Smart Andon System: Empower your production floor

Real time data to make faster and smarter decisions. A fully automatic cloud based monitoring system and AndonLogix software connect to all machines for visualization of real time data.

 

Our Smart Andon system brings a cloud based monitoring on your production floors to provide real time manufacturing information. It ensures constant identification of production bottlenecks to minimize down time and efficiently improves product manufacturing.

Smart Andon for quality control

An Andon system is one of the principal components of quality control of a production system. Andon is a manufacturing term referring to a system to notify management, maintenance, and other workers of a quality or process problem. It was first pioneered by Toyota production systems. It helps in providing immediate assistance to the workers when a defect is found in the production line without halting the process for longer hours.

The main reasons behind the need of Andon system are defects created or found, tool malfunction or the existence of safety problems. These problems stopped the work until the problems get solved. An Andon system not only alerts about the problems but also listed them to a database so that they can be studied in continuous improvement program and helps in preventing their occurrence in future.

Robato’s Andon systems can include text, graphics, or audio elements and visual display system. Coded tones, music with different tunes corresponding to the various alerts and pre-recorded verbal messages can also be incorporated for the audio alerts.

Why Andon System required at production and manufacturing floor ?

production and manufacturing floor
It is very essential to manage the exact status of days schedule in real time for any manufacturing unit.

Andon system locates the problem of the production unit in shorter time and creates huge savings by eliminating the speed loss.

LabView based Andon Displays are a big change and innovation for the production lines as these create continuous communication with the line PLCs to know the exact status of the process.

Andon systems contains in built algorithms to detects the problems (if arises) and highlights them on the visual display boards.

All the production line data is recorded to MySQL database so that reports can be generated subsequently.
In addition to the visual display system notification, another feature incorporated by Robato’s is audio message alerts.

Beside supporting partially to the sighted workers, it helps to those members of the team which are fixed on their assignments or have their sight impacted by wearable accessories.

The integration of both audio and visual elements for notification to the users makes Smart Andon system a better product and more advanced.

Moreover, the Smart Andon system can be tailored according to the need of the individual business.

Our Smart Andon system is integrated by two main systems: Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, the use of alarms to notify the right personnel about the specific issue, reporting of track signals and response times.
