Do you have knowledge of which stations or production lines have the most downtime? Can you make quick decisions about it? Do you really know how much downtime you have per day in your production plant? Do you know which departments generate the most line downtime? Do you have any type of knowledge base on sampling and productivity diagnostics with the cause and solution for downtime? Do you really know what types of failures are most recurrent in all the production processes of the plant? Have you quantified the amount of money you lose daily due to production stoppages? Is scaling up for line stoppages efficient? Contact an Andon Systems advisor from ULTATEK now ULTATEK's Andon Systems for Production Processes reduce plant production downtime, thereby maintaining high plant productivity and efficiency. CONTACT AN ADVISOR Why is the use of ULTATEK Andon Systems necessary? You can have visual control of the production With an Andon system, you can have visual control of production in an intuitive and graphical way. This way, it is possible to identify the 80/20 of stoppages and to which departments or workstations to attribute them. Will you have metrics for decision-making You'll have a better approach to visualizing machine operating parameters and line status. The easier the necessary metrics are displayed, the better your technicians can react to alerts. Accelerate the flow of information An Andon system for Production Processes accelerates the flow of information coming from the process, so that plant managers can respond quickly to failures that occur. Know the cost of losses Productive improvement Andon systems allow you to determine how much money you are losing per day due to unscheduled downtime. With this, you can decide what type of actions to take to prevent leakage. Webinar Replay Andon, critical visual and/or auditory assistance system In this webinar replay, you will learn how, through the visual and auditory alerts of an Andon system, you will achieve complete visibility of what is happening in your areas, lines, or stations, generating requests for help, analyzing department response times, unplanned downtime, and micro-stoppages that can impact the achievement of company goals. Access now How does the Andon System for ULTATEK Production Processes work Andon systems for production processes They are very useful in the maintenance program for predicting early failures., ensuring that operators can visualize all the signals from a particular production area on a screen or dashboard. They are systems that allow machines to send a real-time message to the line manager's mobile device whenever an error occurs. In addition, they can: Clearly define the metrics and values that are “normal” and “abnormal.”. These will be well-documented and agreed upon by plant personnel to avoid the risk of warnings being ignored and errors occurring. Real-time monitoring of help desk call status: All lines and stations included in the Andon system can be monitored in real time., to detect if everything is working well or if they require support from a department such as maintenance, quality, materials, or production. Assign response roles based on machine failure, production line, and problem type, allowing the right people to respond directly, whether it's a plant manager or maintenance personnel instead of channeling the response through administrative staff. To know the number of stoppages and downtime by department for the current shift, whether it's maintenance, quality, materials, or production. They will be able to visualize information and graphs of downtime and quantity of line stoppages. Generate statistical reports on production downtime and the quantity of unexpected events that occur in a process and compromise operational continuity. These reports help improve operations based on the company's production system standards and procedures. What results can you achieve with ULTATEK Andon Systems? Andon offers you useful information for making smart decisions. You will be able to identify areas for improvement in production, reducing scrap material. A visual Andon board helps you decrease production downtime, and you will also be able to: Achieve a complete reduction in downtime. Involve all levels of the organization in problem-solving. Identify the main reasons for those downtimes. Increased productivity in all areas of the plant process. Get automated reports of downtime separated by shifts. Generation of corrective actions based on statistical analysis. How an Andon Systems Integrator can help you achieve these results With real-time statistics and analysis of production stoppages, industrial plant managers can have the necessary information for decision-making and for developing strategies for corrective actions.
