About the E-Kanban Call Button
The E-Kanban Call Button (ECB) is a call button
intended for just-in-time parts replenishment to
assembly lines in manufacturing operations (e-
Kanban). Its true wireless nature enables easy
deployment without need for wired power or
communication lines. Alternately, a hard-wired
power supply can be used if desired.
The ECB has a large multi-color LED indicator which
is constructed in such a way that it can be observed
from a distance in the well-lit environments
characteristic of a production line.
Two large buttons enable workers to call for parts,
and their robust construction allows for rough
handling without fear of damage. Button functions are software configurable.
The ECB communicates to the rest of GuardRFID system utilizing the same infrastructure as
GuardRFID tags, and communication frequency used (433 MHz), ensures reliable 2-way
communication in the most difficult RF conditions. A variety of LED flashing patterns, colors and
buzzer annunciations enable the device to signal a wide spectrum of notifications, under full
control of software application.
