Andon Displays

Made to measure Andon displays

Andon displays help you to identify where you need to concentrate your efforts, to get maximum efficiency from your lines.

Because every line is different, with different factors affecting productivity, all our Andon displays are custom made to suit your exact needs.



This is a typical andon display for a 24 hour, 5 line production plant. It has a lot of useful information which is easy to understand at a glance.

The digit height can be 57mm, 102mm, 144mm, 200mm or 280mm. This allows for clear viewing distances up to 130 metres.

• We know what each shift's target output should be.
• We can see what each shift has achieved.
• We can see line 5 has stopped
• We can see lines 2 and 3 are running slow
• We can see lines 1 and 4 are running OK

The enclosures are sealed and contain all the necessary power and signal processing boards.

They can be wall or suspension mounted, and run from 11-30VDC or 95-265 VAC.

All use long-life, low maintenance LED's for trouble-free operation over many years.

Paper mill Production display

Each production line has one of these overhead large displays, so each team can instantly see how they are performing.

Lorry marshalling display

This outdoor wall mounting large digital display shows lorry drivers pickup information. They immediately know which loads are ready for collection. This saves time and reduces errors.

Cardboard packaging production monitor

A specialist manufacturer of bespoke high volume cardboard boxes needed to keep an eye on production rate and total. One display was hung over each line so everyone could see how they were doing.

Road Speed Warning display

Instant advice to speeding motorists around your factory. Improve health and safety, automatically reinforces the importance of your on-site laws.

Days since last accident display

Example of a custom made large display using elapsed timers, counters, days since last accident, atomic clock and atomic calendar.

This display sits outside near the reception area.

Corrugated Cardboard mill

This large digital display was designed for a prototype cardboard-composite production line. Because the line was expected to stop often for adjustment, the client wanted to know average and instantaneous running speeds. He also wanted to know total machine downtime.

Sales Office display

Every sales team needs to know how it is performing against target. These big displays can be seen throughout a large sales office. A simple 3 button programmer allows the sales manager to enter each month's target. The actual value could be derived directly off an Excel spreadsheet.

Aerospace components production

This big display was for each line of a high volume aerospace component factory. This production line made the raw components, which were then passed to a finishing line. See below...

Aerospace components finishing

This display sits at the end of the finishing and QA lines. Some parts may not meet stringent QA tests, so a counter for scrap pieces is also included. This gives the production and QA managers an instant feel for how well the process is running.

Food manufacturing production line

A 4 shift plant, which encourages competitive spirit between shifts. A new shift can immediately see what the goals are, and have continuous up to date information on how they are performing. Winning teams are rewarded with bonuses or other company perks.

Furniture component production display

Six sigma procedures benefit from large displays such as this one, which shows up to date Takt (running rate) and total produced for each line, as well as a grand total. Digits are 100mm high, easily legible up to 50 metres away. Red beacons flash if production rate falls below a certain limit, to alert the production manager to a problem.

Food manufacturing display

Everyone knows how many pots of noodles this production line has made. And, they can see that they are ahead of target.
