In this blog, we’ve discussed a few different ways to integrate sensors into a Peakboard application. You can see an overview of these articles in The hitchhiker’s guide to I/O devices.
Since its official release in 2022, Peakboard Hub has become more and more popular among customers. Initially, it was only designed to be an administration interface for environments with 20+ boxes. Since then, many more functions have been added, and there’s also a SaaS offering for customers who don’t want...
The German company Bosch offers an innovative camera called FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR - 8MP. Not only is it a normal security camera, but it also comes with a couple of interesting AI features for monitoring public spaces. The camera can detect objects that are in its view. For example,...
Since the official release of Peakboard BYOD in 2023, more and more Peakboard users have installed the BYOD runtime on their own devices. This is especially popular in environments with special requirements for screens—for example, in food production or in extreme heat or dirt. Some of the screens commonly seen...
In part one and part two of our ProGlove mini-series, we discussed the basics of integrating ProGlove scanners into Peakboard applications. We used both the USB and MQTT modes to get the scan event and related metadata. We also discussed options to send feedback to the scanner operator, such as...
In the past few weeks, we’ve discussed two I/O modules provided by ICP DAS: the ET-2254 and the U-7560M. In this article, we’ll take a look at the Advantech WISE-4012. This module provides a network connection via Wi-Fi. It offers two digital-only outputs and four analog/digital inputs. We will look...
Peakboard applications are often used in paperless environments. But what if a piece of paper is necessary to identify a pallet, a package, or a warehouse bin? One answer is to use a paperless e-ink display. In this article, you will learn how to transfer data from a Peakboard app...
Building a Peakboard application is easy and straightforward. But usually, as the scope increases, people from different parts of the company start getting involved—different departments and geographical locations. In this case, there are some best practices and patterns for enterprise to consider. In this article, we’ll discuss how to build...
A safety cross is one of the most common methods for visualizing safety in lean manufacturing. The cross typically consists of 31 rectangles, which represent the 31 days in a month. Each day, the corresponding rectangle is colored in, according to what happened: Green - No accident Orange - Light...
In this blog, we’ve explained how to connect various devices to Peakboard, and build beautiful applications. One family of devices is I/O devices. These are used to connect any kind of sensor, like light barriers, buttons, and temperature sensors. On the output side, we often see actors like traffic lights...
A long time ago, we discussed how to use Power BI maps in Peakboard applications. In this article, we will discuss another aspect of Power BI integration: Filters. Peakboard users have been able to set dynamic filters since Q3 2024. Requirements and prerequisites The Power BI sheet we’re using is...
In the first part of our ProGlove miniseries, we discussed the basics of integrating ProGlove scanners into Peakboard applications. We used both the USB and MQTT modes to get the scan event, along with some metadata. In the third part of the series we will build a full blown use...
