In a world-wide first modular signal towers can be networked together wirelessly and provide a simple easy to install alternative to traditional machine monitoring data collection Systems.

Intelligent Systems for Process Optimisation - WERMA offers three easy to retro-fit Solutions

StockSAVER: the third generation Kanban system for logistics operations
The system, simple to retrofit to existing FIFO flow racking, solves many typical Kanban issues, increases significantly the floor space for value adding activities and increases 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 is really great” comments Winfried Huber, Sales Director at WERMA. “The sensors can be fitted to any FIFO flow racking system to detect the passage of all sizes of commonly used bins. It will give a transparency to the stock levels in the FIFO racks enabling a significant reduction in the requirement for safety stocks to be held there” he concludes.

StockSAVER is simple to install and is easy to extend. Clear and simple Kanban displays keep Production and Logistics informed and enables the process to become more robust and less susceptible to errors.

SmartMONITOR: the intelligent alternative for machine monitoring and data collection
WERMA’s SmartMONITOR helps to make processers lean, faster and more efficient. The wireless based data collection and transmission system is easy to retrofit and enables analysis of the operation which in turn will lead to untapping growth potential and keeping you one step ahead of the competition.

“SmartMONITOR is the intelligent machine monitoring system alternative for companies who are looking for a quick and uncomplicated way of optimising their processes” comments Christian Höhler, Technical Director at WERMA who continues; “the system will provide you with all relevant data on the performance of machines, equipment and manual workstations, simply with a couple of mouse clicks.”

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 show the possibilities to improve processes and increase productivity.

AndonSPEED: a unique system for optimising warehouse logistics processes
Since 2016 AndonSPEED has been playing its part in optimising pro-cesses on manual workstations and in warehouse operations. The sys-tem is a unique and innovative intelligent monitoring and call-for-action system. Unlike traditional andon light systems AndonSPEED not only gives a clear local visual signal of a disruption or change in status on the line or workstation, but also documents and analyses downtime. The wirelessly connected system passes information to a control station display on a PC or screen and can also despatch call for action e-mails automatically to personnel required to intervene and resolve a problem.
