What makes Peakboard Hub unique?
Efficient data and device management for production and IT
Keep a central overview of all your Peakboard Box or BYOD devices: configure settings, import updates, analyze performance and optimize processes — all in one platform, in real time.
Centralized device management
Manage all your devices centrally via the Peakboard Hub. Monitor status, configure settings, and keep your infrastructure under control — efficiently and clearly.
Simplified data management
Centrally controlled data, uniformly across all devices.
Structure and manage key values and variables centrally — for consistent data on all Peakboard Box or BYOD devices.
Flexible application control
Manage, switch, update dashboards — seamlessly.
Control your dashboards dynamically across all Peakboard Box or BYOD devices — without interruption and with maximum flexibility.
Secure system connections
Securely connect SAP, ERP & Co.
Securely connect your systems such as SAP, ERP or MES — with encrypted access data and central connection management via the hub.
Centralized storage & analysis
Data-based decisions made easy.
Store historical data centrally and analyze it in a targeted manner — so that you can react faster and more specifically to changes in IT and production.
Automated data processes
Create and manage automations centrally in the Peakboard Hub — quickly, flexibly and without detours. With Hub Flows, recurring tasks can be centrally controlled: from data collection to forwarding to aggregation.
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

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.

Frequently asked questions
The Peakboard Hub stores and evaluates alerts centrally. There are three alert types – Info, Warning, and Problem – delivered by email to configurable recipient lists or by browser push notification on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Alerts are triggered by Peakboard Boxes, Hub Flows, or via the Hub API.
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:
- Centrally manage Peakboard Boxes and BYOD devices – device overview, licenses, IP addresses, remote configuration, and automatic updates rolled out to the entire device fleet.
- 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.
- 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 Online includes a free Starter tier for small setups with up to 5 connected Peakboard Boxes or BYOD devices, including Hub lists. Beyond that, pricing is available on request; the paid tier adds central device management, connections, alerts, the Power Automate Connector, and the Hub API. Peakboard Hub On-Premise is licensed separately based on setup size, and add-ons such as Hub Flows affect the total. Both editions can be trialed free of charge for 6 months.
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.
Yes. The Peakboard Hub connects the shop floor to IT systems such as SAP, ERP, and MES. Data flows in both directions: machine requests can be buffered and bundled before being passed to SAP, order data can be received, and production figures reported back to ERP or MES. Credentials for third-party systems are held centrally in the Hub.
Peakboard Hub Online is the SaaS edition – instantly ready, hosted and maintained by Peakboard, with a free Starter tier for small setups and pricing available on request beyond that. Peakboard Hub On-Premise runs on your own Windows Server hardware in your own 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.
No – the Peakboard Hub is optional. Peakboard Boxes and BYOD devices also run autonomously without it. As soon as multiple devices, multiple plants, or centrally captured data come into play, the Hub makes operations considerably simpler.
Hub Flows automate data processing and business logic directly inside the Peakboard Hub. Flows are assembled 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.
Hub lists are central data tables with a graphical interface that all connected Peakboard Boxes, BYOD devices, browser applications, and the Hub API can read and write simultaneously. Columns can be configured with types, default values, and constraints; filtering (equal, not equal, starts/ends with, contains) and sorting are built in. Typical data models: machine and production data acquisition, shop floor management, actions, shifts, and newly captured values.
Yes. The Peakboard Hub provides an HTTP or HTTPS interface for integration with external systems and for remote function calls. Hub Online uses HTTPS only; Hub On-Premise supports HTTP or HTTPS depending on configuration. Peakboard also provides an MCP server, which makes the Hub available via the Model Context Protocol as a data source for AI agents and LLM applications.
Peakboard Boxes can be managed centrally in the browser with the Peakboard Hub – including updates and content distribution. The Hub is available cloud-based or on-premise.
