Dashboard and widget
The dashboard and widget structure forms the visualization layer of the platform, allowing telemetry data to be monitored and managed centrally by users.
Data coming from tags, telemetry, and virtual tag structures can be visually presented through charts, tables, cards, maps, and SCADA components.
Through the dashboard system, users can monitor, analyze, and manage operational processes from a single centralized interface.
Dashboards visualize data, while widgets form the core building blocks of that visualization.
What is a dashboard?
A dashboard is a centralized visualization area where platform data is organized and presented to users through visual components.
Users can combine data from different devices, systems, or virtual tag structures within the same dashboard and monitor operational processes from a single interface.
Dashboard structures are actively used for real-time monitoring, alarm management, performance analysis, and historical data review.
The platform supports customized dashboard structures for different operational scenarios. SCADA systems, process management, energy monitoring, and field operations can all be centrally monitored through configurable dashboard interfaces.

- Centralized monitoring → Data coming from different devices and systems can be monitored from a single dashboard.
- Real-time data flow → Telemetry data can be updated instantly within dashboard components.
- Operational management → Alarm, performance, and system status information can be displayed on the same screen.
- Flexible layout structure → Widget components can be rearranged using drag-and-drop functionality.
- Role-based usage → Different users can create dashboards tailored to their own operational needs.
What is a widget?
A widget is an independent visualization component used inside a dashboard. Each widget connects to a specific data source and visually presents related telemetry information to the user.
Charts, indicator cards, tables, maps, alarm lists, and SCADA components are common examples of widget structures within the platform.
Users can customize widgets by changing data sources, colors, time ranges, alarm states, and visualization settings.
The platform includes different widget categories designed for various operational and visualization scenarios. During dashboard creation, users can select suitable widget components and build customized monitoring interfaces according to their needs.

Card-based widget examples used for KPI, telemetry, and series data visualizations
- Chart widgets → Visualize time-series telemetry data using line or bar charts.
- Indicator cards → Display live measurement values through large and readable card components.
- SCADA widgets → Provide visual monitoring of industrial system processes.
- Alarm widgets → Centrally display active alarms and warning states.
- Map widgets → Visualize devices and field systems based on geographical location.
How do dashboards and widgets work?
Tag and telemetry data arriving at the platform is connected to widget components. Widgets process this data and transform it into visual elements displayed on dashboards.
Each dashboard can consist of different widget structures and can be customized according to operational needs, allowing multiple usage scenarios within the same platform.
- Telemetry data is collected from devices
- Data is organized through tags and virtual tags
- Widgets connect to related data sources
- Widgets transform telemetry into visual components
- Dashboards centrally present all widget structures to the user
Dashboard structures allow operational data to be analyzed and managed visually from a centralized interface.
Role within the platform
Dashboard and widget structures form the platform’s user interaction layer. System data becomes visible, analyzable, and manageable through these structures.
Data visualization → Telemetry data is presented visually through charts, tables, and card components.
Alarm management → Alarm conditions can be monitored centrally through dashboard structures.
Operational analysis → System performance and field behaviors can be analyzed through dashboard components.
Flexible user experience → Widget components can be customized and repositioned through drag-and-drop behavior.
Usage scenarios
Dashboard and widget structures are used for real-time operational monitoring across energy management, industrial automation, building management, and IoT infrastructures.
Solar monitoring dashboards → Inverter production data, panel performance, and field temperatures can be monitored through centralized dashboards.
Industrial SCADA screens → Process data coming from PLC and field devices can be monitored visually through SCADA widgets.
Energy consumption analysis → Voltage, current, power, and energy consumption values can be analyzed through chart and analytics widgets.
Building automation → HVAC, lighting, and environmental control systems can be centrally managed through dashboard structures.
Field and device maps → Devices and field systems can be monitored geographically through map widgets.
