Production dashboards and reporting

From the line-side screen to the management report, every view is fed by the same data. We work alongside existing SCADA and historian systems instead of ripping them out.

A good dashboard tells the viewer what to do next. For the line operator that is the active job, status against target and the reason for the last stop; for the shift supervisor, losses by line; for the plant manager, trends and Pareto charts. Showing everyone the same screen usually produces a screen no one looks at.

The reporting problem we meet most often is a spreadsheet an engineer rebuilds every morning: no report on weekends or holidays, formulas that drift, and no one sure which version is right. We build reports from the data model, with defined formulas and automatic distribution.

Many plants already run a SCADA or historian that works well. Rather than replace it, we read from it over OPC UA, its database or its own interfaces and combine it with MES, ERP and reporting. Working with Siemens, we built meter reading, invoicing and third-party integrations for the utility network SCADA project of an industrial zone in Türkiye.

What we deliver

Dashboards and Reporting

Line-side screens

Simple screens readable from a distance are designed for shop-floor TVs and operator panels: target, actual, state and last stop reason. Colors and alerts change only when someone needs to act.
Shift and management reports

OEE, output, scrap, downtime Pareto and energy reports by shift, day, week and month are generated automatically and distributed by email.
Alarms and notifications

Long stops, deviations from target or process limit breaches notify the right person. Rules are kept few and meaningful to avoid alarm fatigue.
SCADA and historian integration

Data from existing SCADA and historian systems is read over OPC UA, SQL or the system’s own interfaces. The existing investment is kept and data joins a single model.
Export and BI

Data can be exported on a schedule to corporate BI tools such as Power BI and to databases. Corporate reports then use the same defined KPIs.

How a project runs

From discovery to live, step by step

01
Users and decisions

For each role we identify which decisions are made with which data. Existing reports and SCADA screens are reviewed.
02
Connect data sources

Machine data, MES records and existing SCADA/historian data are combined in one data model.
03
Screen and report design

Screens and reports are refined with their users from draft to final; KPI definitions are written down.
04
Publish and iterate

Screens go live on the floor and reports go to distribution lists. Early user feedback drives adjustments.

Built on Proxus

Dashboards, reports and alarms run on Proxus dashboards and its historian. Existing SCADA and historian systems are read through Proxus drivers and joined in the same Unified Namespace.

Proxus is the industrial data platform built by the VOLSOFT team.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

What is a production monitoring system?

A production monitoring system shows and reports live machine state, output and downtime on screens and in reports. Data is collected automatically from machines and used on line-side displays and management reports. It is the monitoring and reporting side of an MES.

Do we need to replace our SCADA?

No. Existing SCADA or historian systems are read over OPC UA, their database or their own interfaces and combined with other data. SCADA keeps controlling the process; plant-wide visibility and reporting are added on top.

What do SCADA integration services include?

SCADA integration services typically cover reading tags and alarms from the SCADA, mapping them into a common data model, and connecting them to MES, ERP, historians or BI. They may also include meter reading and third-party system interfaces, as in utility networks.

Can reports feed Power BI?

Yes. Data is exported on a schedule to a database or service that Power BI and similar tools can read. What matters is that corporate reports use the same defined KPI calculations.
