Smarter control of series production

Data-driven production analysis is strategically indispensable today. In series production, even small inefficiencies due to high quantities multiply into major problems. The continuous analysis of all production steps offers numerous benefits: It reveals waste, helps with production planning and enables well-founded decisions down to management level. This shows, for example, which production lines run most efficiently and where bottlenecks are forming.

Especially in the course of Industry 4.0, Mass Customization and smart factory concepts, modern production analysis is the basis for sustainable improvements. It supports lean production initiatives by providing data for continuous improvement processes (CIP). In addition, thanks to a better data basis, companies can react more quickly to market changes and ensure their competitiveness. Briefly: Production analysis in series production is the key to long-term success in a dynamic market.

What is digital production analysis in series production?

Digital production analysis in series production captures and visualises production KPIs such as OEE, cycle time and error rate in real time directly at the line – replacing manual evaluations and Excel exports. With Peakboard, all relevant data from SAP, MES and machine controllers is consolidated and immediately accessible to every shift manager.

Which KPIs are monitored in series production?

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), cycle time per order, error rate and scrap, machine availability and workforce utilisation. All values can be segmented by line, shift or product variant and analysed historically.

Which systems are supported?

Peakboard connects to SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, MES systems such as FORCAM FORCE and MPDV HYDRA, Microsoft SQL Server, OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT and Excel files. The certified SAP connector also allows write-back of production confirmations directly into SAP.

How quickly is production analysis live with Peakboard?

The template can be downloaded and connected to initial data sources on the same day. A first productive application is typically live in under 5 days – without a major IT project and without programming skills in the specialist department.

Can I adapt the dashboard myself as production changes?

Yes. New product variants, additional lines or changed thresholds are adjusted in Peakboard Designer via drag-and-drop or with Peakbot, the integrated AI. IT is only involved for infrastructure and network, not for content changes.

Does the production analysis run on-premise or in the cloud?

Peakboard runs entirely on-premise. Production data does not leave the plant, there is no cloud requirement and no dependency on US infrastructure providers. This makes Peakboard 100 % GDPR-compliant and particularly suitable for confidential production data.
