BetaAndon
Realtime Web Andon
WHAT IS BetaAndon?
Andon is a manufacturing system that informs operators involved in management, maintenance and other tasks of the presence of a quality or process problem.
The main component is a display board, an andon panel, which incorporates light signals indicating which station has the problem.
The andon panel is one of the main components of the quality control system according to the autonomy concept that is part of the so-called lean manufacturing approach.
BetaAndon is a software implementing a web viewer that can be configured according to requirements. It is possible to configure the table structure to be displayed on the andon board through a simple graphic interface. BetaAndon is multi-platform and can therefore be easily installed on any device and operating system.
After installation, our Andon system is ready to set the parameters for receiving and sending data to the various display interfaces. The system is able to receive data from TCP, PLC or database sources.
