From "manufacturing" to "smart manufacturing", lean production is an important foundation for manufacturing enterprises to transform and upgrade. But how exactly should lean production be implemented? ALSI Dalian goes deep into the site, combining digital technology with manufacturing technology to provide enterprises with a lean production system for equipment, helping them reduce costs and increase efficiency, and enabling industrial innovation and upgrading.
For manufacturing enterprises, lean production is an eternal topic to ensure healthy development. When it comes to improving production efficiency, the topic of equipment availability rate is unavoidable. The equipment availability rate refers to the ratio of the actual time spent producing items (operating time) to the production time (load time). The true operating time is obtained by subtracting the time consumed by changing molds, tools, equipment failures, etc., from the load time. Reducing these objective losses that affect the load time can improve equipment availability rate and achieve increased production and efficiency. Knowing the real equipment availability rate is a prerequisite for achieving lean production.

However, many small and medium-sized enterprises are still operating in traditional modes, with low digitization of equipment and incomplete information management. Equipment stoppages and failures rely on worker records, and then management personnel manually input the data from daily inspection sheets into Excel or a system for centralized management. Manual data entry inevitably lacks accuracy and authenticity, leading to insufficiently objective and scientific analysis of the manufacturing site, and making it difficult to uncover hidden problems.
Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. has developed a self-developed equipment status monitoring system that automatically collects equipment status information and has introduced a complete equipment status monitoring solution. By attaching the smart data collector TS-10 to the equipment's tri-color stack light, the entire process takes less than 10 minutes and is simple. Combined with the Lighthouse application system, it immediately grasps information such as equipment operation, stoppage, and failure, making it easy to identify which links have high time loss, facilitating targeted identification of root causes and improvement, achieving lean production and avoiding waste.

Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved on-site for 30 years, advocating the concept of lean production, continuously aligning with actual customer needs, providing enterprises with diversified digital solutions and comprehensive services in manufacturing, automotive, and general enterprise fields, and helping enterprises build lean production.
