Driving Efficiency: Large-Format Bargraph Display for Alpen

When Alpen sought to improve visibility of their production performance, they turned to London Electronics Ltd for a custom large-format bargraph display designed to show real-time process and takt time data.

In high-volume manufacturing environments, every second counts. Operators need clear, instant feedback to keep processes aligned with customer demand. Our bargraph display provides exactly that — a bold, highly visible indication of how actual process times compare against takt time targets. With clear LED scaling and instant responsiveness, staff can react quickly to keep production flowing smoothly.

The Alpen team needed a solution that could be seen across the shop floor, so we engineered a display with extra-large LED segments, built for readability even at long distances. This ensures that operators, supervisors, and managers all share the same visual cues, strengthening communication and teamwork.

Durability was also a key requirement. Manufacturing environments can be tough on equipment, with dust, vibration, and continuous operation. Our displays are built using robust housings, long-life LEDs, and industrial-grade electronics, ensuring they remain bright, accurate, and reliable, shift after shift.

What sets this project apart is the custom engineering. The bargraph was tailored to Alpen’s specific process, ensuring it integrated seamlessly with their existing systems. With scalable inputs, real-time updates, and an intuitive format, the display became an integral tool in driving efficiency and reducing waste.

For Alpen, the benefits are clear: enhanced visibility, improved process control, and a workforce that’s empowered to respond quickly to performance changes.

At London Electronics Ltd, we specialise in turning complex process data into clear, actionable information. This custom bargraph is another example of how we help manufacturers see the bigger picture — and act on it.
