Industrial dashboards • Real-time KPIs • Clean integration

Industrial Dashboards & Reporting Systems

Real-time visibility for factories, plants, and operational teams. I build custom dashboards that turn production, downtime, quality, and maintenance data into clear, actionable insight. From PLCs to SQL databases to IoT devices — I connect your data and make it work for you.

Start small, prove value fast: 1 data source → key KPIs → working dashboard.

1 source • up to 6 KPIs • 1 dashboard page.

Remote delivery across South Africa — no onsite visit required.

The problem I solve

Are you still relying on slow, manual, or unreliable reporting? Most operational teams struggle with visibility because the data is scattered and hard to trust.

Data stuck everywhere

Machines, spreadsheets, and legacy systems that don’t talk to each other.

Reports take too long

Hours (or days) to compile the numbers — and the results are already outdated.

No real-time visibility

Downtime, scrap, and performance issues get noticed late — after money is lost.

Inconsistent KPIs

Different teams measure differently, so decisions are slow and arguments are common.

Old systems can’t keep up

Legacy tools that are hard to change, hard to maintain, and fragile under pressure.

Fix: reliable dashboards

I connect the data and build dashboards that show what’s happening — clearly — so you can act fast.

Industrial Dashboards Built for Real Operations

Dashboards tailored to your processes — designed for desktop, mobile, or TV screens on the factory floor.

Production performance

Shift/day performance vs target, line comparisons, trends, and bottleneck visibility.

Downtime tracking

Live downtime board, reason capture, Pareto charts, and repeat-issue detection.

Quality & scrap reporting

Scrap by reason, cost impact, yield, and quality KPIs that drive action.

Maintenance & machine health

MTTR/MTBF, backlog, response times, and simple condition monitoring when available.

Inventory & stock levels

Stock movement, reorder risk, stock-out alerts, and “what’s going missing?” visibility.

Energy usage

Energy trends, peak detection, cost monitoring, and efficiency opportunities.

Data Sources I Integrate Into Dashboards

Your data doesn’t need to be perfect — we can start with one source and expand safely.

Machines & automation

PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, etc.), SCADA/HMI systems, event and alarm sources.

Databases & legacy systems

SQL databases, Access, older Windows apps, and custom “business logic” stores.

Files, IoT & APIs

Excel/CSV, REST APIs, and IoT devices (Arduino/Raspberry Pi gateways and telemetry).

Dashboard Modules You Can Start With

Pick what fits your operation — we can start small and expand over time.

Shift production vs target

Live totals, pace indicators, and trends by line / machine / product.

Downtime Pareto

Top reasons, time lost, repeated causes, and “where to focus first”.

Daily summaries

Daily/weekly exports (PDF/Excel) with the KPIs management actually wants.

Maintenance backlog

Open jobs, age, response times, and practical “what’s overdue?” views.

Scrap by reason

Reason codes, cost impact, and quality hot-spots over time.

Factory TV view

Clean, readable dashboards for big screens in the plant or control room.

Dashboard Prototype — See Value in Days

A low-risk way to see what’s possible — using your real data.

Dashboard Prototype — R1,500

You get a small working dashboard that proves value fast. Typical scope includes:

• 1 data source connected (PLC/SQL/Excel/API)
• Up to 6 KPIs (the ones that matter most)
• 1 dashboard page (desktop/TV friendly)
• Short handover: what’s connected + recommended next steps

20+ years of industrial software

Reliable systems for operational environments, with real-world constraints in mind.

Integration is the specialty

PLCs/SCADA → databases → dashboards → exports/alerts — connected cleanly and safely.

More than dashboards (when needed)

Windows & Android apps, web portals, APIs, automation tools, and legacy modernisation to support reporting systems.

FAQ

Quick answers to common questions and objections.

Do you need onsite access?

No. Most work can be done remotely. We can start with one data source and expand from there.

What if our data is messy or inconsistent?

That’s normal. Part of the job is shaping data into consistent KPIs so teams stop arguing about numbers.

Will it work on a TV screen in the factory?

Yes. We can build a clean “TV view” that’s readable from a distance.

Can you integrate PLC data with SQL and reporting?

Yes — that’s a common pipeline: PLC/SCADA → SQL/database → dashboard + exports and alerts.

Is our data secure?

We use sensible access controls and least-privilege access (read-only where possible). NDA is available if required.

What happens after the prototype?

We refine and expand: more KPIs, more sources, alerts, exports, roles, and automation — based on what proves value.
