- Fastener manufacturer with an overseas plant
The Taiwan office can check last night's overseas output, too.
At an overseas fastener plant, Modbus collects machine RUN/STOP signals. Work-order and shift data are shown alongside output and downtime records, giving teams in different time zones a shared reference for queries.
From the site problem to a system approach.
- 01The challenge
Managing multiple shifts, languages and sites can delay updates about downtime, output and handovers.
- 02The system approach
Create a machine overview, downtime reasons, work-order schedule and large Andon board so the floor and office can view the same data.
- 03Reported outcome
Managers can get a clearer view of exceptions, shift handovers and scheduling gaps.
System architecture and data flow.
The machine-signal Node collects machine contact signals and work-order data; the existing platform handles alerts, boards and reports. Source diagrams retain some original Traditional Chinese labels.

Wiring diagrams and hardware configuration.
The diagram outlines data flow between site signals, edge devices, the network and the platform. Confirm installation and connection scope before work begins.
