Factory KPI displays and Production Line Monitoring
New: Versions now available with Atex certification
In a competitive market, you need to respond immediately to anything which could affect your production line efficiency. You need to deal with it now, and you need to understand what to do to stop it from happening again.
That is exactly what we specialise in, with over 29 years of experience, helping some of the world's best-known manufacturers deliver the ultimate in their production line efficiency.
Tell us what is important in your process and we will develop an affordable, reliable and effective production line KPI monitoring software system for you, which will pay for itself many times over.
We offer a range of sizes to allow viewing from close up to as far as 200m away. Sealed for washdown and with a 3 year warranty, these displays are reliable and quickly pay for themselves. All are RoHS compliant.
We can save the live data to a cloud-based system, so you can view the same live data from wherever you are in the world and analyse historic data.
See our factory analysis section for information on our custom-analytics systems.

Here is an example of a simple custom touch screen application we developed, for 5 production lines, able to analyse data and present it graphically and as a .csv file over 6 time ranges.
The touch screen interrogates 5 large overhead digital display counters, each of which show the 3 individual shift totals and a grand total produced for the day.
... and the 5 line displays ...
A Days since Last Accident site safety display
A simple live comparison system to show whether a line is performing to target rate.
Our displays are designed for washdown environments.
Industrial displays need to accept the most common industrial signals, so we have solutions for TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Profibus, Interbus, EtherCAT, ControlNet, 4-20mA, load cells etc.
"We had a specific requirement for our station timers and London Electronics were not fazed by this at all.
James visited our site with demo models and explained very clearly what he needed from us in order to get the best product.
We had changing circumstances in our project and LE responded quickly to all. When faced with meeting a much earlier deadline than expected they really pushed on so we could get all the timers we needed.
Overall they are a very professional company, the products they have supplied are top quality and I will be using them in any further projects."

Flat pack furniture production monitoring - a case study
This display system is a fully self-contained display which accepts pulses from the line and computes real-time key performance data ...
A foundry casting display system we created for one of our many Norwegian customers.
The task Decorative Panels Furniture asked us to design and build production monitoring displays for each of their flat-pack component production lines.
They wanted a system which was easy to install and use. It also needed to be able to withstand the dusty conditions created by the wood saws.
The information needed to be updated live, so they could see at a glance how they were performing, and take any action necessary to ensure they met their targets.
The production lines are up to 60m long, so they needed displays which would be easy to see from that distance.
Our solution
We designed a fully sealed enclosure to accept 4 of our Fusion large display modules. Each module can accept pulses directly from proximity sensors, and can count pulses, compute rate, compute average speed etc.
We used our standard 6 inch high digits to give the necessary clear viewing up to 60m.
We styled the front of the displays to match the logo and colour scheme used by Decorative Panels. This reinforces their corporate branding impact when inviting prospective customers to view their facility.

Cardboard mill real-time KPI display - a case study
Paper mills are humid and dusty environments with high value, fast moving production lines. When things go wrong, the holdups can cost a lot of money...
The task Smurfit are high volume producers of corrugated board and paper products. Their factories are very large and workers need to know immediately if their production rate should fall for any reason.
Smurfit have been using our range of large production monitoring displays for many years, so contacted us to design a new display for one of their high value lines.
Our solution
Environmental sealing is crucial in card manufacturing environments, as the atmosphere is very humid, often caustic and laden with paper fibre. We designed the enclosure to contain all the necessary computing and display electronics, to minimise the need for connecting to other devices. All that is required is a power connection and a pulse input from one of the rotary encoders on the line.
We styled the front of the displays to match the logo and colour scheme used by Smurfit. This reinforces their corporate branding impact when inviting prospective customers to view their facility.
Colour coding gives a quick indication of the status of complex processes.
A typical simple target and actual display. All self contained - just mount it on the wall, position a sensor to detect product as it passes down the line and you have a real-time performance indicator!
Vehicle Marshalling Displays - a case study
Delivery and collection vehicles need to know where to go as soon as they arrive at your facility. Here is an example of how we helped one high volume manufacturing and distribution company achieve this...
The task Glendinning approached us to see if we could design and manufacture a vehicle routing display system to speed up vehicle turn-rounds at their quarry and concrete plants.
Our solution
We designed a group of large alphanumeric displays, with bright, clear LEDs, which would mount at various points around the plant.
They were sized so that drivers could easily see their vehicle registration numbers from across the marshalling yard.
To draw attention to their pickup or dropoff point, new arrivals would have their vehicle ID screens flashing.
In such a harsh outdoor environment, where fine dust is an ever-present reality, we paid particular attention to the sealing of the enclosures, allowing them to be hosed down with high pressure jets when needed.
In addition to the display hardware, we created a user-friendly PC application for the gate-house staff to help them to manage and route the vehicles as needed.
As well as production data, we can also monitor safety data.
We also make custom swimming pool displays.
If you need a count down to an event, we can help! Here we are showing days, hours, minutes and seconds to the Copenhagen Climate Conference.

A vehicle manufacturing line - a case study
Johnston Sweepers manufacture high performance road sweepers for use on runways and urban sanitation...
The task Johnston's production lines use JIT lean principals to ensure efficiency of manufacture. They contacted us to design and build a real-time reporting system to flag any special component requirements and share the status with all necessary internal and external departments.
Our solution
We designed a cloud-based application to allow operators on the line to report shortages or discrepencies, including engineering issues, to the appropriate managers.
As soon as a requirment is logged, it appears on a set of our custom-made andon lights on each stage of their production lines, and at the same time appears on custome made large message displays in the manufacturing, purchasing and engineering departments. All displays can be viewed live on a secure log-in web page also, allowing managers who may be off-site to see exactly what is happening on the shop floor, using an iPhone, tablet or PC.
In addition, emails are automatically generated and sent to the appropriate teams, depending on the nature of the issue.
The new system allows the teams to receive notifications immediately they are made and everything is instantly available securely online for analysis and trend forecasting.
Fiat / Alfa-Romeo test track display - a case study
The weather affects many things, including how much performance you can squeeze out of a car...
The task Fiat and Alfa Romeo test drivers wanted to know what the weather was doing at different points around their test track at Balocco. Their Italian instrumentation supplier approached us to design and supply a solution.
Our solution
In conjunction with our Italian Distributor, Leane, we designed a large display system to be mounted at the side of the track. The sizing of the displays had to allow drivers travelling at speed to read the weather data easily.
A small weather station was associated with each display, providing a data stream which we decoded and displayed
The displays included long range motion sensors, so that they would only activate when a car was approaching. This allowed the use of small solar panels to power the system reliably, yet provide sufficient power to create a really bright display, easy to see in direct sunlight.
We built this display for a power station in Iraq
