How to optimize production with the Andon system?

The LC-B5I 5-key call button at the station lets the operator instantly signal a problem. The alert is received on the LC-S200I watch pager worn by the right responder, enabling a fast, targeted intervention.

Are industrial call buttons compatible with Lean Manufacturing?

Yes, the LC-B5I + LC-S200I pair integrates perfectly into a Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 approach. It reduces downtime and improves station-level responsiveness.

What is the warranty on industrial equipment?

All Lean&Co industry products are guaranteed for 3 years. We handle delivery and after-sales service in Switzerland.

What types of alerts can be differentiated with the LC-B5I button?

The LC-B5I has 5 programmable keys, each mapped to a role: maintenance, forklift, supervisor, technician, general. Each key triggers a specific alert routed straight to the right responder on their LC-S200I watch pager.

Is the LC-S200I watch pager suited to noisy workshops?

Yes, the LC-S200I combines vibration, ringing and a screen display (station and alert type). It's IPX67 waterproof, shockproof, offers 24 h battery life and is worn on the wrist or clipped to the belt — perfect for demanding industrial environments.

Can the industrial alert system be integrated with an existing MES system?

The Lean&Co system works autonomously and does not require IT integration. It's a plug-and-play solution ideal for SMEs who want to improve their responsiveness without complex IT projects.

How many workstations can be equipped?

Our system can manage many LC-B5I buttons and LC-S200I pagers in parallel, equipping all production lines, workstations and storage areas of a factory.

Do alert buttons withstand difficult environments (oil, dust)?

Yes, the LC-B5I button is IPX56 certified (dust, oil splash and vibration resistant). It is designed for intensive use in industrial environments.

Industrial Call Button and Andon Lean 4.0 System for Factories, Production Lines and Industrial Workshops

Direct answer

How to instantly alert maintenance, forklift, supervisor or technician when a workstation stops?

Our Andon 4.0 system offers two configurations. Fully digital option: a touch mini-tablet fixed at the workstation offers up to 10 configurable call buttons, each with a specific recipient (maintenance, quality, logistics, team leader, etc.). The alert is received on mobile via the Lean&Co app (push notification), on desktop/tablet via the app or through Teams/internal communication tool, with configurable escalations, daily per-station statistics and full log. Fully physical option: the wireless LC-B5I button (5 keys, 5 different recipients, IPX56, 250–300 m range, 3-year battery) alerts the LC-S200I watch pager (IPX67, shockproof, 24 h) in under 2 seconds, ideal for wet, dusty or noisy environments.

ANDON 4.0

ANDON 4.0 system: two configurations for your factory

Our ANDON 4.0 system digitalises factory alerts end-to-end: instant trigger at the station, smart routing to the right responder, full traceability of every call (station, type, time, response delay) and actionable statistics to drive continuous improvement. Two configurations are available depending on your production environment, field constraints and digitalisation level.

Option 1

Fully digital

A touch mini-tablet fixed at the workstation lets you configure up to 10 call buttons with specific recipients (maintenance, quality, logistics, team leader, safety, etc.). The operator presses, the alert is instantly routed to the right responder via the Lean&Co app (mobile with push notification, desktop, tablet) or through Teams and any other internal communication tool.

•Touch mini-tablet per station, up to 10 configurable call buttons
•Each button targets a specific recipient (responder, team or channel)
•Clear station identification (e.g. "Conveyor A1 — North Zone")
•Calls received on mobile via the app (push notifications), on desktop/tablet via the app, or through Teams and other internal tools
•Configurable escalations: unanswered calls automatically escalate to the next level
•Daily statistics generated per station (volume, types, response times)
•Full log: every call, recipients notified, response times, statuses and timestamps

Option 2

Fully physical

The wireless LC-B5I call button (1 to 5 keys, IPX56 waterproof, 250–300 m range, 3-year long-life battery) is mounted on the machine. No cabling, deployed in hours. Ideal for wet, dusty or very noisy environments.

•LC-B5I button, IPX56 waterproof, adhesive or screw mount
•5 configurable keys, 5 different recipients
•Receiver: LC-S200I watch pager (IPX67, shockproof, 24 h)

Bouton LC-B5I 5 touches maintenance, cariste, superviseur, technicien, general

3 problems hurting your production

Problem 1

Machine stops not signalled in time

Operator leaves the post to find a technician, the line stays down.

Problem 2

Maintenance, quality, logistics all paged at once

Nobody feels responsible, interventions drag, downtime grows.

Problem 3

No data to steer improvement

Without reaction-time measurement, no real Lean / TPM plan can run.

How Lean&Co solves those 3 problems

Solution 1

Answer to problem 1 — Andon button within reach

The operator stays at the line and presses once: the machine stops losing minutes to running around.

Solution 2

Answer to problem 2 — each team paged independently

1 to 4 priority levels, each team gets only its own alerts: clear ownership and intervention under 30 s.

Solution 3

Answer to problem 3 — usable data on every stop

Reaction time and causes recorded automatically: -70 % unplanned downtime, OEE stabilised.
