FACT: LED Signs Enhance your Lean Manufacturing Programs

The principles of lean manufacturing created by the Japanese have become so widespread chances are you’ve heard something about them or are involved in some form of it. The idea is that one can divide their workforce into distinct processes or work cells that can be easily monitored. Companies with active Lean Manufacturing programs understand the need to map and measure every stage of their "Value Stream" for each product with the objective of eliminating waste from every process.

LED displays can quickly improve the effectiveness of any Lean Program by giving you the ability to post these measurements where they are needed most.

The Salescaster MRG Series, our latest release for the Automation Market is available in Full or Line Matrix, and ships standard NEMA 12 enclosure, available in single- or double-sided configurations.

The Full Matrix model sizes range from 3-lines and (17) 4-inch characters, to the largest model at 11-lines with (42) 4-inch characters. The Line Matrix model ranges in size from 3 lines of (20) 4-inch characters, to 8-lines of (40) 4-inch characters.

What makes the AlphaVision PC unique is its combination of screen configuration flexibility, system integration and ease-of-use. Ready for use from the factory, The AlphaVision PC does not require custom proprietary protocols. Based on internet technology, the TCP/IP physical connection with Ethernet, integrates easily into any existing LAN infrastructure, and the client/server based ActiveX component easily integrates into existing HMI's.

For those programmers needing complete control of the sign's operating system, a Software Developer's Kit is included. The product provides complete details on how to use the included software libraries to talk to the sign hardware. Integrators are capable of writing custom applications, integrating to legacy protocols and much more.

Productivity Applications

Run your HMI applications right on the AVPC so the entire shop floor can see the same screen, at the same time. Running GE Cimplicity©, RSView©, Wonderware©, Visual Plant©, Iconics© or other HMI or SCADA applications on the AVPC is as easy as running them on your desktop computer. Just resize your screen to match the display size of the Andon Board parameters

ANDON display configuration has never been easier or more flexible. Rather than proprietary protocols, run your existing HMI on the AVPC to create your ANDON layouts.
	Display your HMI faults and alarms where everyone sees them immediately, utilizing the same applications you’ve created for shop floor operator interfaces.
Live graphical charts created from either Excel or your HMI generate instant process improvements in any work environment.
