- An example of the use of a digital stand is assembling kitchen appliances. The PLC controller controls the TW series light modules and "poka yoke" sensors.
Kitchen appliance manufacturing plants spend a great deal of time making product changes in their line production. However, when orders are in small lots, they are able to maintain efficiency through cell manufacturing by using digital stands. The digital stand combines the pick to light system with pictures, sound, and sensors to enable low skilled workers to facilitate their work. For skilled workers, using "poka yoke" light modules to prevent errors has resulted in improved productivity.
