Transparent system of key figures in production

Often, key figures and analyses are arduously collected, printed, and handed out in the classically analog way. As a result, most of the information is already outdated before your staff even receives it. Peakboard gives you a simple and scalable solution that allows you to implement your digital shop floor management board in just a few easy steps. Link and communicate complex data between MES and ERP systems and IoT machine data – in real time! This way, you always have a clear overview of your operational processes.

  • Create clear and concise monitoring of your key figures from production, such as OEE, downtimes, scrap rates or cycle times
  • View key figures, daily targets, and progress in real time
  • Use Peakboard Hub to store your data so you will be able to analyze and evaluate it afterwards
