FAQ
Short answers for plant and mechatronics eng/ops teams evaluating Data Board.
What is Data Board?
An engineering delivery + capacity workspace for teams that run many jobs in parallel — planning, ownership, status, and capacity in one place instead of scattered chats and sheets.
Built for industrial / plant / mechatronics contexts, not generic consumer task apps.
Who is it for?
Eng and ops teams roughly 10–80 people in machine building, automation, special machines, plant engineering, and similar — where “too many parallel jobs” is the default pain.
Is it free?
Data Board is a demo. New registrations are paused. There is nothing to buy on this site.
Do I need IT to start?
Usually no to look at the demo. Open View demo, add a small group, and run one active program.
Larger rollouts (SSO, procurement, data policies) can follow once the pilot proves value.
Where is the company based?
Based in Switzerland. We don’t claim “Swiss Made” for the software — that phrase is reserved for product-origin claims we don’t make.
How is this different from Jira / Excel / a whiteboard?
Those tools can track tasks. Plant eng teams still lose the capacity picture: who is overloaded, which parallel jobs collide, and whether you can commit to the next project.
Data Board is aimed at delivery and capacity for that world — not at replacing every issue tracker on day one.
Can we use it alongside our existing tools?
Yes. Many teams keep engineering tickets where they are and use Data Board as the capacity + program board so leadership and leads share one view.
Is our data safe?
Do not enter real or personal data. Demo data may be deleted at any time. For security / DPA questions, contact us via the site — we’ll answer plainly.
What’s on the roadmap?
Demo focus: make parallel-job delivery and capacity obvious for mid-size plant/mechatronics teams. Features follow real pilot feedback — not a giant waterfall roadmap slide.
How do I open the demo?
View demo. New registrations are paused. Please don’t enter real or personal data.
Who do I talk to?
Data Board team.
