"An andon light system at each workstation gives operators clear physical and digital signals when production is disrupted. A regular stack light shows status locally, but it can't tell a remote maintenance team or an off-site engineering lead that a serious fault has occurred. Networked platforms connect the light towers to a central dashboard and escalate alerts to mobile devices. Facilities adopt them to bring down mean time to repair (MTTR) and keep machines running longer. Soft Designers provides connected industrial signaling systems that speed up line-stop alerts and shorten response times."
