Dream Report's studio is an intuitive and easy-to-learn graphical editor that allows you to create impressive reports and dashboards, with the same user experience as building graphs in HMI/SCADA, which makes it attractive and convenient for automation, providing the results needed for any area of industry.
- Report generation and distribution
Dream Report can generate reports and dashboards manually and automatically. Automatic mode allows generation based on events and schedule. Generated reports can be automatically printed, emailed, stored and published anywhere, even on the web.
An important feature of Dream Report is the ability to control report generation from the Windows command line or from a dynamic URL (for external web applications).
This allows users to fully control report generation, including input of time periods, batch IDs, various input parameters for report generation. Generated reports can be opened automatically in Windows or in a web browser frame, which provides completely transparent management of reports from an external application.
What problems does it solve?
- Regulatory and compliance reporting: ci am report that must (from a regulatory point of view) categorically have to remain on the market: we are talking for example of the EPA reports (for water&wastewater – energy – chemicals – oil and gas), dei FDA reports (Pharma, Lifescience and F&B), of the rLEED and EPBD contributions in Building Automation. Dream Report does them all, and many more! And by automating them, Dream Report it reduces the time you are spending to generate reports, reducing it to the strictly necessary to review and approve them. Dream Report saves you time, reduces errors and allows you to focus on what really needs to be done, in whatever market you are.
- Automated reports and dashboards: If you spend 10 minutes a day analyzing data, then you're wasting a significant amount of time and money on a demanding job. And you're probably the only one to benefit from that analysis. A report with all your KPIs, automatically generated, delivered to all stakeholders, becomes the catalyst for continuous improvement. Now take that one report worth and spread it across the 10-15 (or more) reports of a typical Dream Report installation and you will have a payback in days or months. And when key exceptions are found in an automated report, specific users can automatically be notified. Don't settle for tools that make you work. Let Dream Report do the work for you.
- Data analytics when and where you need it
The compliance and performance reports and custom dashboards are great. But when there's a problem, you need the ad-hoc ability to drill down into your data, select tags, pan and zoom trends, export the results for further analysis, anytime, anywhere. Dream Report offers an anywhere access portal for these situations as well. Empower everyone in your workplace with direct access to information.
