The role and value of the Andon System in manufacturing

The Andon system is considered a tool to detect abnormalities in the manufacturing process. Recently, the system has been widely implemented due to practical benefits for production and management.

     The Andon system acts as a production alert system, using tools to detect abnormalities during the production process and immediately notify audio and video to the management team in charge. that area. The system has many forms of display, from alerting to a location to a line, from simple warning lights / bells to complex tabular alerts – depending on management needs, the system will be teamed up. The Avani team provides advice on specific and specific solutions to meet that need.
     In production, the Andon system brings many benefits to ensure production safety for people and extend the service life of the device. In addition, the system also detects and prevents defective products from reaching customers and avoids mass errors on many products. In addition, the operation and maintenance team receives notification of incidents, they will know exactly where to go and solve problems, saving excess wasted time.

The role and value of the Andon System in manufacturing

    In management, the Andon system allows the production operation team to save time and effort to sit next to machines monitoring the situation. Instead, they have more time to handle the problems that arise. The system helps identify the irrational points in the current production line, overcomes the abnormalities that occur as an opportunity to reduce errors and reduce the frequency of stopping to fix the problem. Adopting the principle of unified operation The Andon system is like a program of communication between direct production groups, maintenance, operation and management.
     This warning system can notify errors that arise, but cannot solve the problems themselves and cannot eliminate errors existing on the production line but still need human to fix and removed. If the errors are not remedied, the system continues to alert and potentially stop the line – avoiding wasting time and raw materials. The system has the ability to notify the fault or normal status of the line but also does not consider it a tool of human communication with humans, the parts still need to exchange, agree and communicate with each other. when solving problems that arise.
     In short, the Andon System is part of the quality control process. In addition to the obvious values ​​such as helping to save troubleshooting time, reducing the workload of the monitoring unit, allowing continuous information storage, detailed reconciliation report will bring the improvement projects for current production lines, bringing long-term value to the management department and contributing to the overall development of the business.
