SHEET 01 · Case story

The floor and office can review the same exception.

The stamping plant brings equipment contacts, work orders and staff updates together in machine overviews, operator views and an Andon board, so line leaders and office teams can check the same exception record.

SHEET 02 · Challenge and response

From the site problem to a system approach.

  1. 01The challenge

    When an exception occurs, the floor, supervisors and office may not receive the same information.

  2. 02The system approach

    Use machine overviews, an operator dashboard and an Andon board to present status and alerts to different roles.

  3. 03Reported outcome

    Shorten the time needed to confirm an exception and reduce gaps caused by verbal handoffs.

SHEET 03 · Architecture

System architecture and data flow.

Equipment contact signals, work-order data and user-entered updates go to the existing platform, which provides views for different roles. Source diagrams retain some original Traditional Chinese labels.

SHEET 04 · Wiring and hardware

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.
