Some knowledge points about the ANDON system

The ANDON system essentially detects problems, promptly communicates them to relevant personnel, stops issues at the initial point, and resolves them in a timely manner. It also sets up a visual system to alert teams or indicate when a production process needs assistance. The ANDON system is an effective means to improve manufacturing quality and production efficiency. Beyond the automotive industry, it has been widely applied and successfully promoted across various manufacturing-related industries worldwide.

The ANDON system can collect various information from equipment, production, and management on the production line. After processing this information, the system controls indicator lights and audible alarm systems distributed throughout the workshop, while simultaneously pushing information to on-site LED/LCD display devices or the mobile phones or pagers of relevant personnel.

Installed in the workshop ANDON system. When any problem occurs, it can be promptly reported to the host via wireless network to notify other departments for resolution. The computer can record and analyze the frequency of issues. It is applicable to all stakeholders in the production process, including: production operators, production team leaders, production supervisors, quality engineers, quality supervisors, manufacturing engineers, material managers, purchasing supervisors, equipment maintenance engineers, equipment supervisors, production plant managers, etc. The ANDON system achieves classified information and hierarchical reporting, promoting rapid response on the site; zoned management, responsibility recording, accurate real-time information push; production line stop control management, zero-defect management, no manufacturing, delivery, or acceptance of defects.

The on-site visualization management system of the ANDON system can transmit various information from the production site, allowing on-site personnel to intuitively understand the status related to current production, establishing direct communication between on-site management and frontline workers. Due to the large number of on-site production personnel and different divisions of labor, information transmission is often untimely. Using the information system as a means, it improves the speed and method of transmitting abnormal information flow and on-site production indicators.

Installed in production sites, material warehouses, management offices, process equipment, and other department offices ANDON system enables relevant subscribers to understand production status in real time, and management to supervise the abnormal handling process in real time.

Through With the visualization devices of the ANDON system, production site managers can directly grasp the current status of production progress, quality, abnormalities, etc. This provides a direct basis for their management and control decisions, avoiding loopholes in on-site management.

Anyone can timely understand on-site production information from the ANDON system board and grasp their own tasks from it. The work performance on the production site is clear at a glance, making performance evaluations open and transparent, while also encouraging the advanced and urging the lagging.
