Visualize production data: More transparency for your production

The ability to capture and visualize production data in real time is a decisive competitive advantage today. With a digital dashboard, you create transparency at all levels of your production — whether in individual, series or mixed production. As a result, teams react more quickly to deviations, avoid unnecessary downtime and continuously optimize processes.

Production dashboard with real-time visualization of line performance, order progress and manufactured parts for optimized production control.

Real challenges, smart solutions, visible results

With Peakboard, you turn typical production obstacles into real competitive advantages. Find out how our solution actually works and what measurable results you can expect.

Challenge

  • Lack of real-time data prevents quick decisions

  • Unclear responsibilities lead to communication gaps

Solution with Peakboard

  • Real-time visualization of relevant production data
  • Automatic alarms in case of deviations and faults
  • Intuitive dashboards for efficient exchange of information

Result

  • Quick responses and reduced downtime
  • Increased productivity through transparent processes
  • Sustainable cost reduction and continuous process optimization
More overview, less downtime

Systematic process optimization: Why visualize production data?

Production outages and inefficient processes can result in high costs. By using your production data Collect digitally and visualize in real time, you get a clear overview of current processes and bottlenecks. This allows you to react immediately before major disruptions or delays occur.

One data-based manufacturing It also increases team motivation: All parties involved can see at a glance whether production is on target and which quality requirements apply. This promotes a common understanding of goals and indicators and leads to greater efficiency across the entire value chain.

This is how the Peakboard system works

Data collection & integration
Peakboard seamlessly integrates your existing systems — from ERP or MES databases to machine data via OPC UA or Siemens S7. You can also connect JSON and XML feeds as well as local files (such as Excel). This gives you a comprehensive overview of all production data.

Configuration & Customization
With Peakboard Designer, you create individual dashboards including desired KPIs, design elements and alarm rules. The low-code approach makes it easy to set up without extensive IT knowledge — tailored to your processes.

Real-Time Visualization
Depending on the infrastructure, your data can be displayed either via the Peakboard Box or via Peakboard BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). The dashboards are constantly updated so that your teams always have access to the latest key figures — whether on the shop floor or in the office.

Write-back & analysis
Changes to production progress or machine parameters can be written back directly to the source system to avoid duplicate data maintenance. At the same time, all relevant information is stored in the Peakboard Hub, which allows you to analyze trends in the long term and better identify optimization potential.

Know key figures — optimize processes

The most important functions of digital production data visualization

  1. Live data from various sources
    Integrate ERP, MES, or sensor data to get a holistic view of the manufacturing process.
  2. Traffic light system & alarm functions
    Identify discrepancies immediately and use automated notifications to prevent failures or quality deficiencies.
  3. Easy-to-use dashboard
    Set KPIs like OEE, cycle times or rejection rates — adapted to your corporate design and the needs of your teams.
  4. Interactive control
    Employees can use touch screens or tablets to update machine status or order progress and write back to the source systems as needed.

Key figures when visualizing production data

  • Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE): Measures how effectively systems are running compared to their ideal state.
  • Turnaround times: Identifies bottlenecks in manufacturing and shows where processes can be accelerated.
  • Scrap & error rates: Enable direct quality control and cost reduction through less rework.
  • Employee workload: Provides clarity as to whether personnel resources are being used optimally.

Visualizing production data with Peakboard — your benefits

Peakboard offers you a scalable solution that is suitable for both small production lines and globally networked corporations. Thanks to a low-code approach, dashboards and applications can be created or adapted in no time — without complex IT projects. For companies that attach particular importance to security, Peakboard also enables local operation without an external cloud, so that sensitive production data remains in-house. This flexibility and independence results in noticeable time and cost savings: Manual data collection is reduced to a minimum, downtime is avoided thanks to a real-time overview and proactively optimizes production processes.

“Easy implementation and use was important to us. Peakboard offered many standards in the SAP environment and was able to integrate all data sources without programming effort. In addition, even before making the decision, I noticed that we could use the graphical interface intuitively and easily adapt it. ”
