Andon Camera
Monitor

Real-time uptime and downtime tracking from live cameras. Connects to USB webcams and RTSP/IP cameras — detects Andon light colour automatically and logs every state change as it happens. Built for continuous unattended monitoring on the production floor.

What are Andon lights?

Andon lights are the coloured status lights on your machines — green means running, red means stopped. This software watches them automatically using a camera already pointed at your floor, so every downtime event is logged without anyone lifting a pen.
