October 9, 2012 - InduSoft added Dream Reports from Ocean Data Systems to its Web Studio HMI/SCADA software. With seamless access to the Dream Report application, InduSoft users gain the ability to create sophisticated reports that include tables, bar charts, pie charts, screen shots and more. The option to integrate Dream Report into InduSoft Web Studio lets users easily access history data such as alarm history, trend history, OEE data and process data to generate a variety of reports in formats including but not limited to Microsoft Excel and Adobe PDF. Users can also automatically publish reports via a secure web portal on the Internet, or via an internal company intranet, using a built-in interface.
This integration solution enables users to browse reports, access entire report history, generate reports on demand, configure per-report user access, save reports locally, and print reports from a web client. In addition, Dream Report’s configurable end-user interface simplifies exporting files to professional databases, such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. By offering check-box configuration tools and other features, the need for programming or database development skills to communicate with database applications is eliminated. InduSoft Web Studio with Dream Report capabilities is a highly scalable solution that can grow from simple batch reporting for a single unit to reporting for the entire enterprise.
By combining report information from multiple databases into one consolidated site reporting system without duplicating the source data locally, enterprise reporting becomes much faster and more reliable. A native driver was developed by Ocean Data Systems for seamless communication with InduSoft Web. In addition, special licensing that contains only the InduSoft driver makes the Dream Report add-on a very affordable solution.
