Over 300 industrial companies from the USA and DACH rely on Peakboard

In the daily shift review

– without Peakboard

Throughput volumes are not visible in real time.

Fluctuations or faults are detected too late.

Historical data is hard to access—decisions are often based on delayed information.

Do it better
with Peakboard

  • Live visualization of flow rate, belt speed, and weight
  • Monthly view with daily flow rates for trend analysis
  • Direct connection to belt scales via Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, or BACnet
  • Central presentation of all key figures in one dashboard

Connect over 100 data sources. No integration project needed.

Native SAP connector, OPC UA, MQTT, and dozens of other sources are available out-of-the-box. You just connect, instead of integrating – and the data appears directly at the shop floor.

    Features & benefits of conveyor scale monitoring

    This template combines live data with historical evaluations and makes processes immediately understandable.

    Why is monitoring conveyor scales and material flow useful?

    Monitoring conveyor scales creates transparency about ongoing conveyor processes and helps to identify deviations at an early stage.

    • Real-time insight into flow rate and system performance
    • Early detection of fluctuations, overloads or downtimes
    • Continuous data basis for optimizations
    • Better predictability of production and use of materials

    What data and functions does the conveyor scale template offer?

    The template bundles all relevant key figures and presents them clearly for operational use.

    • Display of flow rate, belt speed and weight in real time
    • Monthly overview with daily flow rates
    • Visualizing trends and anomalies over time
    • Use in the control room or directly on the system

    How does the integration of conveyor scales with Peakboard work?

    Peakboard connects directly to the conveyor scale and processes the data for visualization in real time.

    • Connection via Modbus for direct reading of machine data
    • Alternative interfaces such as OPC UA, MQTT or BACnet can be used
    • Processing and updating data during operation
    • Using variable lists for demo or offline scenarios

    Why use Peakboard for conveyor scale monitoring?

    With Peakboard, individual monitoring solutions can be quickly implemented and flexibly expanded.

    • Build applications without programming
    • Easy integration into existing machines and systems – over 100 interfaces available
    • Adaptable to different systems and requirements
