A comprehensive overview of the advantages of the ANDON system! Please click!

ANDON System As a type of production control system, it has been promoted and applied on production lines in various manufacturing industries, achieving good results. It plays a very important role in managing on-site quality, equipment, and materials. Many companies, before introducing it, ANDON System mostly used button mode. As their production lines continue to expand and their development models mature, they may consider expanding the system. However, due to the structural characteristics of button  mode and on itself, its scalability is relatively poor, and the cost of expansion is relatively high. At the same time, since it is based on the RS485 bus, wiring will be more complicated if expanded. Therefore, it is recommended here that before introducing ANDON System to consider the future expansion of the system, it is recommended to directly use a touchscreen Andon.

ANDON System It not only has all the functions of buttons and buttons, but also ANDON System has strong scalability: using touchscreen operation buttons makes it easy to expand more abnormal call items, and can refine specific types of abnormalities, such as sending specific information about on-site material shortages or specific types of equipment failures; ANDON System using wireless network transmission, no complex wiring is required, making implementation and maintenance easier; flexible and diverse abnormal information release methods, including SMS and PC message reception; production tasks can be issued; abnormal handling can be done through personnel sign-in or card swiping, ensuring timely handling of abnormalities.

ANDON System What are the advantages of

ANDON System It can provide operators with a new and more effective way to stop the production line. On traditional automobile production lines, if a problem occurs, the entire production line immediately stops. After using ANDON System once a problem occurs, operators can pull a rope or press a button at the workstation to trigger the corresponding sound and light up the corresponding indicator light, prompting supervisors to immediately locate the fault location and cause. Generally, problems can be solved without stopping the entire production line, thereby reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.

ANDON System Another main component of ANDON System is the information display screen. The RSView32 display screens are distributed in various workshops, hanging above the main aisles or near the main processing equipment. The displays are driven by Flex  I/O and can communicate with PLCs through remote I/O, facilitating system maintenance and expansion.

Each display panel can provide information about a single production line, including production status, raw material status, quality status, and equipment status. At the same time, the display can also show real-time data such as target output, actual output, downtime, and production efficiency.

Based on the information provided on the display, operators can work more effectively. In addition, different musical alarms can let operators and supervisors clearly know what problems have occurred within their jurisdiction. Or team leaders can identify and remove bottlenecks in the production process based on the information displayed on the screen.

At the same time, team leaders or shift leaders can also monitor production status, raw material handling, and equipment operation status from the control room or remote monitoring station. Through ANDON system monitoring software, managers can set system parameters and generate information reports, including the actual stop frequency of stop requests, stop reasons, and stop times. Based on this information, engineers and supervisors can identify areas for process improvement or where operators need further training.
