As a core tool of lean manufacturing management, Andon system finds production defects/anomalies in the manufacturing process; Information can be transmitted through the system in the shortest time, so that the problem can be solved quickly; Enable production to proceed smoothly and improve efficiency.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the lighting system has developed from the initial rope mode to a button mode in the middle, and the lighting system has developed to a more advanced mode -- touch screen mode. Touch screen mode allows information to be passed out more clearly and reduces unnecessary waste of time.

Initial drawstring mode Andon

A pull rope switch, an alarm beacon and a production kanban are set in the key production station. When a problem is found at this station, pull the pull rope and the alarm light is on, indicating that there is a problem at this station, requiring management personnel to deal with it, and then pull the pull rope to resume production after processing.

Since the drawstring mode Andon uses a drawstring switch, it can only indicate that there is a problem at this station, and it cannot specify what the problem is (for example: Material shortage, equipment failure or product quality problems), so that when the call occurs, it is impossible to accurately locate the relevant responsible personnel to deal with it, only after understanding the specific problem and then notify the relevant professionals to solve it, which will lead to the extension of the time to deal with the problem, resulting in waste; At the same time, this mode does not provide background data statistical analysis function, and can not provide data analysis reference for production management personnel.

Button mode Andon

After long-term development, in the field of machinery manufacturing, the production process is becoming more and more complex, and the requirements for the management of the production are also increasing, resulting in more requirements for the application range of the lighting system, such as: The material is anti-error, the change of the production product is also faster, the data of the lamp system can record, statistical analysis of the lamp event, and can help the management to find solutions and improvement methods according to the statistical analysis data report. At this time, the rope mode Andon has been unable to meet the requirements of the production enterprise, then the button mode Andon came into being, this model relative to the earliest rope Andon, it can be defined to several large anomaly types, such as quality anomaly, equipment anomaly, material shortage anomaly, etc. At the same time, it has the background statistical analysis function, which can provide data-rich report support for the improvement of production management. Through the report system, the storage data can be queried, the duration and number of abnormal data can be comprehensively analyzed, the overall situation of relevant anomalies can be timely understood, and rich data report support can be provided for the improvement of production management.

Touch screen mode Andon

As a kind of production control system, Andon system has been promoted and applied in the production line of various manufacturing industries, and has achieved good results, and plays an extremely important role in the management of site quality, equipment and materials. When many enterprises import Andon system before, most of them are button mode. With the continuous expansion of their production line and the maturity of their development mode, they may consider expanding the system at this time. However, due to the structural characteristics of button mode Andon itself, its scalability will be relatively poor, and the expansion investment cost will be relatively large. At the same time because it is based on RS485 bus, so if the expansion of its wiring will be more trouble, so here it is recommended that if not imported before the Andon system, in order to consider the expansion of the system in the future, it is recommended that you can directly use the touch screen Andon, it not only has all the functions of the button Andon, but also has the following functional advantages:

• Strong scalability: the touch screen operation button is used to facilitate the expansion of more abnormal call items, and the specific types of anomalies can be detailed, such as sending specific information about the shortage of materials on the site, or the specific types of equipment failures;

• Wireless network transmission mode, no need for complex wiring, easy to implement maintenance;

• Flexible and diverse abnormal information release methods, can use mobile phone, PC message reception;

What benefits can Andon systems bring to the enterprise?

1, do a good job of site planning, improve site management level, reduce site management costs;

2, establish visual management, open the black box of site management, improve management efficiency;

3, the implementation of "production automation", improve the process quality control ability;

4. Macro dynamic display of equipment operation;

5, on-site fault alarm monitoring;

6, equipment failure shutdown time, fault description;

7. The reason for the stoppage of quality problems;

8, parts supply shortage and shutdown reasons;
