Andon boards and visual workplace
In a visual workplace, an LED board makes the performance of the production floor visible at all times to the people who need it: the employees themselves. An andon board shows the key indicators in real time, so deviations stand out immediately and the team can adjust.

Useful, accurate, up-to-date and visible measurements are the basis of every improvement programme. An andon board automatically and immediately shows the key performance indicators (KPIs) on the shop floor: piece counts, rejects, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), machine status and takt time. What you can't see, you can't improve.
Companies that work with lean, Six Sigma and 5S report clear improvements after deploying real-time LED boards, according to Adaptive's lean references: 40-50% less cycle time, 25-35% less changeover time, 35-45% less downtime and 30-40% higher productivity. The board forms the 'accountability link' that makes an improvement programme succeed: without visible communication, data stays unused.
Easy integration is the starting point. The AlphaVision PC boards connect to virtually any plant and enterprise platform via open data protocols (OPC, ODBC, SQL, DDE) and Ethernet TCP/IP or EtherNet/IP. You use existing HMI, Excel and Windows software, without proprietary protocols or reworking your data structure. Screen layouts are fully configurable.
