FAQ

Automated production involves using machines and robots to carry out manufacturing processes without human intervention. It can apply to an entire production line or specific tasks like welding, assembly, or measurement.

Benefits include increased efficiency, precision, and reduced costs. However, automation requires investments in technology, staff training, and operational restructuring. While it can improve productivity, it may also impact job availability if new skill-based roles are not introduced.

Optimize your efficiency with Binar

Poka-Yoke (ポカヨケ) is a Lean manufacturing concept meaning “mistake-proofing.” It prevents errors before they occur, improving efficiency and quality.

• Developed by Toyota’s Shigeo Shingo
• Eliminates human errors in production
• Reduces defects & rework

Key methods include:

• Contact methods – Sensors ensure correct assembly.
• Fixed-value methods – Prevent missing process steps.
• Motion-sequence methods – Ensure tasks are done in order.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measures manufacturing efficiency by analyzing:

• Availability – Machine uptime.
• Performance – Speed vs. capacity.
• Quality – Defect-free production.

By tracking OEE, companies:

• Reduce downtime
• Optimize speed
• Improve product quality

Used in Lean & TPM strategies, OEE is a key metric for maximizing productivity.

Our MES system, Binar Production System (BPS), automates data collection and quickly calculates OEE/TAK with reliability and ease. BPS also visualizes real-time productivity on display boards and online, helping you track processes, identify losses, and optimize production efficiently.

Improve your data insights

Both Takt and Andon are core Lean principles used to improve production efficiency.

• Takt creates a steady production pace by breaking down volumes into daily targets, reducing delays and bottlenecks.
• Andon is a visual system for identifying and addressing disruptions in real-time, minimizing quality issues and downtime.
  A structured Takt & Andon system ensures smooth workflows, prevents costly overtime, and increases profitability.

Pick to Light streamlines order picking with illuminated indicators, offering:

• Higher accuracy & efficiency – Reduces errors and speeds up order fulfillment.
• Better inventory management – Real-time stock insights.
• Lower labor costs – Less manual scanning and searching.
• Improved safety – Minimizes the need for climbing and manual handling.
• Enhanced customer service – Faster, more accurate deliveries.

Discover more about Pick to Light

These warehouse management systems use lights to guide workers in picking or placing items.

• Pick to Light directs workers to the correct storage location for order fulfillment.
• Put to Light indicates where received items should be stored.

Both systems improve accuracy, efficiency, and real-time inventory visibility while reducing manual scanning and search time. They also help lower labor costs and enhance warehouse safety.

ROI (Return on Investment) is calculated by dividing profit by the total investment cost, giving a percentage return. Experience shows that companies investing in Lean often achieve ROI in the hundreds or even thousands of percent. Beyond financial gains, Lean also improves employee well-being, customer satisfaction, and environmental impact.
