Peeking into the new features of Basic Reporter 2.5 Service Update 1



The first service update for AVReporter 2.5 is on the way to hit the market. Basic Reporter and Business Intelligence modules will receive significant feature upgrades. In this post I will let you take a peek into the improvements of Basic Reporter 2.5 SU1. The module is currently in the testing phase, and release is expected within a few months.

Features:
 - Users are able to add customized time intervals into the application, by modifying the appropriate lines within the configuration files of the software. Let's see an example: for a specific reason your company needs consumption information each week for the last 2 weeks, and also reading expected consumption values for the upcoming week, and you wish to display it inside 1 report. With the new version it is now possible!


- Time of Use chart: Users are able to specify consumption/demand peak-values for weekdays, and weekends accordingly. When the demand is higher in that period, the chart will display those values with different colors. It is also possible to configure special days, for example national holidays inside the diagrams to use different values.


- The software is capable of displaying gridlines for the line-charts, aiding users to read values more accurately.


- New function to filter for devices in the device list. Simply type the word you are looking for, and all the devices containing the word will be selected. Creating an Active Energy report on all the measurement devices should be a much faster process now, for example.


- Enable-disable function was added in the window of device renaming. It makes possible to hide the desired quantities from the report.

Will COVID-19 accelerate the shift to Industry 4.0?

The current global health crisis is also a business and economic crisis and will change the way we work, with a greater focus on technology. That's according to Nigel Green, CEO of financial advisory firm deVere Group, who says that a recession triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to a "fundamental shift" in how we live, do business and invest. In particular, Green expects to see an acceleration in the adoption and development of Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, reports technology and business news provider Verdict. "The coronavirus outbreak can be expected to speed up the so-called fourth revolution, which is fuelled by new technologies such as artificial intelligence and mobile supercomputing," he said. The physical distancing and self-isolation measures currently in place around the world are likely to help reinforce the adoption of digital technologies, Green added. "Enforced social distancing will highligh

Manufacturers turn to automation and smart tech as coronavirus hits production

Image
The coronavirus pandemic is likely to hasten the rollout of automation and smart technology in the manufacturing industry. Government rules aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19 have kept employees at home and disrupted supply chains. As a result, manufacturers around the world have been forced to chose their factories and radically rethink how they operate.   In a recent article for CNBC.com, Rebecca Fannin looked at how the virus has impacted manufacturers based in China, the first country to be hit by the virus. The biggest impact was seen in sectors with large assembly operations such as auto manufacturers and electronic component makers. Resuming production "has been a struggle" at many factories, but highly automated plants such as Cadillac's new Shanghai facility had a head start, Fannin explained.  The Cadillac factory, opened in 2016, has 386 robots and two fully automated production lines that do welding and painting.   One clear, long-term imp

Crisis presents opportunity for manufacturers to reassess their digitalisation

Image
A crisis is a defining moment, and it can take a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic for people -- and companies -- to find the courage to make significant changes to the way they do things. In the manufacturing industry, the pandemic represents an opportunity for firms to reassess their digital strategy, writes Paul Hogendoorn in an article for Manufacturing Automation. The current crisis is of sufficient magnitude that the trajectories of many businesses will be altered, Hogendoorn explains. How they fare will be to a large extent affected by the decisions and choices they make. Hogendoorn goes on to discuss the three most common conversations he had with manufacturers before the pandemic struck: - the challenge of digitising their work flow; - gaining visibility into their production condition in real time; and - the need to make their factories and jobs more attractive to a younger work force. When it comes to attracting the next generation into manufacturing, we need t
