Innovation Changes Life

Before the emergence of the digital era, many manufacturing companies mainly relied on conventional production management methods. The gathering and analysis of production data were largely dependent on manual efforts, resulting in data collection errors, delayed information transmission, lack of transparency in the production process, and suboptimal production efficiency. In traditional production environments, real-time monitoring and transparency were lacking in various stages of the production process, which made it challenging for companies to promptly address production issues, enhance efficiency, and adapt to changing market demands. The transmission of information from the production site to the management level suffered from delays and distortion, posing difficulties for managers to accurately comprehend the production status and make timely decisions.

With the rapid advancement of information technology (IT) and the widespread use of IoT and sensing technology, entrepreneurs are increasingly recognizing the importance of leveraging digital technology to achieve comprehensive visualization and real-time monitoring of the production process. This is crucial for enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. By utilizing sensors to collect production data in real-time, the on-site production equipment can seamlessly integrate with the information system, enabling enterprises to adopt faster and real-time production management approaches. Simultaneously, the mature application of data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows companies to delve deeper into production data, enabling predictive maintenance, optimizing production processes, and supporting decision-making for managers.

Final Effect

In today’s fiercely competitive manufacturing environment, industrial line Kanban boards are proving to be essential in driving the transformation of enterprise production management. This is primarily due to their exceptional real-time monitoring and data visualization capabilities. This article presents a case study highlighting the innovative accomplishments of an industrial line Kanban board in enhancing production efficiency, optimizing resource utilization, and achieving digital transformation.

Hightopo software relies on the self-developed “HT for Web (HT)” product to create an intelligent management system for industrial production lines. By providing real-time monitoring, data visualization, and in-depth analysis, it creates an excellent production management environment for enterprises. Its role is not only to provide real-time information on production status, enabling management to quickly respond to changes and make precise decisions, but also to optimize production processes and reduce equipment failure rates through data mining, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. The introduction of industrial Kanban promotes lean production processes, providing enterprises with a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable manufacturing experience, and opening up new chapters for digital transformation.

Industrial production data is complex and diverse. In order to enable managers to understand the operation status of production lines in an intuitive manner, Hightopo software utilizes the “HT for Web” 2/3D visualization engine and the HT-UI library. It applies a rich set of chart components to present system management data of industrial production lines in clear and concise ways, including tables, trees, scatter plots, and word clouds in various dynamic chart formats.

Dashboard

The Dashboard page provides a comprehensive overview of the entire production line. With this page, management can easily understand the current status of the production line, including equipment statistics, equipment operational status, and key performance indicators for production analysis.

Through visual display, the Dashboard page allows managers to quickly assess the health of the production line, identify potential issues in a timely manner, and make effective decisions. This overview page provides a starting point for management to gain in-depth understanding of the line’s details, track production progress, and guide subsequent production management activities, thereby achieving optimization and continuous improvement in the production process.

Order Information

The Order Information page is an important section in the Kanban, dedicated to providing a comprehensive overview of order execution status.

Using the rich chart components provided by HT-UI, the order page is created to enable management to easily track key information such as the production status, delivery progress, and actual output of orders. This allows businesses to achieve real-time monitoring of the order fulfillment process, promptly identify potential issues, and make quick decisions to ensure timely delivery of orders.

Visualization of the order information page enables managers to quickly understand the fulfillment status of orders, providing strong support for developing more effective production plans and resource allocation.

Equipment Management

The device management page is like the central nervous system of a production line, providing not only detailed insights into the device’s status, but also presenting the lifecycle data of the devices in an innovative and visual way.

Through the HT UI, the management can communicate with each device and gain in-depth knowledge of its operational status, performance, alarm records, and other key information. This enables the quick identification of potential issues with the devices, facilitating predictive maintenance and minimizing equipment failures and downtime.

Hightopo’s unique visualization design transforms device information from a simple collection of numbers to 3D models, providing intuitive decision support for management. It not only enables comprehensive monitoring of devices but also represents an innovative attempt in digital transformation, bringing data to life and unlocking new possibilities for equipment optimization and smart manufacturing in enterprises.

“HT for Web” products can support component graph elements with a scale of over 100k, meeting the equipment and data scene requirements of various industrial industries.

Theme

The day and night switching function is not only a beautiful design, but also to provide users with the best visual experience under different lighting conditions.

During the daytime, a bright page can enhance the clarity and readability of information, making it easier for users to browse and understand data. On the other hand, switching to a dark-themed interface at night helps reduce screen glare and eye strain, providing users with a more comfortable environment and reducing the risk of visual fatigue that may result from prolonged screen use.

Product Advantages

The value brought by the implementation of HT Industrial Kanban Boards for enterprises:

  1. Facilitates management decision-making
