Real-Time Factory Dashboard

A professional, high-performance WPF desktop application designed to visualize factory machine telemetry data in real-time. Built entirely on .NET 10, featuring hardware-accelerated charting via LiveCharts2 (SkiaSharp) and a robust MVVM architecture using the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.

🚀 Key Features

• Real-Time Data Streaming: Simulates a live data ingest from factory sensors with asynchronous IAsyncEnumerable<T> streaming.
• Hardware-Accelerated Charts: Utilizes SkiaSharp (via LiveCharts2) for flawless, 60FPS 30-second sliding window animations without locking the UI thread.
• Precision Custom UI: Features a pixel-perfect, mathematically computed WPF angular gauge drawn with primitive <Path> arcs and <RotateTransform> animations for ultimate visual fidelity.
• Modern Architecture: Built on modern C# 14, strictly separating UI from logic with the MVVM pattern and Microsoft Dependency Injection container.
• Production-Ready: Includes a robust CancellationToken based fire-and-forget toggle for instant UI feedback, and global crash handlers with UTC-timestamped local logging.
