Overview
Scoreboards let you display real-time machine performance across the plant floor, break room, shop floor, or even your office space. Any smart device with internet access can be used to show a Guidewheel scoreboard, helping your team stay aligned on performance and machine status.

Tips & Best Practices
Start with a simple scoreboard and expand as your team gets familiar with the views.
Test both performance-based and current status color modes to see which is most useful for operators.
Use segments if you want to combine devices from multiple plants or departments into one scoreboard.
Gather operator feedback on visibility and readability before finalizing tile size and layout.
