Interactive real-time dashboard for optimizing manual production data acquisition (PDA)
In many production plants, manual production data acquisition (PDA) is often a time-consuming and error-prone process. There is often no clear and quick feedback on the quality of the products and the efficiency of the production lines. This leads to delays, increased scrap rates and difficulties in identifying and correcting errors in production. Production management and employees often struggle to identify problems in real time and make the necessary adjustments, which ultimately affects overall productivity and product quality. With Peakboard, you can overcome these issues and optimize your production processes with accurate, real-time data from your quality control.
Our interactive application for manual production data acquisition (PDA) is an effective solution for your logistics or production. Employees in quality control can enter information on inspected items directly via a user-friendly touchscreen at the workstation or on a mobile tablet.
After logging in, employees are taken directly to the overview. Here they can clock in, clock out and enter breaks. An overview of individual performance data is displayed on this screen, including machine running time and product comparison. In addition, the screen provides a clear overview of the current orders, which are processed one after the other.
The reasons for rejects are recorded on the second screen.
If an article is free of defects, this is confirmed by pressing the “OK” button. For items with quality problems, the defects can also be specified in detail.
On the third screen, the application immediately shows you the quality of the items produced, both in real time and over a longer period of time. This information helps to quickly identify problems, such as a high number of defective parts, so that production processes can be optimized immediately.
The application also makes it possible to precisely record and analyze additional important data such as the throughput time of a product, the running time of the machines and the productivity of the employees at the machines in a target/actual comparison.
The recorded data is automatically saved in Peakboard Hub and can be used for comprehensive historical analyses. Alternatively, other databases such as SQL, SAP, Oracle or ODBC can also be used. By storing the data, you have the option of monitoring and analyzing your data over longer periods of time using Peakboard or BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
In addition, all scripts in this template have been created with Peakboard Building Blocks, our low-code script editor, which makes it easy to customize to specific needs and the corporate design of the company.
With our dashboard for production data collection, companies achieve a significant improvement in data clarity and transparency. The real-time visualization of production data enables errors and inefficient processes to be identified and rectified immediately, increasing production quality and efficiency. The continuous collection and storage of operational data in Peakboard Hub provides valuable historical insights that can be used for long-term analysis and strategic decision-making. Overall, the application contributes to higher production output, a reduction in waste and sustainable cost reduction.
Capture, process and visualize your order data e.g. from SAP with the production data from your machine – in real time and without major programming effort.
