with a walt smart radio, enabling seamless communication and file sharing. This solution dramatically increased worker productivity, improved safety through enhanced visibility, and allowed supervisors to manage time and responsibilities more effectively, keeping the complex project on schedule.
