The Challenge

Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK wanted to upgrade its Andon infrastructure from a proprietary, inflexible system to an open architecture that could better display production information and support historical analysis to pinpoint potential future issues.

The Solution

Deployed FactoryTalk View Site Edition, FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI, and FactoryTalk Historian SE, creating a technology-agnostic open platform for production information and decision support.

Results

Achieved a more open and technology-agnostic Andon solution. Gained clearer access and display of pertinent production information. Enabled historic analysis to pinpoint potential future issues. Created a scalable solution that grows with the factory.

Key Takeaways

  • Open architecture Andon systems outperform proprietary solutions in flexibility and analytics
  • Historical production data analysis is critical for preventing future line stoppages
  • Scalable information solutions enable Toyota-style continuous improvement at scale
