01How it works

How a cloud Andon tower light works from the station to your screen

Three steps take a status change from a light on the machine to the people who need to act on it.

  1. 01

    Signal at the station

    Multi-colour LEDs and customisable alarms show each machine's status where the work happens, in colours the whole area can read.

  2. 02

    Status to the cloud

    The tower light connects to your existing network over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and sends every status change to the cloud in real time.

  3. 03

    Visible anywhere

    Supervisors follow live status, downtime and OEE on a laptop, tablet or phone, and manage the tower light remotely.
