[Applications] IoT

An automated Gantt chart to collect data and display analysis and totals!
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] To capitalize on the wireless characteristics, equipment operation data can be collected, analyzed, and release the burden on handwriting reports while improving production!!

Visualize from the office the automated achievements and progress of production!
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] By "Sharing the Visualization" for production improvements, it would be expected for all workers to be aware of improvement to achieve better production results.

Factory Monitor issues remotely and in real-time
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The NBM is able to take signals from standard I/O and network devices and send emails to remote staff, alerting them of issues at the office and manufacturing site in real-time.

Building integrated systems for operation management and monitoring
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] Report equipment errors via email. Wirelessly send operation information.

Easily compile operation status of old equipment!
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The WD System allows users to wirelessly acquire machine data remotely and in real-time, completely eliminating handwritten reports. The collected data is accurate and can be used to determine issue severity for more effective predictive maintenance.

Automating a Handwritten Factory Daily Report
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The WD System automatically records equipment operation information 24/7 allowing users to identify trends and pin point machine downtime for more efficient predictive maintenance.

Visualize Equipment in Unmanned Areas
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The NBM is able to convert I/O signals from robots to network commands, triggering the appropriate light segment on the LA6-POE! By dividing the channels into the NBM, you can identify which machine has a problem.

Industry or automobile-related manufacturing
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] Remote notification of core equipment operation cycle time The LA6 conveniently integrates into your facilities' existing LAN infrastructure. Operators are able to mirror status from the LA6-POE master over the network to the LA6-POE slave in the office. Leveraging the existing LAN connection minimizes time and wiring costs.

Equipment Operation Management over LAN
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] By switching signal towers to LA6-POE, you are able to collect . operation data over the LAN infrastructure. Because the LA6 supports POE, it does not require a power supply.

Regulating the Cell Assembly Line
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] Collect Working Time and Visualize the Bottlenecks. By collecting the work time for all the processes, you can visualize the bottleneck and clarify where balancing is required.

Visualize Lost Time in Cell Production
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] By installing a sensor at the workbench of the cell stall to collect the simple data of when the worker is in the stall (working) and when the worker is away (not working), we were able to make improvements in just 1 month without adding a burden for collecting this data.

IoT Screw Driver Measures Tightness of Screws
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] Connect the signal output of each electric screwdriver to the WD to quickly and easily build a system that is inexpensive.

Signal From Cells Using an Andon Monitor
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The manually-controlled HSST allows assembly workers to send requests to the Andon monitor so managers can determine priority and reduce lost time.

Visualize / Analyze Stalled Robotics
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] By using the existing PATLITE signal towers on the control panels with the WD system, it is easy to make a cost-effective wireless data acquisition system to improve your robotics operation management.

Air Conditioner Remote Alerts
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The NH-FV Network Monitoring Signal Tower alerts site managers via visual, audible and email alerts when there are irregularities in temperature or humidity.

Simple Request System
	[ Proposal for Improvements ] The NH-FV gives visual indication of when and what supplies are being requested. Wait time for parts is reduced, and productivity increases.
