The lean-stack take

Calls for help become tracked records. Every call shows who responded and how long it took, so slow responses can be found and fixed.

Best for

Plants that want andon calls tied to OEE, quality and maintenance data, with the vendor configuring the system.

Watch out for

Andon calls come as part of the wider 10in6 platform and delivery model, so ask whether you can start with andon alone.
