Andon Board; It is a visual control device, usually illuminated and placed above head level in the production area, that provides information about the current status of the production system and warns team members about upcoming problems.
It is a software-supported electronic system developed to help businesses monitor and minimize manufacturing costs. Andon was initially used in the form of lamps and light columns and later evolved into lamp groups and boards with lights. With the advancement of technology, it has become widespread as LED and digital boards. With the development of PC PLC technology, these boards have not only remained as a signaling tool but have transformed into a complete visual management tool and process control device. Since Trex Andon boards use LCD/Plasma TVs, all the information, texts, and graphics on the TV can be changed instantly. A TV can be divided into multiple sub-sections (lines). Images on the screen can be changed, and various types of information can be displayed.
Trex Andon Boards can also be used for information, warning, or guidance purposes (Bon Appetit, Welcome, Safety Warnings, Birthday Celebrations, etc.).
• The production speed information of machines and lines can be monitored in real-time.
• The reasons for the stoppage of machines can be tracked.
• Values such as performance, quality, OEE, and efficiency can be monitored.
• Capacity utilization rates and occupancy rates can be tracked.
• Any information in the database can be reflected on Trex Andon boards via the TCP/IP protocol.
Visual OEE: It is the display of important criteria such as OEE obtained from the system in the production environment, production quantities, work order fulfillment percentages, downtime, and performance values on a digital board within the company.
