Lödige Dashboard: New System for Machine Data Visualization
Gebrüder Lödige Maschinenbau has developed the Lödige Dashboard for browser-based visualization and analysis of machine and process data. The system can also be retrofitted to existing equipment.
Transparent process analysis in real time
The Lödige Dashboard expands machine control systems with analysis and information functions. It provides real-time and historical visualization of process data, maintenance tools to increase plant availability, and fast access to machine documentation. Customisable displays support trend recognition and recipe development.
Local data storage for enhanced cyber security
Data capture, processing, and storage take place locally on an industrial PC in the control cabinet without cloud connectivity, protecting operational data from cyber threats. By default, data is stored for 365 days, with optional external access via VPN.
Straightforward retrofitting for existing machinery
The dashboard can be integrated into new plants or retrofitted to existing equipment. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) connect directly, while conventional controls use an additional communication module. An OPC UA interface enables communication with third-party systems.
