Optimizing Shopfloor Data with Paul Sudar from Peakboard Americas

In the first episode of the DigitalituM Podcast, I’m excited to welcome Paul Sudar from Peakboard Americas as our guest. Paul is a Senior Software Consultant at Peakboard and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Business Management from the Cooperative State University of Baden-Württemberg. Like me, Paul is also from Germany, and it’s great to have him here with us today.

Peakboard is a technology partner of DigitalituM that specializes in visualizing and dashboarding machine data on the shop floor. With hundreds of predefined interfaces to various standard PLCs and ERP systems, Peakboard integrates seamlessly into existing data structures. Additionally, the solution offers numerous pre-built visualization templates that can be easily customized to meet individual needs.

The free Peakboard Designer tool allows users to quickly start their first project without any barriers. Best of all, the entire solution runs on a cost-effective subscription model.

A recent example of Peakboard in action is its integration into a manual assembly line for medical devices. In this case, a traditional whiteboard was replaced with an interactive Peakboard solution that visualizes production and quality data in real-time.

Manufacturing has its challenges! Digital Transformation has its challenges! 

Welcome to the DigitalituM Podcast, where we delve into the intersection of manufacturing and digital transformation. 

Manufacturing, a cornerstone of our global economy, faces various challenges—from optimizing production processes to ensuring quality control and maintaining a skilled workforce. In parallel, the digital transformation journey presents its own set of hurdles. Integrating new technologies, managing data, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement are just a few of the obstacles companies encounter.

In this biweekly podcast, we’ll discuss these problems and, more importantly, the solutions making a real difference on the shop floor. We’ll dive into how cutting-edge digital technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are being leveraged to address specific use cases. Whether it’s enhancing training programs, improving machine maintenance, or optimizing production workflows, these technologies pave the way for smarter, more efficient manufacturing operations.

In the DigitalituM Podcast, we introduce you to some of the industry’s leading voices and peers at the forefront of this digital revolution. They’ll share their insights, experiences, and the transformative impact of digital tools in their respective fields.

So, please sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the intersection of manufacturing and digital transformation.

Why Earning a Certified Maintenance Manager (CMM) Certification is Crucial

Through my volunteer work with the Reliability Leadership Foundation and their Digitalization Consortium for Reliability and Asset Management, I have earned the necessary Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to renew my Certified Maintenance Manager (CMM) certification. This certification is accredited by the Association of Asset Management Professionals and is highly beneficial if you are in the maintenance business for a manufacturer or on the field service side for a machine builder, OEM, or system integrator.

I highly recommend this certification as it not only validates your expertise but also sharpens your skills in digital transformation of maintenance processes. Engaging with the Reliability Leadership Foundation and the Consortium provides an excellent platform to stay updated on the latest trends and advancements in digitalization for reliability and asset management.

Additionally, I would like to highlight that at DigitalituM, we offer digital tools in AR/VR and IoT to make maintenance tasks more accessible and provide you with the information you need right at the location!
