Fictional example
Hall 1 · shift 2
Tuesday 22 September · 14:00 to 22:00 · crew BOnly the base is switched on. Switch on a module above; the overview fills itself.
In the hall now
- Line 1Running · 62 per min
- Line 2Running · 58 per min
- PackerStopped · 12 min
- OvenWarming up · 184 °C
Notifications
- Packer stopped · reason from controller: changeover
- Line 2 below target (5,100 of 6,000 expected)
- Sensor S4 fault, 22 min · operator: "cable loose"
- Line 2 uses 12% more per 1,000 units than line 1
- Collector connected · OPC UA 2 s · MQTT 5 s
Live status
Refreshed every 2 seconds · from the controllerLast 8 hours · units per hour
Note: motor temperature has been rising since 12:00. Alert threshold: 48 °C, set by the maintenance department.
The operator can add a comment to the reason from the controller on the screen in the hall. Nothing more: the dashboard does not control the machine.
This machine has no network connection; the controller writes a file every minute, which the collector reads.
Production

Counters come straight from the machine's controller. Nobody retypes a list at the end of the shift.

Whether planned downtime counts towards OEE depends on your own definition. You set that yourself.
- Error code
- E-204 · position sensor S4 no signal
- Operator
- "Cable shaken loose, reconnected"
- This quarter
- 3rd time on this sensor
Pattern: the same sensor also failed on 2 Sep and 14 Sep. Reason to have the maintenance department take a look.

OEE
Week 39 · availability × performance × qualityPer machine · this week
| Machine | A | P | Q | OEE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Line 1 | 90% | 94% | 99% | 84% |

| Packer | 79% | 89% | 98% | 69% |
| Oven | 86% | 92% | 99% | 78% |
Where it leaks: for the packer it is availability, so downtime, not speed or quality.

Energy
From the kWh meters per machine · todaykWh per 1,000 units
Line 2 uses 12% more per 1,000 units than line 1, for the same product. Together with the higher motor temperature, a reason for maintenance.

Consumption during downtime · today
Downtime costs energy too. That only becomes visible when status and meter are placed side by side.
Design principle: we connect to what the machine already offers, such as the controller (PLC) via OPC UA or Modbus, MQTT messages or an export file. The dashboard is designed to read only: it does not write to the controller and does not control any machines. The connection to the machine is set up securely for each situation.
