Intelligent HMI control for better car wash

In an automated washing system, every second counts — whether it's entering the code, controlling the machine or checking the washing progress. One HMI-based control makes the entire process more efficient and transparent, reduces sources of error and improves the customer experience.

Challenge

  • Complex, expensive development of an individual control solution
  • Lack of real-time overview of the washing process
  • Difficult integration into existing PLC and IT systems

Solution with Peakboard

  • Low-code HMI software for fast, flexible deployment
  • Real-time visualization of all processes on interactive dashboards
  • Easy connection to PLC and IoT systems (e.g. MQTT, OPC UA, Siemens, Beckhoff)

Result

  • Efficient control through intuitive HMI interface
  • Better traceability and data storage for future improvements
  • Higher customer satisfaction through transparent and fast processes
