What is explitia.Andon?

explitia.Andon is a real-time production monitoring system that shows what is happening at individual workstations and across the shop floor.

Live station statuses

See whether each station is running, stopped or waiting.

Status duration

Check how long the current production status has been active.

Operator identification

See who is currently logged in at a specific station.

Production history

Review status changes, counters and events from previous shifts.

The effects of Andon monitoring

See how better shop floor visibility helps teams respond faster.

Andon system benefits for your production
Monitor station status and duration in real time.
Review OK/NOK results for each shift.
Identify recurring downtime causes.
Improve communication between production and maintenance.
Prepare structured data for OEE analysis.

React before a small disruption becomes a production loss

Faster issue detection

See production disruptions as soon as they occur.

Shorter response times

Direct attention to the station that requires support.

Clear shop floor visibility

Monitor multiple stations from one shared view.

Better production data

Build a reliable history of statuses and downtime.

How does explitia.Andon work?

1. Collect station data

The system receives statuses, counters and operator information from production stations.

2. Display current conditions

The Andon board shows the live status and duration of each state.

3. Record production events

Every status and counter change is saved in the system history.

4. Analyse disruptions

Timeline and Pareto reports reveal recurring and long-lasting production issues.

5. Improve response standards

Teams use reliable data to shorten response times and prevent repeated losses.
