Real Time Production Dashboards for the Smart Factory
The problems holding production back
The data problems we see most often on the shop floor, and why they persist without the right foundation underneath them.
Each of these traces back to the same root cause: production data that never reaches a live screen.
There Is No Single Screen for Live Production
Line supervisors stitch together SCADA terminals, paper logs, and end of shift spreadsheets to answer one question: are we hitting target right now? Without a real time production dashboard, the answer always lands an hour too late to do anything about it.
OEE Is Calculated, Not Watched
Availability, performance, and quality get reconciled days after the run. By the time an OEE report reaches an inbox, the micro stops, slow cycles, and scrap that dragged the number down are gone and nearly impossible to trace back to a cause.
OT Data Never Reaches the People Who Need It
PLCs, SCADA, and your MES generate the richest signal in the plant, yet it stays trapped on the floor. Integration stalls on protocols, latency, and security, so the analytics stack runs on stale extracts instead of live machine telemetry.

Targeted builds around your plant's integration surface, OT security, and scale, not generic data platform templates.
A Real Time Production Dashboard Your Floor Actually Uses
We build a production monitoring dashboard on top of your existing signals: live output against takt, downtime by reason code, and active alerts on one screen. Operators catch a problem forming in seconds instead of reading about it in tomorrow's report.
OEE Dashboards Down to the Asset
Availability, performance, and quality calculated continuously and split by line, cell, and machine. Shop floor visibility becomes the default, so the team can see exactly where a point of OEE is leaking and recover it on the same shift.
MES Integration Without Rip and Replace
As a manufacturing dashboard development company, we wire SCADA, PLC, and MES together through purpose built connectors and streaming pipelines. Your existing manufacturing software development stays in place; we wrap it, stream it, and put it on screen.
Why a real time dashboard beats the spreadsheet
Most plants still run production reporting from spreadsheets. Here is what changes the day a real time production dashboard goes live.
One dashboard, every role on the floor
Production monitoring that gives each team the view they need, from the line supervisor to the operations director.
Plant Manager
A live, plant wide view of output, downtime, and OEE across every line, so daily targets are managed in the moment instead of reconstructed after the fact.
- Output vs target by line and shift
- OEE trend and Pareto of losses
- Side by side line comparison
Production Supervisor
Real time line performance with andon style alerts the instant a station falls behind takt, turning a quiet drift into an immediate prompt to act.
- Live takt and cycle time
- Reason coded downtime capture
- Shift handover summaries
Maintenance Lead
Condition signals and downtime patterns that move maintenance from a fixed calendar to a predictive, evidence based schedule.
- MTTR and MTBF tracking
- Early anomaly alerts
- Top failure modes by asset
Quality Engineer
Continuous quality monitoring that surfaces out of spec trends before defective units move downstream and become scrap.
- First pass yield and scrap rate
- SPC trend alerts
- Defect Pareto by line
Operations Director
Executive rollups that connect floor performance to cost, throughput, and on time delivery across one plant or many.
- Plant and multi site KPIs
- Throughput and asset utilization
- Drill down from KPI to machine
IT / OT Lead
A governed pipeline from the floor to the cloud, with the security, latency, and reliability your team needs to sign off.
- OPC UA and MQTT integration
- 99.95% pipeline uptime
- Role based access and audit trails
We integrate with the systems your plant already runs
MES integration is the heart of the work. We connect to your controllers, historians, and software through open protocols, then stream it all into one live view.

Why Brilliqs
What makes us different for manufacturing
Plenty of firms can stand up a data warehouse. Fewer understand the controllers, OT networks, and MES realities that decide whether a production dashboard ever earns the operator's trust.
Talk to a SpecialistOT and IT expertise under one roof
We speak PLC, SCADA, and MES as fluently as Kafka, Databricks, and Power BI. The integration layer that usually stalls a dashboard project is exactly where we start.
Integration first, never rip and replace
Your equipment and MES stay in place. We wrap, stream, and surface the data you already generate, so the line keeps running while visibility comes online.
Measured in OEE points and downtime hours
Success is a lower downtime number and a higher OEE, not an uptime percentage. Every engagement ties back to the metrics your plant review actually tracks.
Our Delivery Approach
Four phases, each with clear outcomes, stakeholder touchpoints, and documented handovers.
Assess
We audit your data sources across PLCs, SCADA, historians, and MES, map integration points, and agree the OEE and downtime metrics that matter before any code is written.
Architect
We design the streaming pipeline and dashboard around your stack, network, and OT security constraints. No one size fits all blueprints, no over engineered abstractions.
Build
We deliver iteratively, connector by connector and line by line, with continuous testing, stakeholder reviews, and documented handovers at every milestone.
Operate
We hand over with full runbooks, training, and flexible support so your team owns the real time production dashboard we build together.
