Production analysis in series production
In modern series production, transparency makes the difference between success and failure. Production analysis in series production means continuously monitoring manufacturing processes with data and evaluating them in real time. Where hundreds to thousands of products are produced every day, up-to-date real-time data is the key: It makes it possible to identify trends immediately, react immediately to problems and to keep quality consistently high.
Rethinking series production: transparent, fast, connected
Keep track of your production in real time, react immediately to disruptions and optimize processes with data-based decisions — for smooth and future-proof production.

Result
- Less downtime, faster decisions and reduced error rates
- Higher efficiency through optimized processes and better use of resources
- Increased productivity, transparent processes and reduced operating costs
Why production analysis is important in 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 uncovers 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.
How Peakboard works
Peakboard combined integration, visualizing, Write-back and analysis in a low-code platform that was developed specifically for use in manufacturing.
First, all relevant data sources are connected — from ERP software such as SAP and Excel spreadsheets to machine controls or IoT sensors. These different data are brought together in Peakboard and can be customized in real time on dashboards be visualized.
The visualization takes place exactly where the information is needed: directly on the production line or in the control center. Clearly presented Key figures, traffic light displays and charts give the employees Information about the current status at a glance. Peakboard automatically triggers warning messages when limit values are exceeded or faults occur. Interactive control elements also make it possible to influence processes — for example, to adapt order data or write messages back to the source system (Write-back).
All these functions run decentrally on the Peakboard Box or your existing hardware (Peakboard BYOD) directly on site on the factory floor. As a result, they remain Data in the company (Data protection) and updates are made without delay. Peakboard acts as a real-time control center: It collects, processes and distributes information and thus enables seamless analysis your series production without the need for a complex IT infrastructure.
Key figures for production analyses
For a successful production analysis in series production, these key figures (KPIs) in particular should be continuously monitored:
- OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) — the overall equipment effectiveness measures the availability, performance and quality rate of all systems. This value shows how productive production is overall.
- Turnaround time — the period of time from start of production to completion of a product. Short turnaround times mean a fast production flow and low inventories.
- error rate — the proportion of defective parts or the scrap. A low error rate stands for stable processes and high quality standards, which means less rework and lower costs.
- employee workload — How busy the staff is. This key figure helps to avoid overloads and to optimize personnel deployment planning.
By monitoring these and other key figures (such as material consumption, adherence to delivery dates or plant availability), you get a complete picture of your production. Abnormalities and weak points are immediately visible and can be addressed in a targeted manner.
Benefits of Peakboard for series production
The introduction of Peakboard for production analysis provides specific benefits for series manufacturers:
- flexibility: The solution can be adapted to individual requirements — new key figures, machines or data sources can be integrated at any time. Peakboard quickly reflects changes in production, such as additional product variants.
- Quick setup: Thanks to numerous standard interfaces and an intuitive user interface, Peakboard is ready for use in no time at all. Without much programming effort, you can create your own dashboards and visualizations.
- Data protection: All production data remains in-house. Through local processing (edge computing), companies retain full control over their data, which is particularly important when it comes to confidential key figures.
- Increasing efficiency: With Peakboard, processes become measurably more efficient. Decisions are based on current facts instead of gut feeling. This results in optimized processes, minimal downtime and ultimately higher profitability.
In summary, Peakboard enables a efficient series production through real-time, data-driven insights. Production analysis thus becomes an integral part of day-to-day business, so that problems don't even become big in the first place. Companies that rely on this Real-Time Visibility Put, are able to their production to constantly improve expenses to reduce and adapt flexibly to new requirements. Take advantage of these modern options to your series production to take it to the next level with Peakboard and secure a sustainable competitive advantage.
