Downtime Tracking: More transparency, fewer outages

Every unplanned machine failure costs you time and money. With Peakboard, you can record downtimes in real time, analyze causes and reduce production downtime sustainably. Use full transparency to react faster, manage processes more efficiently and increase the OEE of your production.

Your downtime tracker for more machine availability

Unplanned downtime is the biggest productivity killer in manufacturing. With Peakboard, you get full transparency about machine stops in real time — directly on an interactive dashboard.

Challenge

Unplanned downtimes cause costs, delays and delivery problems.
No real-time data: Causes and frequency remain unclear.
No quick response to recurring downtimes is possible.

Solution with Peakboard

Real-time downtime tracking with an interactive dashboard.
Automatic and manual recording of downtimes for detailed analyses.
Clear visualization of patterns and causes for rapid optimization.

Result

Reduced machine downtimes and improved production utilization.
Lower operating costs through targeted process optimization.
More transparency and faster response times throughout the manufacturing process.

Less downtime, more efficiency

Unplanned downtime is one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing. Downtimes are often not detected at all or only with a delay because they are entered and reported manually — for example using a paper form or Excel list. As a result, response times are extended and optimization potential remains unused.

Here creates a transparent real-time overview Remedy: If all relevant data on machine downtimes is immediately available, you can immediately take countermeasures. The increased data transparency forms the basis for sustainable process optimization: Only those who have precise information about the frequency and duration of failures can take targeted improvement measures and efficiency increase its production — and thus also key figures such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) improve.

Every minute counts — recording and optimizing unplanned outages

Every minute of downtime costs valuable production time — which is why it is essential to record and evaluate unplanned failures without interruption. With a solution based on Peakboard, you can implement effective downtime tracking and monitor and analyze downtime in detail:

Real time tracking: Every machine downtime is immediately identified and recorded. This allows you to view live information about current downtimes at any time.
Root cause analysis: Assign a reason or comment to every standstill and identify common sources of error at a glance.
Pattern recognition: Identify recurring patterns — such as whether certain plants, production lines, or shifts are affected by downtimes at an above-average rate.
Manual and automatic recording: Downtime data can both be automatically transferred from machine signals (e.g. via OPC UA from your plant control system or MES) and entered manually by employees.
Statistical analyses & trends: Analyze the frequency and duration of shutdowns over any period of time. This is how you identify trends, measure the success of countermeasures and derive strategic optimizations.

Fewer failures in the long term

Sustainable production improvements

In the long term, precise downtime tracking enables significant improvements in production. Unplanned outages are continuously reduced, which directly leads to lower operating costs. At the same time, the Machine availability and your production gains stability — an important prerequisite for reliably meeting delivery dates.

The data obtained from the downtime analysis also helps you make well-founded decisions. Whether it's about maintenance strategies adapt, train employees in a targeted manner or in more modern manufacturing plants to invest: With the insights from downtime tracking, you optimize your processes based on facts and lay the foundation for continuous improvement (KVP) of your production.
