Central collection of machine data via OPC UA from Softing

Large production, large amounts of data — keep track of things with Softing & Peakboard

In modern production environments, huge amounts of machine data are generated every day. To make this data usable, clear and efficient, we rely on a partnership with Softing. The focus is on the standardization and optimal use of machine data — simple, scalable and in real time.

Seamless data integration thanks to Softing

The OPC UA server from Softing enables the central collection and standardization of data from various PLC manufacturers. This creates a uniform database — regardless of the machine type or manufacturer. Softing's middleware solutions ensure fast, secure and reliable data communication in industrial networks.

Visualization with Peakboard: Fast, flexible, low-code

Although Peakboard already over 100 data connections , integration with Softing extends compatibility with additional PLC protocols — and that without additional development effort. The collected data can be directly transferred to individual applications such as Real-Time Dashboards, Andon Boards, HMIs, SCADA or BDE systems be integrated. This creates interactive visualizations that make processes more transparent and decisions based on data.

Scalable Safe Ready for the future.

The central provision of data via OPC UA reduces the system load — Peakboard only accesses the OPC UA server instead of querying each machine individually. This is particularly true for larger production environments A decisive advantage: More efficiency, less complexity and a stable basis for digitizing manufacturing.
