Case Study: Improving Factory Productivity with LED Andon Display

In many modern factories, production bottlenecks and communication delays can cost time and money. That is where LED Andon display can make a powerful difference. In this case study, we explore how one manufacturing facility in Malaysia improved operational efficiency by integrating a custom LED Andon system from Custronics.

The Challenge: Downtime and Communication Gaps

The factory, specializing in electronic assembly, was struggling with unreported machine issues and long response time. Operators relied on verbal communication or manual signs to notify supervisors, a system that led to confusion and costly delays.

The Solution: Installing a Custom LED Andon Display System

To address this, Custronics provided a tailor-made LED Andon display system designed for real-time alerts and performance monitoring. Installed at key workstations, the displays were programmed to show:

• Machine status (Running / Stop / Maintenance)

• Downtime alerts

• Production targets vs. actual output

• Escalation messages for supervisors

These displays were connected to buttons and sensors, allowing operators to report issues instantly with the push of a button. The visual LED panels made alerts visible across the factory floor, improving visibility and responsiveness.

The Results: Faster Response & Increased Output

After just three months of using the LED Andon system, the factory reported:

• 30% faster response to breakdowns

• 20% improvement in daily output

• Clearer communication between staff and supervisors

• Reduced idle time
