Time to Value
1 day until productive use of the first Peakboard Box
The Joh. Clouth GmbH & Co. KG — founded in 1874 — is today an internationally active and successful manufacturer of high-quality wear parts and capital goods for the paper and steel industry. In addition to the headquarters in Hückeswagen, the Clouth Group has included the company Clouth Sprenger in Moers since 2003 and, since 2006, Joh. Clouth Maschinenbau Eltmann in Eltmann, Lower Franconia. All companies attach great importance to quality, flexibility, innovative strength and an excellent cost-benefit ratio.
“We like the simple operation of the Peakboard Designer and that complex designs can still be created with LUA. The first-class support from Peakboard and the speed with which new functions are implemented should be clearly emphasised. ”
Transparent information at a glance
Joh. Clouth's aim was to provide general information and key figures specifically where they were needed. Ideally, the content should be easy to take in — in passing, as it were — on a digital “bulletin board”. Because timely and open internal communication increases productivity and thus actively contributes to the company's success.
Very enthusiastic
During his research, Marc-Phillip Stüttem, head of IT at Joh. Clouth GmbH & Co. KG, came across the all-in-one Peakboard solution, which consists of software and hardware. After a first successful test of the software, a test version was requested in order to be able to test the created screens directly in the individual departments.
“Right from the start, we were impressed by the simple operation of the Peakboard Designer and that complex designs can still be created with LUA,” reports Mr. Stüttem.
The first designs and screens were created correspondingly quickly: “We first tried out different layouts and saw what the Peakboard Designer could do. But after about a day, we had the first screen we wanted ready to use. The quick response time and implementation of new functions from Peakboard Support were also excellent,” explains Mr. Stüttem.
Clearly simple
Joh. Clouth now has nine Peakboard Boxes in use in various areas, so that all employees receive the information defined in the requirement in an understandable way at all times.
Peakboard as far as the eye can see
Clouth Group's products and services are currently available in more than 70 countries around the world. The trend is rising, as the Clouth Group continues to grow and this will result in additional opportunities to read out data. Peakboard will also be used here in the future.
