Hear What Really Matters
Noisy environments make communication challenging, but our advanced systems ensure clear conversations . We continuously refine our systems to provide the highest speech quality, even in extreme conditions. The Speech Transmission Index (STI) measures intelligibility, with 1.00 being perfect face-to-face communication. Commend achieves up to 0.96 STI, making it ideal for industries where communication is critical. Here‘s an example: Garbage trucks need to register when they come to waste processing plants. The environment is loud and the trucks themselves generate additional noise. Poor audio leads to long queues and disrupted traffic and to frustration for security operations center (SOC) operators who handle up to 100 calls a day. If they still can’t understand what the driver is saying after asking repedetly, the security staff needs to leave their posts to speak face-to-face – which leaves other areas unmonitored. Our AI Cleans Voice from Noise technology eliminates background noise, ensuring clear speech:

ArcelorMittal | Trusted communication in manufacturing
Success Story: Communication in Manufacturing ArcelorMittal Etxebarri Overview Challenge Solution Technical data Result Free download Challenge At the Etxebarri factory, safety, quality, and environmental responsibility are core values. However, several challenges are affecting daily operations and productivity: High noise levels throughout the factory floor make effective communication difficult, especially in critical situations. Existing manufacturing communication systems rely heavily on traditional telephones, which are not practical in noisy environments and do not support hands-free operation. There is a strong need to improve team communication in order to boost workforce productivity and ensure operational efficiency. The current setup lacks the flexibility to adapt or grow, so the factory requires a scalable communication solution capable of covering the entire facility. The customer required a modern, reliable communication system that enhances coordination and safety without compromising productivity. Customer Information ArcelorMittal is the world's leading steel and mining producer operating in 60 countries. Its Etxebarri plant manufactures tin-plated and chrome-plated sheet metal, using cold-rolled coils as raw material. More info Solution The scalable and hands-free manufacturing communication provided by Commend has transformed how teams interact across complex and noisy industrial environments. Each machine is massive in scale – up to six stories high – and operated by teams of 5 to 6 people per unit, requiring constant coordination. Every machine is managed by a dedicated team leader, responsible for overseeing operations and synchronizing the team. Now, with the Commend system, leaders can instantly communicate key instructions, ensuring everyone is aligned in real time. As a result, all team members are aware of what their colleagues are doing at any given moment, improving safety, reducing delays, and enabling smoother workflows. Technical data Technical data 1x GE800 15x EE7000 series 3x EE380 + 3x EM302 18x ET901D Result Worker safety is a top priority, and Commend’s solution provides reliable, hands-free communication in high-noise, high-risk environments – ensuring teams can respond quickly and effectively in critical situations. The system significantly enhances efficiency, enabling better coordination, faster decision-making, and reduced downtime across the production floor. High audio quality and speech intelligibility are essential in such a noisy setting, and Commend delivers exceptional audio performance even in the loudest areas. The solution is robust and built for industrial environments, ensuring long-term durability and low maintenance. One of the key advantages was Commend’s ability to leverage the factory’s existing infrastructure, including video cameras and network connections. By using only two cables and IP technology, the factory was able to reuse much of its current setup, reducing installation costs and complexity. Customer Voice Rafael García Martín Integrator Commend provided a complete, end-to-end solution tailored to the factory’s unique needs – combining powerful products, flexible integration, and seamless scalability. With decades of experience in the industrial sector, Commend brought both the expertise needed to meet Etxebarri’s high standards. Case Study ArcelorMittal Free download Download
