In response, we proposed the new information display light "LA6 type." This product receives input signals from the equipment and, when the set time is reached, it flashes blue, making it immediately clear which equipment has a problem. Additionally, it easily notifies the signs of equipment maintenance based on the frequency of takt time overruns. 【Case Study】 ■ Issues - Frequent occurrences of processing not being completed within the set time - Understanding the reasons for decreased equipment operating rates and implementing visualization improvements - While the equipment status is displayed on the Andon board, there are no functions for managing takt time - Significant costs are incurred for additional construction to take signals from each piece of equipment to the Andon board ■ Proposal - Receive input signals from the equipment and flash blue when the set time is reached - Takt time can be set arbitrarily using the LA6 editing application *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. https://www.patlite.co.jp/

We will introduce a case study of improvements in FA (Factory Automation) sites proposed by Patlite. In a manufacturing factory where a small number of people are managing multiple manufacturing devices, it was quite challenging just to confirm which devices required maintenance. We proposed the "LA6 type" layered information display light, which outputs a signal from the control device indicating that maintenance is due, and displays maintenance information in a different color from conventional signal lights, making it visible. 【Case Study】 ■ Issues - Many devices are inspected before operation or regularly, but the operation panel must be checked each time. - We want to grasp the target devices and maintenance details at a glance. ■ Benefits of Implementation - Maintenance targets can be identified at a glance. - It is also possible to identify maintenance locations. - Preventive maintenance activities can be carried out without omissions. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. https://www.patlite.co.jp/ ↓↓↓ Official Online Shop ↓↓↓

We will introduce a case study of improvements in FA (Factory Automation) sites proposed by Patlite. For manufacturing factories that have concerns about operators being away from equipment and not noticing equipment abnormalities in a timely manner, we propose our network products. By using the interface converter "NBM-D88" to convert contacts to LAN, it allows for the utilization of network environments to receive and notify about abnormalities from remote manufacturing sites. It is also possible to report to the site or remote locations via email. 【Case Study】 ■ Before Implementation - Operators away from the equipment do not notice equipment abnormalities, leading to delayed responses. - There is a desire to notify specific operators of abnormalities via email. ■ After Implementation - Contact information can be easily converted to a network. - By notifying with light, sound, and email, we can respond quickly to equipment abnormalities. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. https://www.patlite.co.jp/ ↓↓↓ Official Online Shop ↓↓↓

We will introduce a case study of improvements in FA (Factory Automation) sites proposed by Patlite. A manufacturing plant was considering the establishment of an operational management and monitoring system that included old equipment that had been in use for 10 years. To collect data, modifications to the equipment were necessary, which made costs and implementation time a bottleneck, hindering progress in improvements. In response, we proposed our network products that can be easily implemented in existing equipment. This enabled automatic wireless aggregation of operational logs, visualization of waste, inconsistency, and overburden in the manufacturing site, as well as notification functions for equipment abnormalities, resulting in increased production efficiency. 【Case Study】 ■Challenges - Considering the establishment of an operational management and monitoring system that includes old equipment that has been in use for 10 years - Modifications to the equipment are necessary for data collection - Costs and implementation time are bottlenecks, hindering progress in improvements ■Solutions - Wireless notification of operational information from the equipment - Establishment of a simple equipment management system using network products *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. https://www.patlite.co.jp/ ↓↓↓ Official Online Shop ↓↓↓

We will introduce a case study of improvements in FA (Factory Automation) sites proposed by Patlite. There have been many cases where abnormal information on the manufacturing line went unnoticed and was left unattended, leading to improvement directives from upper management at precision electronic equipment manufacturer S. We proposed the layered information display light "LA6" to visualize abnormal notifications and elapsed time, along with the interface converter "NBM-D88M." 【Case Study】 ■ Issues - Considered a wireless system, but the building structure prevented wireless signals from reaching. - The budget was consumed by equipment upgrades, and there was a desire to build the system at a low cost. ■ Solution - The signal lights in the factory and office are linked, allowing for confirmation of equipment status. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. https://www.patlite.co.jp/ ↓↓↓ Official Online Shop ↓↓↓

We will introduce a case study of improvements in FA (Factory Automation) sites proposed by Patlite. By implementing remote monitoring in the production line, you can quickly notice abnormal occurrences and reduce downtime losses. The interface converter "NBM," which is easy to retrofit to existing equipment, and the network monitoring indicator "NH series," enable remote monitoring by connecting contact information to the network! 【Case Study】 ■ Before Implementation - Downtime losses occurred due to not noticing abnormalities immediately. ■ After Implementation - Notifications are provided through light and sound upon receiving commands. - Contact information is connected to the network, enabling remote monitoring. - Email notification function allows for alerts to be sent to responsible personnel even at night. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. https://www.patlite.co.jp/ ↓↓↓ Official Online Shop ↓↓↓

We will introduce a case study of improvements in FA (Factory Automation) sites proposed by Patlite. In a cell production line that faced the challenge of supervisors not noticing calls from on-site workers and having to search around, we implemented the wireless data communication system "AirGrid." By conducting centralized monitoring within the control center, we were able to monitor the status of each station and respond quickly to worker calls. 【Case Study】 ■Challenge - Supervisors were unaware of calls from on-site workers and had to search around. ■Solution - Centralized monitoring within the control center to monitor the status of each station. - Quick response to worker calls. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
