The dashboard icon in My Plant displays the number of dashboards.

Version V1.14¶

Creating a new variable for saving KPI values directly in Energy Manager¶

If you save KPI values retentively, you can create a variable for this directly in Energy Manager.

Energy media analysis¶

"Month" can now also be selected as calculation period for the energy media analysis.

Version V1.13¶

Ad hoc report¶

Generate a report at any time based on an existing configuration, even for a past period.

More options with user-defined time periods¶

For a user-defined time period, you can now set the offset exactly to the minute.

Visualization of 3 parameters as a three-dimensional bar chart

When you create a widget, a preview is displayed so that you can further adapt the widget while you are creating it.

A new statistical analysis is available. The view visualizes in which areas the values of a parameter are predominantly located.

Additional display languages¶

French and Italian are now available as display languages under "Settings" > "User Information".

Version V1.6¶

Continuous improvement of the user interface¶

The navigation has been simplified so that you can display the analyses that are relevant for you faster.

Exporting and importing dashboards¶

User-defined dashboards can be exported and imported in another environment. In this manner, visualizations once created can be used elsewhere without too much effort.

Exporting and importing status mappings¶

Status mappings can be exported and imported into another environment.

Selection of the displayed period¶

Selection of the period displayed for graphical depictions is now more intuitive and clearer in structure.

Version V1.5¶

More user-friendly user interface¶

The user interface has been newly designed to help users quickly and accurately see the data that is relevant to them. Navigation and access possibilities have been improved and are more intuitive.
The user can select a color scheme to display the app.

Display of multiple values¶

The "Value" widget can be set up to display multiple values.

"Table" view¶

The "Table" view is available as a further view in the detail view of widgets.

Batch analysis¶

An automatically generated dashboard is available to contextualize and compare batches, products and selected parameters. Produced batches can be compared and evaluated.

Mark dashboards as favorite¶

Dashboards can be marked as favorites. Favorite dashboards are placed prominently in overviews so that users can access the analyses that are relevant to them without detours.

Integrating Data Service into the IIH¶

After the integration of the Data Service into the IIH, the Data Service can no longer be used independently, but is part of the IIH. The integration can no longer be undone.

Version V1.4¶

Multivariable regression¶

With multivariable regression, a parameter (KPIs or variables) is placed in context with other parameters and mapped as a linear regression model. In this way, the value of the output parameter can be determined using the input parameters and the regression model. (Model result) example: The energy consumption of a plant is affected by certain influencing factors such as ambient temperature, the quantity produced and the quantity filled. The theoretical energy consumption can be determined if the regression model and the input variables are known. This can serve as a basis for the actual energy consumption. In addition to the model, qualitative parameters are also output, which determine the quality of the model. It may be that input variables are used which have no relation to the output variable. In this case, the correlation coefficient is 0. This means that the model is not trustworthy.
Different models can be calculated and saved per asset and per parameter. The saved models are available to the user in an automatically generated dashboard, where the result of the model is compared to the actual value. In order to better recognize the deviation, the deviation and is also displayed in addition to the model result and the actual measured values.
After the KPIs for the model result and the deviation are created for each model, a limit value can be defined via the standard functionality, at which the user receives a notification via the notifier.

Creating reports¶

The "Create reports" functionality allows the user to create reports from the asset configuration, which can be automatically sent to one or more users in Excel format. Each report has its own Excel report template, which allows the user to determine the layout individually. Charts, logos or Excel formulas can be easily added.
In addition to a name, the user can also define the reporting period. In addition, the user can define ranges. Ranges are blocks of information for which the user can define which parameters (KPIs or variables) should be displayed. In addition, the user can define for the range whether a KPI result should be displayed for the entire reporting period, or whether the KPI should be calculated and displayed in a shorter cycle.

String and Bool values in single value widgets¶

String and Bool values can be displayed in single value widgets.

Version V1.3¶

User-defined time periods¶

Users can define their own time periods under "Time periods" in the configuration area.
Examples:
- A day that starts at 06:00 and ends at 06:00 of the next day.
- A shift that starts at 06:00 and is defined with a duration of 8 hours These time periods can be used in the dashboard in the same way as the pre-defined time periods.

Representation of the aggregated time range¶

In the chart, the aggregated value is now displayed in the middle of the time range and no longer at the end of the period. The from-to time range is displayed in the tooltip.

Zoom functions in widgets¶

Extension of the zoom function in the chart widget or in the detail view of all widgets. The user can zoom in and out incrementally.

Copying widgets¶

Widgets can now be copied.

CSV export¶

A CSV export of the data can be performed directly from the widget.

Administrator rights for subtenant users¶

Administrator rights are now supported for subtenant users to configure KPI instances and dashboards.

Version V1.2¶

Quality code flag not equal to "OK"¶

Data (time series) with a quality code flag not equal to "OK" are not considered in the display or in the KPI calculation.

Extended Gantt chart¶

An extended Gantt chart with zoom function is available.
