The Andon system is an innovative solution designed and implemented for the first time by Toyota. The word means beacon, and the system is designed to instantly communicate and immediately report any irregularities in the production process. The signaling can occur automatically when detected by various sensors or manually if the operator detects a deviation and presses the „Andon” button. Information about failures or irregularities is immediately displayed on monitors, in the management application, and signaled by a light column. The system has the possibility of sound signaling.
ANDON
The Andon system allows you to control production processes and immediately transmit – via light, sound, and SMS / e-mail notifications – information to the relevant organizational units about the resulting problem. The reported production problem is also visible on the visualization screen located in a prominent place on the shop floor. This allows you to start an immediate procedure for removing failures by, for example, changing the operating parameters of the machine or disabling it. This solution perfectly complements the production management of MES systems, eliminating or minimizing any downtime or slowdown of technological processes.
Thanks to the use of WEB technology, the system allows you to visualize the current state of monitored production on mounted screens or mobile devices. In addition to informing about its occurrence, it also indicates where the problem occurred. This has the added advantage of reducing the time needed to diagnose a fault.
The Andon system offers the possibility of assigning beeps that inform about changes in the production process.
Step 1
The operator reports a production problem using a button or touchpad. Production disruption can also be detected automatically via sensors.
Step 2
Reported interference is visible on monitors, in the management application, is indicated by a light column, and can also be sent via e-mail and SMS. A notification of interference is automatically generated by the system and directed to the right people, distinguishing between the type of problem.
Step 3
An ANDON report may force an employee to select the cause of the downtime. You can end them from the application window or directly at the production site. The system records the time of reporting the failure, and the time of service taken by the UR department.
Step 4
based on the downtime, it is possible to assess the response of the staff responsible for maintaining production. The system allows you to view the history of failures and causes of downtime within a given time frame.
The station is equipped with a cassette with buttons. The operator of the machine, by pressing a button on the register, informs with additional light and sound signals what kind of event occurred at his workstation.
The station is equipped with a touchpad or easy-to-read display with buttons. The machine operator, by pressing a button on the touchpad, informs what kind of event occurred at his workstation.
The station is equipped with sensors, which, when a break in the production process is detected, will automatically inform with additional light and sound signals what kind of event occurred at the workstation.
The view of the screens located at the production sites gives the possibility to directly observe the situation on the production line, which consequently translates into an efficient resolution of technical problems.
Visualizations of the current state of the machine park are the main tool of work primarily for machine operators, managers, and line leaders. With each implementation of system implementation, the scope and type of visualizations displayed are adapted to the individual needs of the client.
Based on the downtime, it is possible to assess the response of the staff responsible for maintaining production.
Each production worker’s report is recorded and archived by the system, as well as available for later analysis. Based on the downtime, it is possible to assess the response of the staff responsible for maintaining production.
*employee cost and machine downtime – which is often much higher!
A system designed to improve production by signaling the downtime and visualizing the production process, using OEE and KPI factors. The use of production surveillance applications contributes to increased productivity relatively short time.
An extensive, powerful tool for monitoring and managing production. The system is individually configured and programmed each time. The modularity of the system allows adaptation to each type of company and each nature of production.
A forklift call system that improves the communication process between departments. The system enables better coordination of logistics activities and reduces the number of empty runs. The list of calls is visible on the touch panel on each forklift.
