Make Your AI Earn Its Keep
The Andon Origin
The name "Andon" comes from the Japanese word for a traditional paper lantern, but it has a deeper meaning in manufacturing.
In Toyota's Production System, an "Andon cord" is a physical rope that workers can pull to signal problems on the assembly line. When pulled, it immediately alerts supervisors to issues and can even stop production until the problem is resolved.
Just like Toyota's Andon system provides visual signals about production status, our Andon lamp gives you visual cues about your AI assistant's status—letting you know when it's working, ready, or needs your attention.
