Hytek Finishes

Smart Beacon System for Industrial Process Optimization

Hytek Finishes currently uses manual beacons to communicate machine statuses; but these systems only provide basic visual signals and are found ineffective by workers. The existing system also fails to notify all relevant personnel of status changes. This project developed an integrated system featuring four-state industrial beacons and a touchscreen interface that combines visual indication, issue logging, and notifications while withstanding the plant’s harsh environments. Through its scalable design and integration with company servers, the system enables comprehensive issue tracking, enhancing communication, minimizing downtime, and supporting process optimization at Hytek Finishes.
