The Andon system, first used in the automotive industry, has now been applied across various manufacturing sectors. Any lean transformation of a factory floor relies on investment in and construction of an Andon system.

The Andon system plays a crucial role in building smart factories, as it serves as a foundational system on the shop floor, providing early warnings. A well-functioning Andon system can prevent unnecessary issues from arising in the factory. The Andon system has the following characteristics: First, its deployment and implementation are highly flexible; second, it enables precise management of anomalies on the shop floor; and third, it visualizes and connects shop floor data across the network.

The Andon system developed by Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. helps enterprises strengthen control over the production process, promote collaboration among departments, and reduce labor costs. Furthermore, through integration with other functional modules, the Andon system ultimately creates a transparent factory.
