Make your machine maintenance simpler, faster, and more efficient
Situations like these happen every single day. A machine breaks down and needs repair. Materials run out and the supply team has to be informed. Or quality control is needed before releasing production. Too often, help comes late, uninformed, or unprepared – and your production line loses precious time and money. The Andon system prevents this.
Andon keeps you in the loop
You can’t completely eliminate human error or machine malfunctions – but you can make sure the delay in resolving them will be as short as possible. The Andon extension for MES SoftLi helps you save valuable time and makes it easier to identify the reasons behind unnecessary downtime.
With its database you can instantly find out:
who made the call and when,
response time,
duration of intervention,
and whether the issue was resolved.
Stop wasting time on little dramas and blame games, such as employees making excuses or blaming each other when trying to find the cause of a delay. Andon simply supports you on multiple fronts.
Andon in a nutshell
Andon is a software module that lets you request help directly from the machine terminal with one click. Choose the type of assistance, like supply, maintenance, or quality control, and hit the button to send the alarm. You can also add notes so the assigned worker knows exactly what the issue is and brings the necessary tools or materials.
Three additional advantages that set Andon apart from the competition
1 Part of the MES SoftLi module family
Everything is integrated into one system, which streamlines the implementation process, simplifies usage, and boosts efficiency. Andon shares the same intuitive interface as other MES features. You can track processes in real-time or trace them back anytime on touch screens, production displays, office monitors or detailed reports.
2 Puts information into perspective
With each notification, you're given a detailed context, including the order, shift, and operator, so you can easily identify trends like recurring quality issues, unnecessary maintenance calls, or machine breakdowns on certain orders. This level of insight allows you to take proactive action, turning raw data into valuable intelligence.
3 You can customize it
Andon doesn’t have any fixed triggers. Everyone can customize the conditions for calling for help and the subsequent process according to their needs, ensuring it fits their production flow. Notifications about reports can be sent via emails, SMS, or internal messages, allowing the designated person to respond promptly, even if they're not available at their usual communication channel.
How do we implement it?
Very quickly. Just like all our other solutions, our customers get the full version of MES SoftLi, with module access based on their license type. To start using Andon, simply buy it, enter the license key, and you're good to go. No installation needed, regardless of the number of machines or users.
The only condition is that Andon cannot be purchased separately. You need to either already have or purchase MES SoftLi along with it.
Tired of delays due to long waits for machine maintenance?
Ask for a DEMO – seeing is believing. Test MES SoftLi on your own production line and see for yourself why it’s the best on the market, especially with its powerful add-ons. Then decide.
