Announcement: Scheduled Provideam Service Pack available Oct 2009
We are delighted to announce the imminent release of Provideam v3.7. This new release of Provideam OEE will include support for Windows 7 32/64 bit Systems. We will also be giving the end user greater choice in selecting which OPC server product they wish to use with Provideam.
Users have been delighted with the drill down features we introduced to the OEE Analysis Dashboard. Of course this immediately prompted users to ask for the same features on the OEE Reporting Interface. Your wish is our command and the OEE Reporting interface will now have drilldown capability.
A very exciting new feature is the introduction of the Provideam web service interface. This feature allows integrators to query Provideam and generate OEE Datasets which can then be displayed in any 3rd party application which supports web services – for example VBA used in many SCADA packages supports web services.
The web service interface is completely flexible and the integrator can query the data any way they choose – so if the user wants a customised dashboard, it is now possible to integrate OEE functionality as a component of the dashboard.
This technology is applicable to any 3rd party application – SCADA/HMI/MES/ERP etc. Note also that web services are independent of the operating system so Provideam OEE data is available to applications running on practically any platform.
Service Pack 3.7 (Due October 2009)
| Item | Type | Description |
| Windows 7 support | New Feature | Provideam will support Microsoft’s new Operating System Windows 7. |
| Provideam Demo Support for Kepware’s KepServerEx V4/V5 and Software Toolbox’s TopServer | Enhancement | The Provideam Server Application always supported almost any good quality OPC Server. However the Provideam Demo application, used to showcase Provideam’s impressive features, was hardcoded with support for KepServerEx4 only. The next release will include support for both KepServerEX and TopServer. |
| OEE Loss Analysis Reports Drilldown | Enhancement | The Drilldown feature recently introduced to the Dashboard has now been implemented on the OEE Loss Analysis. This will enable the user to drilldown from a high level Loss Report to determine when particular losses actually occurred. |
| Web Service Interface to OEE Data | New Feature | Provideam will make available OEE data via web services. This enables integrators/developers to integrate Provideam data into 3rd party applications such as SCADA/HMI/MES/ERP/EXCEL. Any report or view supported by the Provideam Application can be replicated and customised in a 3rd party application. |
