Why Your Warehouse Should Have a Sound System

 
A warehouse environment presents unique challenges to management and employees. A large warehouse sprawls over many square feet with space that exists vertically as well. Communication among management, employees, and other individuals must still occur despite the complexities of a massive warehouse filled with many people.

Here's why a good sound system should be an integral part of your busy warehouse.

Sound Systems Get Noticed

A good sound system in your warehouse allows you to make announcements from one or several locations which are heard by anyone within the space. Messages are immediately heard, and staff can receive important directions or other valuable communications at once.

Sound system speakers are mounted at high warehouse elevations to make sound carry more effectively over tall shelves that normally block sounds. You can adjust the sound to be loud enough for a very large warehouse or softer for a more modest one.

Sound Systems Are Customizable by Coverage Area

Worried your sound system may not reach personnel in other enclosed work spaces? Fortunately, you can place speakers in all areas you want to be heard. Employees in restrooms, break rooms, meeting rooms, and offices will still be able to hear important announcements.

Sound Systems Save Time and Energy

Some Amazon warehouse workers claim to walk up to 11 miles a day. While this figure may seem extreme, chances are warehouse personnel still do a lot of walking just to get from point A to point B. Whether your employees need to reach a specific shelf or find a supervisor, a foot search takes time and energy.

Fortunately, a sound system saves you time and energy because it allows you to make an individual summons requests to relay information. You can round up employees for a safety meeting, call up a worker for their monthly review, and even announce a vendor arrival.

Sound Systems Regulate the Work Day

You can increase employee efficiency when you use your sound system to regulate the work day. You don't need to rely on a verbal shout from a supervisor or hope employees check their watch to see the time.

Instead, use the sound system to announce the beginning and end of breaks for different teams. Employees that must work together in team tasks do so more efficiently when they start and end lunch hour simultaneously.

Sound Systems Help During Emergencies

Your warehouse may experience emergencies such as an earthquake, fire, or a shooting. Disasters like these make it crucial to relay importation instructions or information to everyone present inside a warehouse. A sound system allows you to reach everyone within your warehouse very quickly. Speed of communication is important in emergency situations when time matters and lives are at risk.

Sound Systems Can Play Music

You can play music over your sound system for your warehouse employees. Music helps boost worker productivity. In fact, 90 percent of workers perform better when they hear music. Music releases dopamine which helps you to better focus. This phenomenon is important when your business relies on reliable order fulfillment from warehouse workers that must pick orders accurately and quickly.
Plus, music at work is just awesome when personnel can enjoy their favorite tunes during breaks or employee parties.
