What Is a Machine Status Display Board?

A Machine Status Display Board is a digital display used in factories to show live machine states. Instead of walking around to check each machine, supervisors can simply look at one central board and instantly understand the condition of every critical asset.

Typical states shown on the board include:

  • Running Machine is producing normally
  • Idle Machine is ON but not producing
  • Breakdown Machine stopped due to fault
  • Maintenance Planned or unplanned maintenance
  • Setup / Changeover Job change in progress
  • Alarm / Quality Quality or safety issue
