Data stays in your servers
Because industrial data is critical, you can host the dashboard server within your local network or on your secure cloud servers so all data remains secure within your servers. We support Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS
Preparing Data
The best and recommended solution for preparing the data, is to use AVEVA BI GATEWAY (B.I.G.), especially if massive time series analysis is planned to be used in the dashboards.
Existing data that is stored in a wide variety of data sources like Microsoft Excel files, relational databases etc... can be first transformed into a format that is ready for visualization using dashboards.
Managing Dashboards
Dashboards are efficiently organized and versioned under categories. Permissions to view dashboards can be given to specific users or groups. Security includes optional Active Directory authentication, with flexible permissions.
Dashboards can be generated and emailed according to a schedule.
Viewing Dashboards
The built-in HTML 5 dashboard viewer lets users view dashboards from within the browser.
Schedule the whole dashboard or specific widgets to automatically refresh at the desired time intervals.
Easily collaborate with other users by commenting on dashboards.
The Dashboard server's user interface can be localized to any desired language.
It also has built-in customization capabilities allowing you to add your organization's name, logo, welcome note, and more.
Composing Dashboards
The intuitive dashboard designer application makes it easy for everyone to create powerful dashboards. The rich selection of data visualization widgets which is available allows you to visualize your data as desired. It is also possible to make the dashboards interactive by letting end-users drill down and filter data.
Dashboards can be published to the server from within the designer application itself.
The Dashboard Designer's user interface can be localized to any desired language.

-
What Alpana is NOTAlpana is not dedicated to be an ETL or a complete data preparation tool. We expose a simple user interface to perform simple data preparation, but in a very limited way compared to a great dedicated tool like Wonderware Intelligence. Please refer to the list of Intelligence features for more details on how it can be used and what are its features. Alpana can let you make table joins, filters, expressions, etc... in a great user interface, but does not pre-aggregate data. If you need to query Historian for many tags over several years, it might be very slow compared to a tool like AVEVA BI Gateway where you can pre-aggregate data, calculations, etc. AVEVA BI Gateway also features a contextualization tool called "Time Slicing" which allows to add context in a way that Alpana is not able.
