‍
Typical areas of application:

  • Capture and historicize machine data
  • Distribute information between ERP and shop floor systems
  • Buffer and further process production feedback
  • Calculate daily key figures automatically

Peakboard Hub in practice

Manage IT efficiently, optimize production processes and secure company data
— all via a central platform.

For IT administrators

Manage your entire infrastructure centrally and efficiently. From device and license management to secure sharing of data sources, the hub significantly reduces administrative costs, especially for large networks. Thanks to the clear separation between IT and user tasks, administrators remain in control at all times and benefit from specialized functions such as alarm monitoring.

For production workers

Direct access to central data — flexibly and without detours via IT. Changes can be made in real time, and alarms or messages can be processed directly. This allows you to fix issues faster and make well-founded decisions while you focus on what's important.

For companies

Create structure and security: Central administration and security mechanisms protect your sensitive data and ensure a clear division of roles between IT and users. At the same time, the efficiency of your entire infrastructure is increased — through less administrative work, seamless connections, and flexible customization options in real time.

Increase efficiency with
Peakboard Hub

Centralize device management, gain real-time insights, and easily adapt applications across the entire infrastructure—all from a central platform.

Save time through central control

With the Peakboard Hub, you manage devices, licenses and connections centrally. Manual configurations are no longer necessary — changes can be implemented quickly and easily across the company.

Everything at a glance

Keep track of all devices, applications, and connections. Track statuses, receive notifications, and fix issues right away — for smooth processes.

Maximum flexibility

Quickly customize dashboards or applications and distribute them across multiple devices and locations. Stay flexible and responsive — with just one central interface.

The choice is yours

Peakboard Hub on-premise or online

You have two options to centrally manage your Peakboard boxes or BYOD devices as well as your data.
To give you a quick overview, we have summarized the most important differences for you. The range of functions is identical in both variants

Peakboard Hub on-premise
Peakboard Hub online
Infrastructure
The software is operated by yourself and only you have control over the infrastructure.
The infrastructure is operated by Peakboard and access is online. You only use the service, but you are not responsible for maintenance and operation.
Installation
You install and operate the Peakboard Hub instance on your own hardware at your own expense.
No installation is required here. Peakboard Hub is offered as SaaS.
Data limitation
Technically, the scope of use, such as storage space, number of accesses or Peakboard Boxes, is only limited by hardware capacity.
An included quota of 1 GB of pure data storage and 5,000 Peakboard Box accesses per day give you sufficient flexibility. Should you still need more volume, we will provide this in addition by arrangement.
Availability
Availability depends on your architecture. You are welcome to set up a test instance.
The availability is 99.9% (which corresponds to a maximum downtime of just under 9 hours per year).
Licensing
A subscription of 340€ per month (annual billing) is required for use.
Use the Peakboard Hub online starter free of charge — for up to 5 connected Peakboard Boxes or BYOD devices including Peakboard Hub lists.
Starting with the 6th connection, a subscription is required:
340€ per month (billed annually).

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is the Peakboard Hub?

The Peakboard Hub is the central platform for Peakboard applications and turns decentralized shop floor solutions into an orchestrated overall system. The Hub is not mandatory – Peakboard Boxes and BYOD devices also run autonomously – but it makes a lot of things easier as soon as multiple devices, multiple plants, or newly captured data come into play. Three core jobs:

  1. Centrally manage Peakboard Boxes and BYOD devices – device overview, licenses, IP addresses, remote configuration, and automatic updates rolled out to the entire device fleet.
  2. Centrally store and historize data from machines, sensors, and manual inputs instead of only displaying it momentarily. Hub lists work as central data tables that all connected devices can read and write simultaneously; Hub Variables synchronize individual values via MQTT in real time.
  3. Define logic once in Hub Flows and run it centrally on the Hub server, instead of maintaining it on every box separately – including buffering and bundling of thousands of machine requests to SAP, writing production figures back to ERP/MES, and centrally managed credentials for third-party systems. (Hub Flows are currently only available in the On-Premise edition.)

The Hub addresses two user groups: IT staff for device administration, network configuration, and access control, and process teams for data models, workflows, and reporting.

Peakboard Hub
Does the Peakboard Hub have an API?

Yes, the Peakboard Hub provides an HTTP or HTTPS interface for integration with external systems and for executing remote function calls. Hub Online uses HTTPS only; Hub On-Premise supports HTTP or HTTPS depending on configuration. In addition, an MCP server is available, making the Hub usable as a data source for AI agents and LLM applications via the Model Context Protocol.

Peakboard Hub
What are the system requirements for Peakboard Hub On-Premise?

Peakboard Hub On-Premise runs on a Windows Server with IIS in your own intranet. As database, the included SQL Server Express or your own SQL Server can be used. Authentication uses Active Directory with Windows username and password.

Peakboard Hub
What is the difference between Peakboard Hub Online and Hub On-Premise?

Peakboard Hub Online is the SaaS edition, instantly ready and maintained by Peakboard. A free Starter tier is available for small setups; pricing for larger deployments is available on request. Peakboard Hub On-Premise runs on the customer's own Windows Server hardware in their intranet, offers full data sovereignty, and is currently the only edition with Hub Flows, availability overview, Hub logs, and external MQTT broker integration. Both editions are equally valid – the choice depends on data sovereignty requirements, workflow complexity, and setup size.

Peakboard Hub
Can I connect the Peakboard Hub to SAP, ERP, or MES?

Yes. The Peakboard Hub acts as a bridge between the shop floor and IT systems. You can exchange data bidirectionally, buffer and bundle machine requests before passing them to SAP, receive order data, and report production figures back to ERP or MES. Credentials for third-party systems are managed centrally in the Hub.

Peakboard Hub
What are Hub Flows?

With Hub Flows you automate data processing and business logic directly inside the Hub. Flows are built visually from triggers and steps, without classical programming. Available triggers are time-based (periodically or at fixed times), event-based (on data changes), function triggers with parameters, and manual triggering. Flow projects are created in Peakboard Designer and uploaded to the Hub, where they run centrally on the Hub server – without UI or display device, instead of being maintained on every box in parallel. Hub Flows are currently only available in the On-Premise edition.
