Applications
Production Information
Significant increases in productivity improvement can be realized by displaying
real-time goals and current production rates on LED displays or production scoreboards.
Showing the difference between goals and actual production is highly motivating.
Employees will work to keep this variance positive. Other information that is
useful to display includes scrap rates and yield percentages. Displaying negative
information in red, positive information in green and information in between
in amber further enhances 'Status at a glance'. Two or three line displays are
perfect for each production line or cell. Multi-line displays are the display
of choice for showing plant-wide information. Data Masters, Inc. has worked
with many Fortune 500 companies including Ford, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler,
and John Deere Harvestor Works. However, we've also helped much smaller companies
significantly improve productivity simply by adding LED displays to the plant
floor. Regardless of your size, Data Masters, Inc. will assist you in creating
the perfect visual communication solution.
Safety

Alarm Annunciation
In a perfect world, when an alarm occurs, operators, maintenance personnel,
and supervisors immediately know where the problem lies. LED displays accomplish
exactly this. An LED display can identify the location and nature of the problem.
It can pinpoint the exact location of the problem and direct the appropriate
personnel to it. The urgency of the problem can be identified by color codes
and flashing. Multiple alarms can be displayed at the same time. Strategically
placed, electronic displays can be read from anywhere so operators that are
moving around can be alerted. LED displays are superior to audible alarms for
detailing the alarm and improving reaction time.
Warehouse Management
Quickly and efficiently direct shipping and receiving activities. LED displays
are an easy way to help fork truck drivers know were to pick up product and
where to deliver it. Outdoor displays direct truck drivers to the appropriate
loading bay. Indoor displays placed over dock doors inform employees of critical
information including destination and truck identification.
General Employee Communication
The quickest and easiest way to communicate with employees is through LED displays
and TV monitors. Placed at employee entrances, high traffic walkways, breakrooms,
and lunchrooms, electronic displays and TV monitors can provide valuable information
from the HR, safety, production, and quality departments. Messages can be read
without pausing and without disruption to the production process.
