Visualize Production Data: Greater Transparency for Your Manufacturing

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.

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.

Benefits of visualization with Peakboard

‍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.
