Legacy andon systems are costing manufacturers time and money. Read on to learn how Shoplogix’s Digital Andon solutions, also known as alerting systems, can transform your operations with real-time visibility, instant notifications, and data-driven insights.

The Problem With Legacy Andons

Manufacturing floors are fast-paced environments where issues need to be fixed quickly, in order to avoid costly downtime. Legacy andon systems provide you with a limited visibility into what’s really going on, since they typically consist of simple light boards that convey basic machine status information that indicate when production has stopped, a problem appeared, and production is normal. 

Without real-time data and insights, problems will go undetected, responsiveness lags, and critical production time is lost. In addition, legacy systems do not record any information making it very difficult to drive corrective actions.

The Shoplogix Solution: Transforming Andon for the Digital Age

Legacy andon systems are outdated and limited. Shoplogix modernizes alerting systems with 21st century digital solutions. Real-time alerts instantly notify teams to minimize disruptions. Automated tracking provides data-driven insights to optimize operations. By converting alerts into informed actions, manufacturers can improve availability and production performance. Let’s explore what Shoplogix’s transformative alerting systems can do for your manufacturing process.

1. Drive Informed Action in Real-Time

With instant notifications and performance analytics, teams can make data-driven decisions in real-time. Shoplogix digital andon combines urgent alerts with the insights needed to respond appropriately. This enables issues to be both swiftly resolved and proactively prevented.

By driving corrective action through automated alerts and tracked data, manufacturers minimize disruptions. 

Shoplogix unlocks a smarter, more responsive production environment where downtime is replaced with uptime. Plus, with our layout view feature, you gain a comprehensive bird’s eye view of your entire plant operations in one glance. It allows you to see which machines are currently being paged, which have been acknowledged, and which issues have been resolved. By using Shoplogix, you’re leveraging technology to replace downtime with uptime, creating a smarter, more responsive production environment.

2. Automated Alerts Across Multiple Devices

Shoplogix is transforming manufacturing with its smart factory solutions and digital andon system. Real-time alerts, which can take the form of emails or SMS texts, are instantly pushed to display boards, TV monitors, mobile devices, and computers. No incident goes unnoticed. Teams receive immediate notifications when an issue arises, enabling a rapid response. 

These automated alerts reach personnel wherever they are located. All relevant data is synthesized into visualized, user-friendly screens. By leveraging automated alerts across multiple devices, problems are detected early and downtime is minimized.

3. Track Alerts to Uncover Insights

Each system alert is tracked and logged by Shoplogix’s digital andon. This provides historical visibility into when alerts occurred, frequency, affected assets, and resolution time. These insights uncover all the potential root causes of recurring issues. 

By diligently tracking alerts and metrics, manufacturers gain transparency into operations. Shoplogix transforms legacy andon into an intelligent data hub for boosting performance.

Transform Your Operations with Shoplogix’s Digital Andon System

Legacy andon systems only indicate basic machine status, lacking visibility, insights, and actionable data. Shoplogix changes that equation by delivering real-time alerts through multiple channels to drive corrective action. Resolve issues swiftly, boost efficiency, and transform manufacturing performance.

Shoplogix is redefining the manufacturing business by establishing a smart factory platform as the foundation for digitally transforming production performance. By enabling manufacturers to visualize, integrate and respond in real time to production performance, Shoplogix enables manufacturers to unlock latent shop floor potential and accelerate time to value.
