Industry 4.0, Andon and Smart Automation
Andon systems, line monitoring, smart automation and Industry 4.0 solutions.
See what is happening on your line as it happens.
We build Andon and line monitoring systems that collect stoppage, call and quality events on the production line in real time, show them on screens and record them. When, where and for how long a problem occurred becomes measurable.
The system reads signals from the PLC and field devices through continuously running Windows services. A web interface, operator screens, kiosks and large display boards give the shop floor and management the same picture.
Andon Systems
Stoppage and call handling, audible and visual alerts, response time measurement.
Line Monitoring Screens
Large display boards, operator screens and kiosk applications.
Defect Tracking
In line defect records, owner assignment and a closing workflow.
Process Automation
Continuously running services for fan, valve, climate and machine control.
