Red, yellow, green, blue, white – the machine park is always under control
The initial situation
The company used flags in seven different colours for tracking production throughout the entire machine park. This enabled the machine status to be identified. This passive and archaic form of communication was extre-mely time consuming, as the status was not visible at a glance due to the inconsistent placement. In addition, the flags had been in use for some time and were dirty, twis-ted and the colours were no longer clearly visible.
Project requirements
- Smart solution without programming knowledge
- Better and faster recognition of the system status
- Flexible installation that does not requirean electrician
- Simple and quick to use
Bachofen’s solution
The Bachofen product specialists quickly found a solution. The compact, modular traffic light system from Banner, equipped with a rotary switch, meets all these requirements. Thanks to the flexible, magnetic parallel mounting of 130 signal lamps, the 5 different coloursused for production tracking can now be seen at a glance, which reduces costs and saves time. If machines are replaced, the signal lamps can be reused simply and quickly – with no specialist knowledge required. The modern product from Banner is impressively versatile, durable and reliable and also offers the option of using an additional module to transmit the data to a central system via Banner wireless radio technology.
