Visual Factory Board: Enterprise-Grade Digital Kanban

Engineered for continuous visibility and zero-hassle integration on the industrial floor. LinkVisu replaces paper labels, static whiteboards, and high-energy LCD screens to deliver end-to-end paperless visual management. Seamlessly integrated with your MES/ERP, it powers dynamic e-Kanban management with ultra-low power consumption and zero wiring.

Versatile Scenarios for the Data-Driven Shop Floor

1. Production & OEE Dashboards

Mount at the end of production lines to broadcast daily targets, yield rates, and overall operational metrics in real-time. Eliminate manual whiteboard updates and data lag.

2. TPM Preventive Maintenance

Attach directly to machine bodies. Display last maintenance dates, next scheduled checks, and visual deadline alerts to prevent missed maintenance and unplanned downtime.

3. Material E-Kanban

Mount on material racks and AGV staging areas. Signal replenishment needs and track WIP status to reduce material picking errors.

4. Digital SOP Workstations

Display real-time, version-controlled work instructions at assembly stations, entirely eliminating compliance errors from outdated printed documents.

Case Study: SE Colombia – Mobile ETO Progress Board

For Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing of large electrical panels, tracking multi-process workflows is a massive challenge. SE Colombia deployed LinkVisu E-ink boards directly onto the equipment bodies, creating a "Mobile Progress Dashboard" that moves with the machine along the assembly line.

Core Functions

  • Real-Time Process Visibility: Displays live status (completed / in progress / not started) for each workstation.
  • Paperless Transformation: Completely replaces thick, easily lost, or damaged paper process folders attached to large equipment.
  • Milestone Management: Showcases target dates and labor hours consumed, assisting managers in controlling the production rhythm.

Measurable Business Outcomes

  • Zero Information Lag: 100% data consistency with backend systems during cross-process handovers.
  • Reduced Delivery Risks: Clear milestone tracking minimizes delays in long-cycle project manufacturing.
  • Maintenance-Free Operation: The battery-operated E-ink display withstands harsh workshop dust and oil without any power wiring constraints.

Core Advantages of E-Ink Dashboards

Transforming static workstations into dynamic, data-driven nodes.

True Paper-Like Visibility for Harsh Factory Lighting
High-contrast, glare-free e-paper technology ensures perfect readability from any angle, even under direct sunlight or harsh workshop lighting. It eliminates eye fatigue for frontline workers during long shifts, outperforming traditional LCD displays in industrial environments.
Ultra-Low Power & Zero-Wiring Flexible Deployment
Bi-stable e-ink technology only consumes power during screen updates. Battery-powered operation runs for months without charging, and no electrical routing is required. Boards can be mounted directly on moving equipment, AGVs and remote workstations for maximum flexibility.
Real-Time System Sync for Full Operational Visibility
Connects seamlessly with MES, WMS and ERP systems via robust 2.4G wireless protocol. It broadcasts real-time production targets, OEE metrics, Andon alerts, material replenishment signals and work order updates without delay, eliminating information lag across the shop floor.
Production & OEE Dashboards
Mount at the end of production lines, work cells or ETO (Engineer-to-Order) large equipment. Broadcast daily production targets, yield rates, process progress and overall operational metrics in real time. Replace static whiteboards and paper travelers to eliminate manual updates and data lag.
Equipment Preventive Maintenance Boards
Attach directly to machine bodies for TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) management. Display last maintenance date, next scheduled maintenance, work order numbers and equipment specs. Visual deadline alerts prevent missed maintenance and unplanned downtime.
Material E-Kanban & Line-side Inventory
Mount on material racks, AGV staging areas and work-in-process locations. Signal replenishment needs, track WIP status, and clearly label material part numbers and storage locations. Reduce material picking errors and eliminate outdated paper bin labels.
Digital SOP Workstation Displays
Mount directly at assembly and inspection stations to display real-time, version-controlled work instructions and digital work orders. Eliminate paper SOP updates and compliance errors from outdated documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a visual factory board used for in manufacturing?

A visual factory board is a digital display used on production floors to show real-time production data, work instructions, equipment maintenance status and material kanban signals. It replaces paper and whiteboards to improve operational visibility, reduce waste and support paperless manufacturing management.

What is the difference between e-ink factory boards and LCD digital dashboards?

E-ink factory boards are glare-free and readable in sunlight, cause less eye strain, and consume very little power. They can run on batteries without wiring, making them suitable for mobile equipment and remote stations. LCDs have higher power use, require wiring, and can cause glare in bright factory environments.

How long does the battery last on a battery-powered e-ink factory board?

Battery life depends on refresh frequency. For typical factory use with several refreshes per day, a standard battery can last 3-5 years before replacement, making the displays virtually maintenance-free after deployment.
