SCADA Visualization: Plant Data in Real Time Where the Work Happens
With Peakboard you pull plant data from SCADA, PLCs, and sensors—and show machine status, limit values, and faults in real time on a display on the shop floor. Straight from OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT, or Modbus, with no programming knowledge.
- Up and running fast
- Low IT effort
- 100% On-Premises
Friday afternoon in the control room
– without Peakboard
The plant data sits in the control room—nobody sees it at the line.
Limit violations end up in a log—the response comes too late.
Process values and order data live in separate systems—merging them by hand costs time and invites mistakes.
Do it better
with Peakboard
The template shows every asset in one real-time view – measured values, limits, and operating states at a glance, straight from the systems you already run.
- Every asset in view at once – single machine, line, or distributed sites: the state of each one is visible immediately
- Immediate response on limit values – deviations and faults appear in real time, before scrap or downtime happens
- Connects to OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT, and Modbus – plus SAP, MES, and SQL, so plant data and order data come together
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.
- ERP, MES & Databases
- Machinery & Industrial Hardware
- Cloud & Office Services
Customize your plant visualization yourself and save IT resources.
A new asset, a different alarm level, an extra data source – thanks to the low-code editor and Peakbot, business teams can customize the visualization themselves, no coding skills required.
- Visual Drag & Drop Editor & AI Support
- Template 100% customizable
- Preview mode with your own live data
Run your plant visualization securely and with full control over your data
Whether on the Peakboard Box or your own hardware – both run 100% on-premises, with no single point of failure and no cloud dependency.
Roll out to more assets. Without the price shock.
Device-based pricing instead of user-based licenses: one license per display, unlimited users per device. More employees on the same display cost nothing extra.
- Pay-per-device pricing model
- Unlimited users
- Unlimited applications
From free download to a live plant visualization – in under 5 days.
Rolling out a plant visualization shouldn't take a year. With Peakboard, you start right away – no appointment, no major IT project.

You'll get a complete overview of all features and see what's possible with Peakboard in your environment.
With Peakboard, you get a flexible visualization layer above your existing SCADA system that can be adapted to your own requirements. Connecting to existing assets and systems is easy – over OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT, or Modbus.
How the direct connection to the controller works is shown on the page about the Siemens S7 data connection.
Is Peakboard a SCADA system?
No. Peakboard replaces neither the control system nor the safety functions of a plant. Peakboard is the visualization and interaction layer above them: it reads data from SCADA, PLCs, MES and ERP, brings it together and makes it usable where the work happens. For process control, standards-compliant alarm management and long-term archiving in the SCADA sense you still need a SCADA system — Peakboard then sits above it as the visualization layer.
What data sources does Peakboard support for plant visualization?
Peakboard connects directly to OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT, Modbus, Beckhoff TwinCAT, Rockwell and Kepware, as well as MES systems such as FORCAM FORCE, MPDV HYDRA and camLine InFrame Synapse. SAP (S/4HANA, ECC, EWM) is connected via the certified connector, along with SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and REST APIs. That way plant data and order data come together on one board — with no integration project.
Can I monitor assets without a SCADA system?
Yes. Not every plant needs a full control system. Peakboard talks to the PLC directly — over OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT or Modbus. There is no control system in between and no preliminary project just to make data available. You start on one line and roll out once it proves itself.
How secure is the connection to the OT network?
SCADA environments were designed for isolated networks, and many industrial protocols carry no authentication of their own. The usual OT ground rules therefore apply: segment OT and IT networks, grant access rights individually, connect read-only wherever possible and monitor the traffic. Peakboard fits that model: it reads values along and does not write to the control system, and it runs entirely on-premises inside your own network. There is no cloud requirement — the Peakboard Hub is optional and can be run on-premises as well, so data never leaves the company.
What hardware is needed for a plant visualization?
Two routes: the Peakboard Box, a dedicated industrial device running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise in an aluminium housing, DIN-rail mountable and running in a secured kiosk mode — or your existing hardware. With the BYOD license the visualization runs on the Windows PCs, tablets and industrial displays already in use at the line. Either way: 1 device = 1 license, no matter how many people look at it.
How quickly is a plant visualization live with Peakboard?
The Peakboard Designer can be downloaded for free and connected to first data sources the same day — no account, no time limit. A first productive application is typically live in under 5 days. The full rollout to further assets and sites usually takes under 3 months.
