HEKA vs Peakboard OEE Software

HEKA is a web-based modular Manufacturing Operating System with MES capabilities for manufacturers. It links standard work, production execution, performance management and continuous improvement in one system. Teams create browser-based work instructions containing photos, tools, parts, specifications and PPE. They can record station work, divide recordings into steps, annotate them and publish controlled instructions. Revisions are versioned, reviewed and approved with a signed audit trail. The same instruction source can publish to operator stations or A4 sheets, supporting paper, hybrid and fully digital operations. HEKA connects approved methods, production bills of materials, work orders and operator instructions. It tracks availability, performance and quality by process, line and shift, relating downtime and defects to work context. Improvement tools include 5S audits, Kaizen actions and follow-up that can move verified improvements into updated standards. Pricing is on request, scoped to the operation and pilot rather than sold per seat.

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.
