Health & Safety intelligent SySteMS for proCeSS optiMiSAtion froM werMA WERMA has already established an industry standard with its range of modular signal towers, beacons and sounders. Now Werma also designs and manufactures easy to install and use, low cost andon light based intelligent systems for process optimisation. StockSAVER: the new Kanban replenishment system The system, simple to retrofit to existing FIFO flow racking, solves many typical Kanban issues, increases the floor space for value adding activities and improves cash flow. StockSAVER automatically calls up material replenishment requirements and thereby reduces the margin for human error and will significantly cut the amount of line-side safety stock being held. StockSAVER deploys sensors fitted to the FIFO flow racking system to detect the passage of all sizes of commonly used bins. Data on bin movements is transmitted wirelessly to a control station view on a PC and triggers automatically precise replenishment orders. The system solves the problem of mislaid, damaged or untimely Kanban card re-ordering processes. SmartMONITOR: the intelligent alternative for machine monitoring and data collection SmartMONITOR helps to make processers lean, faster and more efficient. The wireless based data collection and transmission system is easy to retrofit and enables monitoring of downtime and disruptions to production. Control station displays on the PC or automatic notification to your smartphone will help to reduce reaction to downtime considerably and help identify ways of optimising manufacturing processes. Detailed reports and analyses of the data can be produced automatically which will then enable improvements to be made to and increase productivity. www.werma.co.uk [email protected] Tel: 01536 486930 AndonSPEED Call for action system that keeps things moving The system is a unique and innovative intelligent monitoring and call-for-action system.
