Citect has released CitectSCADA Reports V4.1; a plant-wide reporting tool that collects, historizes and distributes reporting data. Citect claims it now offers better integration and superior reporting, whilst alleviating installation and configuration complexities. The release introduces out-of-the-box alarm management reports, sample reports giving users instant access to historical data. It also focuses on connectivity with the introduction of multi-cluster support and industry standard connectivity via the OPC HDA Server. David Humphrey, Director of Research, Europe, ARC Advisory Group says, “Today’s business objectives are about driving change and determining real-time enterprise needs. By utilizing an integrated solution for reporting and decision analysis such as CitectSCADA Reports V4.1, businesses can analyze performance and more effectively manage changing demands. Government regulations, audit and compliance issues also become easier to manage and business risk is reduced as a result.” “As the industry’s ‘most open’ historian, CitectSCADA Reports V4.1 builds on our platform with a powerful standard reporting package designed to help you improve alarm management in your plant” added Stephen Flannigan, Global Director CitectSCADA. CitectSCADA Reports V4.1 includes a range of pre-configured alarm management reports based on the EEMUA 191 Alarm Management guidelines that are the de-facto standard for the industry. Unlike other historians, CitectSCADA Reports V4.1 utilizes 100% Microsoft SQL Server 2005 as its embedded historical data store.
