Obeya Control Tower™
Aggregate separate information for integrated company-wide continuous improvement
faster issue detection
cut in decision latency
Bi-directional integration with your existing application landscape
Unify and visualize the information in your application landscape into iObeya and bi-directional integration. API and embedded reports keep your Obeya connected, so with the full picture leaders can act faster.
Automated threshold-based alerts and notifications speed up decision making
Define limits for each metric and watch the Obeya Control Tower. When OEE dips or scrap spikes, the system flags the indicator in red. Escalation and consolidation paths route the deviation to the next tier automatically, shrinking ‘deviation-to-action’ from days to minutes.
Contextual dashboards for better decisions
Turn data into action with contextual dashboards. By surfacing the right insights in the right context at the right time, leaders cut through noise and make faster, better decisions across the organization.
Pain points iObeya solves:
Say goodbye to data overload & report fatigue
We waste hours preparing reports that are already outdated when meetings start.”
iObeya connects directly to your data sources (like MES, ERP, or Excel) updating boards in real time. Your meetings are now focused on making decisions, not chasing numbers.
We need visual performance management; but our data lives in silos.”
iObeya breaks down silos by integrating data into one connected visual layer, so performance is visible, shared, and actionable across functions. These insights allow you to drive outcomes.
Our control tower dashboards are beautiful, but static and disconnected from the work.”
iObeya turns dashboards into action boards, linking live data to owners, actions, and workflows so insights drive real decisions in real time.
Real-time visibility for Lean 4.0 Operations
Sanofi integrated iObeya into its global manufacturing system to digitize SQDCP boards and empower teams with real-time data. The result: faster decision making, stronger problem solving, and measurable productivity gains across dozens of sites.
Connected decision loops
Digital boards share information instantly between teams and management, ensuring quick escalation and resolution of issues.
Lean embedded in daily work
Operators use iObeya every day to visualize KPIs, follow progress, and apply the Sanofi Manufacturing System standards consistently across plants.

FAQ – everything you need to know
Clear answers to your questions
See how Obeya Control Tower transforms scattered data into real-time insights that cut decision latency and drive ownership.
How can we integrate iObeya with our existing MES, ERP, or data systems?
iObeya offers a secure, open REST API that allows you to push or pull structured data from any source: MES, ERP, Excel, SQL, BI tools, or custom systems. You can update KPIs, sync actions, or build fully customized control towers that reflect your operations.
Can we build a real-time control tower using iObeya?
Yes, and many of our manufacturing customers already have.
iObeya connects real-time production data to visual workflows, so you don’t just monitor, you act. Instead of static dashboards, you get iObeya rooms where KPIs trigger actions, escalations flow between levels, and teams respond in real time.
What kind of data can we visualize on iObeya boards?
If your data can be structured, iObeya can visualize it.
Common examples include:
- Downtime tracking and OEE from MES
- Quality metrics and NC trends from ERP or LIMS
- Daily production KPIs from Excel or SQL
- CI project status, audit findings, safety alerts, and more
All data can be displayed alongside visual elements like sticky notes, A3s, or action boards with ownership and escalation path built in.
Do we need a developer to integrate our systems with iObeya?
For full API usage: yes, a developer or integration specialist is typically involved.
However, iObeya also supports low-code options, including:
- Excel-based KPI updates
- Web embeds for dashboards (e.g., PowerBi, Tableau, etc.)
- Web content integration
These let teams get started quickly while planning deeper integrations.
Can iObeya trigger actions or alerts based on live data?
Yes. Through API endpoints and event-based logic, you can configure boards to trigger actions, alerts, or escalation workflows when data exceeds thresholds, stalls, or meets conditions enabling closed-loop decision-making in real time.
