overview
Peakboard Edge.
the interface between input and output devices
with a direct connection and digital data provision.
What is Peakboard?
Peakboard communicates data from all kinds of different data sources on monitors simply, efficiently and individually – and all that in real time. This means that employees at all levels and business divisions can keep an eye on not only their most important indicators but also the ongoing processes, so they can work more independently and efficiently. In production and logistics, there are applications that require a quick input and output of information to make the processes as efficient as possible.
What is Peakboard Edge?
Peakboard Edge can directly input and output information through external devices. Peakboard Edge does not communicate via a display to do this. Instead, it is always connected to a Peakboard Box. Input information, e.g. from switches, buttons, barcode scanners, RFID readers and light barriers, is directly relayed to the Peakboard Box via Peakboard Edge and processed there. Output information is sent from the Peakboard Box to Peakboard Edge and displayed via signal lights or sound boxes, for example. Using Peakboard Edge substantially reduces the data processing and transmission time (latency) and makes the visualization more flexible. The data flow occurs via LAN or WiFi.
use case
production I.
Fault messages are communicated directly to the shift supervisor via a button connected to Peakboard Edge.
use case
production II.
Using a light barrier connected to Peakboard Edge, production units are directly counted and visualized in a target/actual comparison.
use case
logistics I.
Signal lights connected to Peakboard Edge are attached to the factory gates. When a truck arrives at the gate, the Peakboard Box pulls the information on the availability of the respective gate from the logistics system and relays it to Peakboard Edge. Peakboard Edge displays the availability via the signal light.
use case
logistics II.
The warehouse employee scans the EAN code on a package with an EAN code scanner connected to Peakboard Edge. Peakboard Edge sends the information to the Peakboard Box, which displays the corresponding pallet space on the screen.
