ALPHA displays enhance your Lean Manufacturing programs
Manufacturers can increase productivity by giving the right information to the people that make process decisions. ENTECH provides integrated communication systems that allow instant status of work stations, process lines and plant-wide statistics at a glance.
Entech -Alpha LED Lean Manufacturing SignsThe principles of lean manufacturing created by the Japanese have become so widespread chances are you’ve heard something about them or are involved in some form of it. The idea is that one can divide their workforce into distinct processes or work cells that can be easily monitored. Companies with active Lean Manufacturing programs understand the need to map and measure every stage of their "Value Stream" for each product with the objective of eliminating waste from every process.

KPIworks
In today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, companies that will thrive are those that implement some form of continuous improvement program. Visual Workplace solutions have played a key role in improved productivity and cost savings by displaying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Harvest real-time KPI data points from your OPC or ODBC* servers easily with this turn-key, software solution. KPIworks™ software from ENTECH, allows you to connect to various inputs: database fields, relays, photo cells, status values, process sensors… Monitored Key Performance Indicators combined with your custom-set parameters will optimally format and visually display the desired information – automatically. Benefits can include: trends being caught and corrected, reduced time between line changes, proactive front office action, maintained parts inventories, and swift response to line errors or equipment bottlenecks to maximize uptime.

Easy to install and configure, KPIworks gets your real-time production data to ENTECH Andon boards, marquees and other plant floor displays in a fraction of the time of other integration options. This translates into production efficiencies. And, with no custom code to maintain, this scalable software is economical, easy to install and configure, and fast to learn.

Tested, proven, robust and well supported. KPIworks has been proven in some of the largest and most complex manufacturing facilities. It can provide broad stroke information or can be configured to provide more detailed production statistics. But its real strength is its ease of use and flexibility. Robust and well supported, KPIworks can help you achieve your Continuous Improvement goals by making a Visual Workplace solution an easy and economical step into the future. Call ENTECH to learn more about this exciting new software. Seamlessly harnessing the power of data, visually displayed, to drive productivity.

LED Solutions for Material Handling
By integrating LED displays into a real-time warehouse management system anyone can walk into a warehouse environment and visually see order status, priorities, and many other relevant productivity measurements. Improvements in order fulfillment accuracy and material flow efficiencies can be obtained. Five critical areas where LED displays can be used are inventory management, storage, receiving, picking and shipping.

Outside of shipping, displays can be used to provide concise driver information such as queuing information, priorities, pickup times, departure times, wait times, truck directions and any other specific dock door status. Information is derived from either the dispatcher or the WMS program based on scheduling, dock availability and load priorities for each facility. This would replace the use of a simple dock number or flashing light.

Once the unloading process starts, the lift truck drivers need to know what is required to come off of the trucks, where they need to be stored and the priority of the load. Displays placed over each receiving door on the inside can provide direction at a glance as to where the pallet or load must go whether it is a staging area, another dock for reloading, or a specific aisle or storage area. Again this data can be driven manually by the dock manager or via an automated process from the WMS.

AVPC with order scheduling/prioritization
Some of the tangible and measurable benefits of LED displays integrated within a warehouse or manufacturing environment are:

• Improved coordination of orders, parts, priorities and flow.
• Improved inventory accuracy by insuring proper items are picked.
• Visible tracking of order status, changes, lots and priorities.
• Improved throughput, work flow and reduction of WIP.
• Improved customer service by communicating order needs and dock requirements.
• Improved labor resourcing by implementing a smoother flow process.
• Prioritizing of orders quickly and visibly for all employees.
• Meet delivery schedule and financial objectives.
• Link material flow with information flow.
• Visibly display any performance measurement information.
• No reliance on white boards, print outs, clip boards or word of mouth.

 
LED Solutions for Industrial Networks
Put Your Data to Work for You
• The AVPC family of LED graphics boards gives you the tools to improve the productivity of any operation, by providing your workforce with the live data they need to make decisions.

• AVPC displays plug into your existing TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP networks, and can quickly go to work for you with minimal setup.

• Integrating displays into your operation has never been easier with Windows® 2000 installed inside the display. All of your existing Windows applications will operate just like they’re running on a PC, except the display can be viewed from hundreds of feet away.

 
Office and Internet Applications
Rather than e-mailing or printing your graphs and data tables, post them real-time where everyone can see them. Use Excel® and its powerful query tools to display live charts and data or use Explorer® to point at a internet or intranet site to display live updates.
• Display web pages as easily as you do on your desktop.
• Run Excel on your AVPC to display your critical charts and graphs.
• Use Excel’s powerful Query tools to post live data for your workforce
 
Industrial Networks and Applications
Run your HMI applications right on the AVPC so the entire shop floor can see the same screen, at the same time. Running GE Cimplicity®, RSView®, Wonderware®, Visual Plant®, Iconics® or other HMI or SCADA applications on the AVPC is as easy as running them on your desktop computer. Just resize your screen to match the display size of the AVPC.
• ANDON display configuration has never been easier or more flexible. Rather than proprietary protocols, run your existing HMI on the AVPC to create your ANDON layouts.
• Display your HMI faults and alarms where everyone sees them immediately, utilizing the same applications you’ve created for shop floor operator interfaces.
• Live graphical charts created from either Excel or your HMI generate instant process improvements in any work environment.
