See how long a stop lasts and what it is waiting on—from the floor board.
The production line presents machine status and downtime reasons on one board. Floor teams and supervisors can review stop duration, material waits and response progress, reducing the need to ask one person at a time.
From the site problem to a system approach.
- 01The challenge
Schedules and floor status are out of sync, leaving improvement meetings without consistent machine and work-order data.
- 02The system approach
Bring together machine status, schedules, downtime reasons and production-board information so teams can track operations instead of relying on repeated follow-up.
- 03Reported outcome
Improve visibility of floor status and make coordination between production planning and line supervisors easier.
System architecture and data flow.
Edge nodes collect RUN/STOP/ALARM and output signals; the platform layer provides role-based dashboards. 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.
