Andon scoreboards have traditionally been a fairly basic and quite expensive addition to your lean manufacturing program. The data they display is typically fixed, with restricted headings, and they limit you to a snapshot view of what's currently happening on your shop-floor—once the display changes, the data is lost.
Gemba Solutions has addressed these issues in its Active Andon solution, providing a fully flexible and user-configurable LCD display, real-time alerts via SMS/Email, and a historical reporting function.
