Andon Lights`

[ddbyrd]

I am looking for a rough cut procedure for the use of Andon Lights.

I am interested in seeing how others designate there use, when to turn them on/off, who is responsible, ect.

ddbyrd-

Can you narrow it down a little bit? There must be millions of different applications for andon lights.

Yes I can.... I am implementing Andon lights on our manufacturing assembly lines.
The lines are electro-mechanical integration in nature.

I have a 3 stage lightsystem: RED = line stopped, YELLOW = problem arising, or potential issue, GREEN = running fine.

Again, I am curious as to how others represent the colors, definitions, responsibility, etc.

I have done the same, plus used orange on automated vision systems for inspection. A blinking orange light indicated that a part had been diverted by the system, a steady orange indicated that multiple parts ad been diverted.
