HORSHAM, PA (USA) – With the release of their new Data Miner 2.0 data reporting software for manufacturing, Aegis Software dramatically streamlines how manufacturing engineers, managers, and corporate executives access volumes of manufacturing information and create reports. Data Miner brings the concept of ‘lean’ to the development of endless manufacturing reports and analytics, usually done by the IT staff, needed to run a world-class operation and support customer data demands.

Now anyone can easily retrieve, visualize, interrogate, and report on process, quality, production WIP, traceability, and performance information without requiring IT assistance or any database or reporting skill. Data Miner provides an interactive, graphical way for users to incorporate historical manufacturing data in preconfigured reports without employing SQL. Reports are readily saved and delivered later either by scheduled email or web-based access.

Exploring your manufacturing information with Data Miner is a simple four-step process: 1) Select the type of data to report (quality, performance, traceability, WIP, etc.), 2) Interactively group and sort the information using a unique graphical environment, or a more traditional pivot table system, 3) Visualize the data instantly in a drill-down manner (bar charts, pie charts, etc.), and 4) Place the data into a visual report editor. Once a report is created and saved, the system can generate and send a report automatically. For instance, a report can be automatically generated at 7:00 a.m. on Monday and sent to the manufacturing manager’s email, instantly updating him or her on the weekend’s accomplishments. Additionally, Data Miner supports an entire SPC engine.

Data Miner may be used alone, or synergistically with Aegis’ real-time operations dashboard solution —iMonitor. Together, they complete the data fulfillment requirement of a world-class enterprise, offering both interactive historical analytics and reporting, and actionable, real-time dashboard information.

“Data Miner makes manufacturing engineers and managers self-sufficient from a data analysis and reporting perspective,” says Aegis CEO Jason Spera. “The result is the elimination of custom report programming and IT involvement, freeing people up to spend time on more valuable activities rather than struggling with report creation.”
