Asprova APS vs Peakboard OEE Software

Asprova APS creates production schedules for factories and manufacturers, integrating sales, manufacturing, inventory, and purchasing plans across multiple items and processes. Its synchronized planning and capacity tools use standard times down to the second and can account for individual machines, molds, and personnel. Planners can create multiple scenarios, adjust parts of an existing plan manually, and reschedule. Charts and graphs show line overloads, delivery delays, and load differences by day, week, or month. Asprova connects to relational database tables and CSV files; users can configure mappings and differential imports and exports. The maker says it can integrate with most ERP, production management, MES, shop floor control, and legacy systems. Optional modules include Sales, Purchasing, KPI, Time Constraint MAX, Resource Lock, Event, and Optimization. The product is paid, with pricing on request; implementation, training, consultation, and integration may add costs. A trial edition can be used with e-learning exercises, but no trial duration is stated. It is self-hosted Windows software. The maker says a maintenance contract is required to upgrade Asprova.

Peakboard OEE Software records machine run times, unit counts and scrap, then continuously calculates availability, performance and quality. It assigns reasons to losses and keeps OEE values for comparisons across shifts and periods. Operators can enter downtime and its cause by touch when a machine has no interface. Machine data can come through OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT or Modbus; target values, orders and inspection results can come from SAP, MES or a SQL database. Ready-made OEE applications can be customized with drag-and-drop tools or Peakbot without code. They run inside the customer network on a Peakboard Box or existing Windows hardware, without middleware. OEE values can also be stored with timestamps in Peakboard Hub for comparing shifts, lines and periods. Peakboard lists a free plan and a 180-day trial, with paid plans from €49/mo (annual). The Peakboard Box supports one monitor over HDMI, and splitting a visualization across multiple monitors is not intended.
