The DC-25T-DN-Multi-Process-Mass Production Timer is a fully customizable, three-stage subprocess production timer designed to bring structure, visibility, and accountability to multi-step manufacturing environments. Built specifically for sequential production workflows, this system ensures that each phase of a process is timed, tracked, and clearly communicated across the factory floor.

Each of the three processes can be individually programmed to count down from a specific time value in minutes and seconds. Once started, the timer guides operators step-by-step through Process 1, Process 2, and Process 3 in strict sequence. This ensures consistency in workflow and eliminates confusion about production order.

When a process reaches 20% of its remaining time, the integrated three-color ANDON indicator provides a flashing yellow visual warning, prompting operators to complete the task within the allotted timeframe. If a process runs past zero, the display begins flashing and counts upward to show overage time, while the ANDON light turns solid red to signal that intervention may be required. When all three processes are completed successfully, the ANDON indicator turns green, signaling readiness for material movement or the next production cycle.

A major feature of this system is the Total Elapsed Time display located at the bottom of the unit. This display accumulates the full production time of all three processes combined, including both countdown time and any overtime. It provides management with clear visibility into total cycle time performance. The display shows minutes and seconds up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds, then automatically shifts to a minutes-only format as it continues accumulating — capable of tracking up to 9,999 total minutes.

Programming is handled through a secure wireless controller, allowing management to set process durations while keeping programming access restricted from the production floor. Once set, values are stored in nonvolatile memory, meaning programmed times remain intact even after power loss.

On the production floor, operators control the workflow using a simple remote interface or wall-mounted controls. Workers can:

• Start and advance to the next process
• Pause and resume timing as needed (such as for breaks or interruptions)
• Reset all processes back to their original programmed values
• Control sequencing without accessing programming functions

The pause and resume function maintains high timing precision, while the display operates at one-second resolution for clear readability.

Key Functional Highlights:

• Three sequential subprocess timers
• Individual programmable countdown values (minutes and seconds)
• 20% remaining time visual alert
• Overage tracking with flashing display and red ANDON alert
• Green completion signal when all processes finish
• Total accumulated elapsed time display
• Nonvolatile memory retention
• Wireless programming control
• Operator-friendly remote and wall controls
• Millisecond pause/resume accuracy with 1-second display resolution

The DC-25T-DN-Multi-Process-Mass Production Timer is also highly expandable and adaptable to specific production needs. The system can be configured for additional processes (up to ten stages), integrated with network capabilities, equipped with larger display formats, or customized with alternative activation methods such as sensors. Housed in a durable aluminum enclosure, the unit is built for demanding industrial environments.

This timer is ideal for manufacturing facilities that require structured process flow, measurable performance tracking, overtime visibility, and real-time ANDON signaling to maintain production efficiency. Whether used for assembly lines, staged fabrication, or controlled batch operations, it provides clear timing accountability and immediate visual communication across the entire production floor.
