LAKE FOREST, Calif., April 6, 2009 — Wonderware, a business unit of Invensys, today announced the addition of Wonderware HMI Reports to its offering of operations management software solutions. Wonderware HMI Reports is a simple reporting solution for use with Wonderware InTouch HMI and other plant and industrial data sources.
“Wonderware HMI Reports is a perfect complementary product to Wonderware InTouch HMI,” said Gary Nelson, Wonderware product marketing manager. “In today’s ‘do more with less’ world, our customers need to be able to take substantially less time and effort to create accurate and visually appealing reports. HMI Reports allows them to do this without programming skills or IT expertise.”
Wonderware HMI Reports enables customers to transform raw data from multiple data sources into usable information with custom reporting capabilities that can be created easily, quickly and inexpensively. The resulting reports can be made available to anyone, anywhere, anytime via e-mail, printed copies or a Web portal.
Wonderware HMI Reports significantly reduces report development time and simplifies report modifications by using simple integration tools for accessing data from InTouch, Wonderware Historian and other vendor HMI applications, as well as other data sourcing programs that support OPC, OLE DB and ODBC standards. As an intuitive and easy-to-use reporting solution requiring no IT or programming skills, HMI Reports can be configured through simple interfaces, menus, intelligent report objects and user-friendly dialog boxes.
HMI Reports also offers enhanced security and report generation features. The software provides integrated security measures that make it is easy to define who can access reports and who can create, modify or generate reports. These can be customized on a per-report basis to further enhance overall data security.
In addition, HMI Reports provides a user-friendly object library for data extraction of statistics, offers customizable report designs, and enables the user to view data in multiple formats such as tables, bars, pie charts and graphs. The software also features an intuitive graphical editor enabling reports to be created and saved as templates for future use.
