Production electronic kanban system
Implement e-kanban by defining what the board shows and which tasks need physical labels: survey line targets, data sources, and alert types; pilot board refresh, supply or warning labels through LuckDesign/LuckNext, and scan-to-close on one line.
Implementation outcomes
Data note: These figures are actual results from this project. They apply only to this project and do not guarantee results elsewhere.
01 // Pre-implementation assessment
Before cutover: output on whiteboards—supply labels still need a PC trip
Common blockers before go-live
- KPI definitions unset—pilot screens disagree with the shift.
- Alerts visible but print trigger fails—physical-mark path not accepted.
- Too many data feeds at once—pilot dies on integration.
How the system is implemented
- Survey: lines, shift targets, alert types, label triggers.
- Pilot one line: minimal feeds + one/two task prints + scan close.
- Then expand feeds and lines; capability notes cover LuckNext and PDA reporting.
02 // On-site implementation
How we survey and pilot the line
In multi-line shops, consultants watch whiteboard refresh pace and supply walk paths before choosing andon wall vs shift tablets.
First wave: only shortage→supply-label action; QC-hold warnings can be phase two.

| L2 | 88% attain | QC hold | Warn printed |
| L3 | 96% attain | Shortage | Supply queued |
03 // Implementation steps
From survey to acceptance
- Survey KPIs and alert list.
- Connect minimal viable feeds (manual/report OK first).
- Map tasks to label templates.
- Pilot one line including close drills.
- Reconcile: task, print, close timestamps.
- Cut over by line.
- Accept: response time, trigger success, close loop.
04 // Value outcomes
Visibility · Target vs actual
Less verbal sync.
Action · Board-driven print
Supply marks arrive faster.
Closure · Exceptions closable
State matches label actions.
05 // End-to-end implementation flow
Survey KPIs → pilot board → task→label print → scan close → line cutover → accept
Describe line KPIs and label triggers—we’ll plan an e-kanban implementation.

How print connects to LuckDesign / LuckNext
Print only when a board task needs a physical mark: supply/warning templates in LuckDesign, multi-line HTTP API jobs via LuckNext—kanban covers line-side visibility; complex plans use the injection scheduling solution.

FAQ
Where does board data come from?
PDA reporting, station process, or device collection—phased per project.
Need a big screen?
Andon walls, station screens, or tablets all work—same data source and printable actions matter more.
