    • Local Status Indication

    Identify and Resolve Problems Quickly

    Local status indication provides operators and supervisors with clear information when and where they need it so that they can quickly resolve critical status conditions.  LED indicators can be easily understood in any language and with minimal training.

    For operators, illuminated indicators, touch buttons, and e-stops are nearby and provide status clearly, so they can act quickly and confidently when problems occur.

    Tower lights and other high visibility indicators communicate machine, work cell, and inventory status at a glance, helping supervisors monitor multiple stations or machines and identify and resolve issues effectively.

    Challenges of Local Indication

    Consider Visibility and the Environment

    A local indication is a must, but several challenges may impact the type of indicator that you choose for your application.

    Visibility: It is essential to understand who needs to see the indicator to identify the right solution.  Tower lights mounted above the machine are ideal for supervisors who need to be able to scan the work area and quickly identify stations that need assistance; meanwhile, operators may need a solution that is within their normal sightlines.

    Environment: Industrial environments can be harsh, and local indicators are often right in the middle of the process. They may be exposed to vibration, impact, spills, and more that can damage the electronics.  Choosing a rugged LED indicator built for industrial use is a must to protect your investment.

    Every application is different.  Explore typical solutions below, or contact an engineer to discuss your specific requirements. 

    Top Features of Local Indication Solutions

    Colors and Animations for Clear Communication

    Make Controls More Intuitive

    • Modern indication requires a broader spectrum of color options than the typical 3-5 colors available with most traditional indicators.   
    • Multicolor indicators with up to 14 color options and animations allow each status or step in a process to have a different indication from other steps, eliminating confusion and speeding up interpretation of the signals. 
    • Control panels are an excellent application for multicolor indicators.  Machine panels with many buttons and indicators can complicate communication and hinder machine operation.
    • Adding multicolor indicators to panels can make the control panel more intuitive for operators and shorten the learning curve.

    Protect Your Investment

    • LED indicators experience some of the most punishing environments in the factory. 
    • For example, operators may accidentally drop or spill things on the indicators.  Plus, LED indicators are often directly mounted to machinery exposing them to constant vibration.
    • For washdown applications, an LED indicator rated IP69K is essential to withstand high-temperature, high-pressure washdown.
    • All K30 and K50 Series indicators from Banner are impact-resistant and rated IP66, IP67, and IP69K to protect the LED from damage in almost any environment.
