Visual Factory

Visual Factory Software for Modern Manufacturing

Your operators can't fix problems they can't see. When production issues happen across multiple lines, departments, or shifts, traditional communication methods fall short. Visual factory software bridges this gap.

This approach stems from lean manufacturing principles, where visual management helps teams identify and respond to problems more quickly. When you can see issues immediately, you can solve them before they impact your entire production schedule.

Our Stack-Light Commander software provides a variety of ways to spot problems so they can be solved quickly.

The Map feature lets you see the status of your facility with a quick glance.

Wireless Andon lights can be placed as needed and shown on any computer with a display. This wireless stack light monitoring system transforms scattered production data into clear, actionable displays that anyone can understand.

The Stack Light's visual management software can also visually display a facility’s status using a traditional Bingo Board. This view is often used for departments within a facility.

For instance, an assembly area might be better served by using the Bingo Board because they only have a few machines or workstations that are being monitored and do not need the full factory map view.

A manager might benefit more from the Data page, where they can spot larger problems that are recurring over time. The signal tower software collects time stamps anytime a wireless stack light is activated.

This data, along with the charts and graphs make it easy to find the places to become more efficient and drive up productivity.

Stack-Light Commander’s visual factory system provides a variety of ways to view the status of your facility, and these views can be set up differently according to who needs to see them. The data can also be exported for use in Excel or other data analysis programs.

Why Choose Stack Light for your Visual Factory Project?

Traditional MES systems often require months of implementation and significant IT resources. For most manufacturers, a simpler approach works better. Our visual management software provides immediate value without complex setup. Since the system is wireless, there is a big savings in running electrical wires and conduit throughout your factory.

The most successful visual factory implementations start simple and expand over time. Begin with critical production areas and add capabilities as your team sees the benefits. The Wireless Andon system is designed to be flexible. This approach lets you build visual management capabilities gradually without disrupting production. You can start with a simple Andon Light and remote and grow your system over time to monitor multiple production lines, track performance metrics, and manage team communications from centralized dashboards. The system grows with your needs.
