Automate Reports

RF10 supports both standard reports using fixed templates and custom reports with customizable layouts. Based on data collected from recorders and data loggers, it automatically generates daily, weekly, monthly, and batch reports in print, PDF, or Excel formats. RF10 can also generate reports by combining recorded data with production information from PLCs, significantly improving reporting efficiency while reducing manual effort.

Automate Reports

 

Generate Standard Reports

Standard reports use a fixed layout based on the print format of Universal Viewer, the standard software for Yokogawa recorders. Reports can be generated easily without the need to create templates, making them ideal for quickly reviewing trend waveforms and recorded data.

Users can select from the following four output triggers to meet their operational requirements.

  • Immediate: 
    Generates a report immediately after a new data file is acquired.
  • Interval: 
    Generates reports automatically at user-defined intervals from 1 to 24 hours.
  • Weekly: 
    Generates reports on a specified day of the week and time by consolidating data from multiple files collected during the specified period.
  • Monthly: 
    Generates reports based on a specified date and time each month, consolidating data from multiple files collected during the specified period.

Various types of reports can be generated, including trend waveforms, recorded data lists, alarm lists, and message lists.

Generate Standard Reports

 

Generate Custom Reports

Custom reports allow you to freely define report layouts and output items. Because reports can be designed to closely match existing report formats, RF10 enables automated report generation without requiring significant changes to existing workflows. By automatically generating reports tailored to process and equipment operating conditions, RF10 streamlines the creation of process records and test reports.

The following report types are available to suit different application requirements.

  • [Daily Custom] [Hour + Daily] [Daily + Weekly] [Daily + Monthly]:
    Generates reports at a specified time by consolidating data from multiple files collected during the selected period.
  • [Batch]:
    Generates a separate report for each data file.
  • [Batch Report (Threshold) ]:
    Even when a data file contains multiple batch processes, RF10 can generate separate reports for each batch by applying user-defined split conditions.

 

Example Report: Heat Treatment
Example Report: Heat Treatment

  • In addition to trend waveforms, numeric data such as per-minute and per-hour are output in a list format
  • Recorder alarm and message information can be added along with date and time.
  • In addition to free text, you can insert image data such as the person in charge/approver field and the company logo

Example Report: Sterilization Process

  • Import production information stored on a PLC or other device as recorder batch text and apply it to the report
  • Various Excel functions can be incorporated into the report template

 

 

Example Report: Sterilization Process

When combined with the elapsed time calculation function of the SMARTDAC+ Paperless Recorder, you can automate the measurement and entry of sterilization time, which previously required manual verification based on waveform data from chart paper. You can automatically create custom reports that include trend waveforms, sterilization time, and F-values.
