Using XL as a visual management scoreboard tool

The first place where the XL800 will add value to your operation is on the factory floor.

Many sites first experience factory-floor visual management through the Andon systems typically found in the Toyota Production system. XL800 has much of the same functionality of a traditional Andon system with a whole load of additional reporting functionality and user-configuration. Imagine the impact that a large digital alphanumeric display can have when communicating on the factory floor.

Imagine a system which could:

• Tell you your current Takt Time is below Target
• Tell you when your Actual Speed is below TargetGive you really accurate OEE measures
• Tell you how you’ve lost output on the job/shift to that morning
• Be programmed to tell you when to do quality checks
• Count down for breaks or changeovers
• Display a “Congratulations” message when you beat that shift target

The XL system is so flexible, it will literally measure and record anything you want, and it can even be linked up to other devices. It’s even possible to:

• Activate a horn to sound at the end of break time.
• Activate a light system to indicate when a particular machine has gone down on a busy factory floor
• Trigger a buzzer when it’s time to do a quality check
• Activate an alarm when a speed/takt time dips below a minimum number

XL can do all this and far more.
