[Case Study] Collecting and Analyzing Log Data to Aim for Optimization
For material supply and calls during troubles. Collecting and analyzing log data, aiming for optimization [measuring instrument manufacturing factory].
**[Introduction Factory]** Measurement Equipment Manufacturing Factory **[Purpose]** Supply of parts and emergency calls during troubles Collect log data **[Factory Size]** Four-story concrete building Approximately 50×35m; multi-level **[Equipment Configuration]** 15 Slim-type transmitters in two colors 1 Single-sided receiver with LAN specification 2 Portable receivers for factory use (receiving only red numbers) 2 Portable receivers for factory use (receiving only green numbers) 4 Repeaters 1 Set of log data collection CSV generation software **[Operation]** ★ The personnel responsible for supplying parts and the personnel handling help (floor leaders) are separate, each carrying portable receivers set to receive only red numbers and those set to receive only green numbers. ★ 10 transmitters are installed on the 3rd floor and 5 on the 2nd floor. When workers want to request parts supply, they transmit a red number. In case of emergencies requiring immediate personnel calls, they transmit a green number. ★ Data collection is done using log data collection software. A LAN-type receiving display is installed on the 3rd floor, connected to a computer to log data. The times and counts of when red and green numbers were called and cleared are recorded, providing guidelines for personnel allocation and equipment layout changes.
basic information
【What is a Wireless Andon System】 ★ It is a system that allows workers to easily call for assistance (from supervisors or forklifts) when they need to replenish parts or require help. ★ Since it is wireless, installation is simple. Compared to wired devices, it significantly reduces initial and relocation costs. ★ Workers only need to press a button. This eliminates interruptions in work and reduces variability in individual work efficiency, thereby increasing overall production efficiency. ★ Supervisors can focus on other tasks until called, eliminating unnecessary rounds and improving efficiency. ★ It can be integrated into devices to automatically transmit numbers. ★ Various products can collect log data or notify with a rotating light. 【Slim Type Transmitter with Two Color Specifications and LED Flashing Function】 A short press (less than 1.5 seconds) sends a red number. A long press (more than 1.5 seconds) sends a green number. To distinguish between short and long presses, the slit in the center of the transmitter lights up red during a short press and green during a long press.
