WHAT WE DO

Andon System

Bring your legacy machine to I4.0

What is Andon System?

Andon is the state presenting system that shows ongoing operations and indicates where any action is needed. This includes a triggering system that alerts technicians over machine downtime.

It is considered as the most effective intercommunication tool as it allows the process to run smoothly without any impediment or jam.

- Do not worry if you own a legacy machine, Sophic provides end-to-end IoT solution which includes a wireless tower light.
- If your machines are already installed with tower light, Sophic will utilize its existing module & trigger the tower light, buzzer then email immediately when machine issue is detected.
With Sophic's Universal Bus Translator (ToFiBridge), or what is widely known as an industrial gateway, signals from the tower light are transmitted into server / cloud.
inXcite centralized dashboard helps generate rich, actionable, data monitoring on a real time basis.
A wearable device triggers each technicians on duty in real time when machine is down, & it also keeps track of technician's performance & KPI.

Benefits

Legacy machine connection

Leave no machine behind in Industry 4.0, including legacy machines.

Downtime reduces significantly

Immediate notification to your technician means quicker respond and less downtime (which also means more uptime!).

Better visual communication

Clearly presented product real-time status to the personnel of each level including plant manager, supervisor, maintenance staff and operating personnel.

Easy control on simultaneous operations

The data is sent directly to dashboard and it allows operators to better control simultaneous in a larger unit.

Bottleneck analysis

Allows smoother troubleshooting process as information on machine failures are collected and well-presented.

Functions

Wireless Tower Light

Provide visual and audible indicators of a machine's status to machine operators, technicians, production managers and factory personnel.

Universal Gateway (TofI Bridge)

Use of TofI Bridge allows adaptation & translation for all types of manufacturing data (from low level sensors to PLCs) into IoT Gateway ready & compatible data. This enables real-time data flow from heterogenous devices (assets) in the field for insights and analytics.

Insightful Visualization Application (inXcite)

A centralized web-based dashboard that helps generate and visualize rich, actionable, data monitoring on a real time basis.

It can be customized to help managers, engineers & technicians to understand assets and events interactions through a complete interface.

Movilert and Smart Devices

Movilert serves as real-time trigger to smart devices for quick response from technicians. It also turns paper-based instructions and procedure manuals into digital workflows that dynamically evolve your business.
