What is an andon light?
An andon light is a visual signaling system used in production and manufacturing environments to indicate the status of equipment and production. It is commonly used in factories and production workshops to help quickly identify problems and malfunctions so they can be promptly resolved.
The andon light system typically consists of lights of different colors, each indicating a particular state of the equipment or production. For example, a red light may indicate a pressing issue that needs to be resolved immediately, while a green light may indicate that everything is in order. Andon light systems may also include digital display panels or audible alarms to signal problems in an even more visible manner.
The use of andon lights can help improve productivity and reduce downtime by allowing operators to quickly detect problems and resolve them immediately. It can also help improve product quality by reducing errors and production defects.
