Andon Missing Material
.jpeg)
About the Product
This application focuses specifically on the material replenishment cycle. It allows operators to trigger an "Andon" signal specifically for raw materials, components, or consumables. By providing granular data on exactly what is missing and where, it eliminates the "search and wait" time, ensuring that the production line never stops due to a lack of supply.
Typical challenges
- Delayed replenishment: Warehouse staff are often unaware of shortages until the machine has already stopped.
- Inventory inaccuracies: Mismatch between digital stock levels and physical availability at the line.
- Inefficient communication: Operators leaving their station to find material handlers or supervisors.
- Production bottlenecks: One missing small part causing a complete stoppage of a complex assembly line.
Business impact
- Minimized Stockouts: Reduces the frequency of line stops caused by missing components or raw materials.
- Optimized Material Flow: Ensures a "Pull" system where replenishment is driven by real-time shop floor demand.
- Higher Throughput: Maintains constant production velocity by preventing supply-chain-induced bottlenecks.
