Partnership results in reporting solution
November 1st 2007

Eurotherm, part of Invensys, is partnering Ocean data Systems to supply Dream Report software, an integrated reporting solution for industrial automation.

The software is designed to provide a simple means of extracting data from almost any data source. It is also capable of automatically generating reports at any location for whoever requests the information.

In a joint statement, Karen Rigby, marketing management at Eurotherm and Dominique Dias, executive manager at Ocean Data Systems, said "Dream Report software has been customised for Eurotherm to provide a specific communications layer to extract data from Eurotherm's graphic recorder devices.

"Existing drivers will also allow access via OPC to data within other Eurotherm products and so can provide key analysis and statistical data about automation devices and the processes they are managing. Most importantly, the output can be shared with everybody providing a highly effective, low cost solution." Based on a configurable end user interface, Dream Report software is a real time reporting generator solution that fits in both continuous and batch process applications throughout all the process industries. It combines five key functions demanded by industrial automation users: Data collection, data logging, data extraction and analysis, report design, and report generation and distribution.

Eurotherm says the partnership enables it to provide lower cost global solutions, particularly for smaller business customers.
