Many IOT applications are very large and advanced scalability is the norm. Other applications just need to benefit from additional internet based data sources and sensors. The second category is where Dream Report can be an excellent fit, in combination with your existing HMI/SCADA/Historian automation systems.
Dream Report is continually improving. Version 5 adds even more functionality to Dream Report, enabling it as an Internet of Things (IOT) solution.
