The digital white boards can be placed in highly-frequented rooms such as the break room or the cafeteria. The digital whiteboard is also useful if most employees stay in the home office, since they can be accessed from everywhere. With the Welcome Board visitors, customers and new employees can be welcomed in the company. Centrally located in the entry area a big screen is a great eyecatcher an portrays a modern image of the company.

With andon and workflow boards as well as machine monitoring the production boards offer the user a great opportunity to survey all things happening in the production. With color coded tiles it is easy to see if something is not working right, such as a machine running slower or not enough manufactured products to fulfill all orders. With production dashboards the whole workflow can be streamlined and optimized.

Management dashboards are mostly used in meetings or for presentations to show the current company data in a clear and modern way. This way the users are able to keep an overview over sales numbers or other important data from the company’s turnover. It enables all users to see the data which is relevant for them.
