Peakboard BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a real game changer for anyone who works with Peakboard - or would like to do so in the future. For the first time, it is possible to utilise the full power of the Peakboard solution on your own hardware - flexibly, scalably and without any restrictions. Peakboard BYOD thus breaks with the previous paradigm that every visualisation has to run on a dedicated Peakboard box. Instead, companies can use their existing infrastructure - whether industrial PCs, virtual machines or panel PCs directly on the machine - and run the same dashboards there as on a box. This means maximum freedom: anyone already using their own hardware setup or relying on virtualisation saves additional investment in hardware. At the same time, everything that characterises Peakboard is retained: Real-time visualisation, interactivity, low-code dashboard design, flexible data connection and robust, decentralised operation. BYOD is not just an alternative to the Peakboard Box - it is the perfect complement for larger rollouts, for projects with special hardware requirements or for companies that prefer centralised management and automated deployment. Any customer who wants to drive forward their digitalisation quickly, flexibly and efficiently should consider Peakboard BYOD. It lowers the barrier to entry and increases scalability - with full control and proven Peakboard quality. It is the next logical step in the evolution of Peakboard - and the fastest way to take shopfloor digitalisation to the next level.
