Recorded Webinars

Award-winning software solution for compliance and performance, reports and dashboards. Dream Report has become the industry standard and is continuing to gain in popularity. If you’re still using Microsoft Excel, SAP Crystal Reports or Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) for your automation related reports and KPI dashboards, then it’s time to explore Dream Report.

Dream Report is a simple reporting solution for AVEVA (and other) software users looking to build structured, routine reports e.g. Compliance Reporting, Scheduled Email Reports, Complex layouts out of the box working with Wonderware Products (Historian, InTouch, System Platform, Insight).

In this session you will learn:

• An Overview of the Dream Report Solution.
• How to connect and create a report from data stored in the AVEVA Historian.
• How to connect and create a report from data stored in a Classic InTouch Application’s .LGH History files.
• How to build an Alarm Report from the AVEVA Alarm database.

The AVEVA Insight Platform collects and stores data from virtually any kind of data source from PLCs to IOT devices.  AVEVA opens this data repository to the world via a comprehensive Application Programming Interface or API that allows “programmatic” storage, manipulation and retrieval of data for use within any other software application.

As we all move down the digitalization journey to implement our Industry 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing initiatives, the need to connect to a broader array of devices and systems is ever increasing. AVEVA has released some innovative communications drivers which allow our clients to connect to devices well beyond the traditional PLC devices.

Please join us for our Xperts on Tap session were we will explore these next generations communications drivers.

In 2020, a well-designed and operated Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a requirement for manufacturing leaders seeking competitive advantage. MES is no longer thought of as a single “solve” everything application solution like ERP. It’s modular, strategic and flexible.

Lower production and efficiencies due to the worldwide pandemic, lost knowledge due to the early retirement of senior employees, new safety and operating processes and procedures, reduced wrench time due to employee availability or skills, and increasing regulatory compliance are only a few of the issues companies are facing today. Many of our work routines have dramatically changed forever.

Join us as we walk through actual use cases to address day-to-day operations with the AVEVA Mobile Rounds Solution.

Many AVEVA applications interface with PLCs. Our goal is to minimize the engineering effort required to create your PLC, HMI and SCADA applications. Several cool tools are available which will automatically extract the Tags and Data Structures from your PLC programs and build the corresponding Tags and Objects in the AVEVA HMI and SCADA products.

Want to see how it works? Please join our Experts for this 30 minute webinar to examine 2 such scenarios.

The Control Room of 2020 is evolving and may look much different than what you have today.  AVEVA’s Unified Operations Center allows you to deploy an Integrated Command and Control Center to streamline manufacturing operations, minimize risk, and lower your total cost to operate.  Imagine having the tools to centrally visualize and manage every asset in your plant while simultaneously putting relevant data at the fingertips of your operators.  The perfect convergence of  IT (information technology) and OT (operations technology) worlds.   We’ll give you an overview of this new solution and a sneak peek of the future.

When Mennel Milling purchased a muffin plant from General Mills, they realized that they would not be able to maintain the custom LIMS and Downtime system the GM plant used to run production. They wanted a standard multi-plant approach and tighter integration with their new ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics. Stone Technologies worked with Mennel Milling to replace their inherited custom quality management and downtime systems and assisted Mennel Milling in creating a new LIMS using AVEVA’s Model-Driven MES, including Quality sampling, COAs (Certificate of Analysis) and Downtime tracking.

AVEVA Historian is a high-performance process database capable of storing huge volumes of data generated from today’s industrial facilities.  AVEVA Historian combines advanced data storage and compression techniques with an industry-standard query interface to ensure open access to your process, alarm, and event data.  It enables faster, more informed decisions while keeping your team fully informed on operational performance.

Imagine viewing your plant as a 3D model in real-time, monitoring performance and working problems right down to the equipment level, with access to not only SCADA process information, but also PLC logic, manual, P&ID drawings, past maintenance history all on a single application. That reality is happening today.

AVEVA Edge is a customizable HMI designed specifically for the embedded and OEM applications where a small footprint and cost effective price are paramount. The compact footprint and full feature set enable OEMs, machine builders and end users to create intuitive, secure, and highly maintainable HMI applications for any industry.
The compact footprint of the AVEVA Edge makes it the ideal HMI for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It can deploy and run on small panel PCs, embedded devices and machines and supports remote HMI access on smartphones and tablets without any client installations.

Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) is a set of communications protocols used between components in process automation systems. Its main use is in utilities such as electric and water companies. It was developed for communications between various types of data acquisition and control equipment. It plays a crucial role in SCADA systems, where it is used by SCADA Master Stations (a.k.a. Control Centers), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs).
