📊Data Visualization using Peakboard

This article presents an illustrative example showing OEE data from a simulated virtual factory on the Peakboard dashboard.

Creating dashboards feels like a serene meditation session!

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. 🏭✨

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:

OEE = Performance x Availability x Quality.

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

Video Example 2: Real-time Data visualization

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! 🌥️📊 ✅If you do not have a Peakboard box, don't worry, you can check their free Peakboard designer tool at 👉 https://peakboard.com
