The manufacturing business is changing from mass production of small varieties to an era of small quantities of many varieties

In recent years, "manufacturing" work sites in Thailand are required to cope with the production of a small quantity of many varieties, the same as in Japan. In the case of multi-product production, the manufacturing process and processing details differ for each product, which is a cause of increased losses and defects. Also, in the case of small-volume production, setup changes will be more frequent, and lots and sizes will differ depending on the product type, which will lead to poor productivity.

However, the trend toward small quantity of many varieties productions will certainly continue to increase. Then, "how to improve productivity in the future?" becomes the main concern. PATLITE is proposing a solution to solve this problem.

Just attach it to the existing signal beacon! Achieve "visualization" of operating rates at a low cost.

In order to improve productivity, it is important to understand where the problem is with the operating equipment / line.

PATLITE has developed a product that can automatically collect accurate data on the operating status by combining the existing signal beacons with the WD series transceiver (air grid). Since the transmitter and receiver are wireless, it is easy to change the layout of the factory. Also, since the data is transmitted directly from the signal beacon, it does not matter whether the equipment to be analyzed is old or new.

WD Series

Real-time monitoring helps you improve the performance of your product.

By utilizing the (paid) software of the partner, it is possible to "visualize" the operating status of the equipment in chronological order as shown in the figure below, and reveal all losses. Various man-hour losses (manage mental loss, formation loss, operational loss) = problems can be clarified. When the problem becomes clear, the solution will come out in due course. There are more than 1,300 business sites in 41 countries all over the world with installations (April 2019), which range from major companies to small and medium-sized enterprises, that show it can be used with confidence.

WD-PRO Series

Equipment operation" and "4M" solutions using the WD PRO series

The WD PRO series makes it possible to visualize the "equipment operation" and "4M" by revealing improvement themes for grasping the operation status while maintaining the simple IoT of equipment. It is a wireless device that can acquire detailed equipment information through 8 external contacts, serial input (RS-232C), and signal beacons control. It can be applied to problem solving solutions such as When? Who? What? How many pieces? Produced or not? What is the cause of abnormal stop?

4M is

a method to think from following 4 viewpoints:
1. Causes of Man.
2. Cause of Machine.
3. Cause of Material.
4. Method.

Example of equipment operation + product number, cause of stop

WD / WD-PRO Series

The WD / WD-PRO series is a productivity improvement measure that can be implemented easily and at a low cost using existing signal beacons.
