Third-generation kanban systems

Your benefits

StockSAVER represents the latest generation in Kanban systems for production logistics. Simple to retrofit to FIFO flow racks, StockSAVER solves many of the traditional Kanban problems, frees up space for more value adding activities and improves cash-flow. StockSAVER calls up material replenishment orders automatically, thus eliminating the margin for human error and making the need for line-side safety stocks redundant.

• No more fear-related stockpiling required
• No more safety stock required (with no danger of materials running out)
• Protection against running out of materials
• Improved cash flow
• Complete solution from a single source (hardware and software)
• No external project or consultancy costs, thanks to simple commissioning and use

Typical applications

• Intelligent signal points determine the actual material stocks present in the rack
• Automatic stock replenishment requests
• Protection against defective equipment

Initial startup

The fully configured kits for your storage bays are delivered ready for immediate installation:

• Equip storage bays with sensors
• Connect SensorBOX and SmartBOX
• Connect the transceiver with the computer
• Install and set up the software

Features

• Intelligent signal points in the FIFO rack ensure complete transparency
• More space for value-adding processes
• The reduction in stock improves your cash flow
• Low stock levels are possible even with a diverse range of items

The solution for packaging and shipping workstations

Your benefits

AndonSPEED optimises your processes at packaging and shipping stations - because AndonSPEED provides a visual notification of where problems have arisen. Permanent time savings are possible because of quick fault repairs. The wireless network sends signals to the workstation or the central control station and can send an email notification if required.

• Rapid assistance reduces wait times
• Reduces response times and prevents shutdowns
• Quick fault repair for more "units per hour"
• Intelligent reporting for lasting improvements
• Optimisation potential is made transparent

Typical applications

• Report stoppages on chutes or conveyor belts
• Manage the supply of materials to packaging stations
• Report missing items at the shipping station
• Process improvement in shipping areas

Initial startup

• Install software
• Connect and configure receiver on the computer
• Connect and configure transmitter on the computer
• Integate signal transmiter into signal tower (no tools necessary)
• Connect Andon SmartBOX

Features

• Robust, proven wireless network for production environments
• Licence-free software is included
• Integrated analytics and reporting tools
• Ability to implement a head-of-line function, for example, with slave control

The smart MDE alternative for manufacturing companies

Your benefits

SmartMONITOR is the smart MDE alternative for industrial companies looking for a way to quickly and easily gather reliable data to optimise manufacturing processes. Intelligent networking of signal towers creates a simple, low-cost retrofit alternative to conventional, complex MDE systems.

• Identifies and documents faults and unproductive time more quickly
• Reduces response times and prevents downtime
• Works regardless of the manufacturer, age or function of the machine
• Provides all relevant data of machines, systems and manual workstations at a glance
• Reports show opportunities for process and productivity improvements
• Modular and expandable with no cabling required

Typical applications

• Discover hidden optimisation potential
• Signal a production stoppage
• Manage the supply of material to machines and workstations
• As a control station for manufacturing companies
• Production reporting

Initial startup

• Install software
• Connect and configure receiver on the computer
• Connect and configure transmitter on the computer
• Integate transmiter into signal tower (no tools necessary)

Features

• Robust and proven wireless network for manufacturing environments
• Licence-free software is included
• Integrated analytics and reporting tools
• WIN slave control enables you to trigger simple logical rules for example to activate an additional signal tower as a head-of-line function

Manual Call for Action System without Networking

Your benefits

• Signal directly on the signal tower with AndonCONTROL
• Activate signals on the signal tower with Andon SmartBOX

Simple "Reflection" of Signal Towers

Your benefit

Do you have a machine or a workstation that is out of your line of sight? KombiSIGN reflect offers a simple solution that "reflects" the machine status to a KombiSIGN signal tower in your vicinity. The two elements are paired and ready for immediate use.

• Keep track of machines that are out of view
• Reduce response times and prevent shutdowns
• Repair faults quickly
• Monitor machines/areas that are not yet networked

Typical applications

• Report stoppages in complex production areas
• Manage the supply of materials where visibility is restricted
• Improve processes in complex production areas

Initial startup

• Integrate transmitter and receiver into the signal towers (no tools necessary)

Features

• Pre-configured for plug & play
• Simple refl ection of machine statuses
• Large transmission range thanks to robust wireless network for production environments
