ActiveFactory software eliminates lengthy data searches by accelerating process troubleshooting and plant improvement activities with a simple but powerful data trending tool. When a critical issue develops, the employee can quickly access data from numerous Wonderware Historian databases and build a data trend display using simple drag-and-drop techniques, to quickly and efficiently illuminate process problems.
New support for multiple time periods permits comparisons between real-time and historical data based on the same process parameters, so that current performance can be contrasted with previous occurrences of superior performance. Operators can also benefit from the new historical playback mode, in which historical data can be played as if it were live, helping operators to better visualize important relationships between operational parameters.
Furthermore, the ActiveFactory software's Trend capability enables plotting of any combination of analog, discrete and event data from any number of Wonderware Historians.
Comments and Annotations can also be included on the Trend display to add operational context and improve data analysis. A full range of scaling, zooming and graphical configuration options empower users to create highly informative, professional-looking trend displays that can be shared with co-workers via e-mail or over the Web using the ActiveFactory Reporting Website or Wonderware's Information Server.
