Make smarter, faster real-time decisions to improve your bottomline

Andon Boards are a visual management tool, often used in lean manufacturing, that displays the real-time status of your manufacturing processes, including information about equipment, production lines, and workers’ performance. They detect production issues in real-time and help operations teams take immediate action to resolve them, resulting in increased output and reduced costs.
