# Data Visualization using Peakboard

## Creating dashboards feels like a serene meditation session!  <a href="#el_1690237193298_340" id="el_1690237193298_340"></a>

I'm back with my **second take on Peakboard**, and this time, it's all about showcasing my **OEE data from a Factory simulation environment** created on [**SIMUMATIK**](https://www.codeandcompile.com/simumatik). 🏭✨

## Video Example 1: OEE Dashboard

**Creating dashboards on Peakboard is not just a task; it's a blast!** 🔥🎉 The ready-to-use widgets make the process super fun and incredibly efficient.\
\
But wait, how did I crunch those OEE numbers? Let me break it down for you:

1. **Quality Calculation**: I'm diving into the production counts (Good and Bad parts) from my factory, all communicated by the S7-1500 PLC via OPC UA.
2. **Availability Check**: I'm considering total available time, system stop time, and run time to get the perfect metric.
3. **Performance:** It is based on ideal production time, total parts created, and system run time to gauge the performance.

**And here's the magic equation:**

{% hint style="success" %}

### OEE = Performance x Availability x Quality. <a href="#el_1701686734310_369" id="el_1701686734310_369"></a>

{% endhint %}

The fun doesn't stop there! You can seamlessly share this OEE data with 3rd party applications via MQTT, SQL, API, SAP, and more. 🔄

Imagine a device that effortlessly connects with over **100 data sources**. In the illustration below, witness real-time data flowing📈 from diverse PLCs through Modbus TCP/IP, OPC UA, S7 Comm., and MQTT, all converging into the Peakboard Box. 🌐✨\
\
Additionally, we send the processed data 🚀 to the **HiveMQ MQTT broker.**\
\
**No programming skills needed!** 🎨✨ You can mold your data effortlessly using the intuitive **Block editor 🧩 or Lua scripts** 📑. And the best part 😎😍? Your creations can easily journey to the cloud for analysis via **MQTT,** opening a realm of possibilities! 🌥️📊\
