Smart Andon for quality control
An Andon system is one of the principal components of quality control of a production system. Andon is a manufacturing term referring to a system to notify management, maintenance, and other workers of a quality or process problem. It was first pioneered by Toyota production systems.
It helps in providing immediate assistance to the workers when a defect is found in the production line without halting the process for longer hours.
The main reasons behind the need of Andon system are defects created or found, tool malfunction or the existence of safety problems. These problems stopped the work until the problems get solved.
Robato's Andon systems can include text, graphics, or audio elements and visual display system. Coded tones, music with different tunes corresponding to the various alerts and pre-recorded verbal messages can also be incorporated for the audio alerts.

Why Andon System required at production and manufacturing floor?
It is very essential to manage the exact status of days schedule in real time for any manufacturing unit.
Andon system locates the problem of the production unit in shorter time and creates huge savings by eliminating the speed loss.
LabView based Andon Displays are a big change and innovation for the production lines as these create continuous communication with the line PLCs to know the exact status of the process.
Andon systems contains in built algorithms to detects the problems (if arises) and highlights them on the visual display boards.
All the production line data is recorded to MySQL database so that reports can be generated subsequently.
In addition to the visual display system notification, another feature incorporated by Robato's is audio message alerts.
Beside supporting partially to the sighted workers, it helps to those members of the team which are fixed on their assignments or have their sight impacted by wearable accessories.
The integration of both audio and visual elements for notification to the users makes Smart Andon system a better product and more advanced.
Moreover, the Smart Andon system can be tailored according to the need of the individual business.
Our Smart Andon system is integrated by two main systems: Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, the use of alarms to notify the right personnel about the specific issue, reporting of track signals and response times.
