01
CLIENT
A well-established Polish manufacturer of construction chemicals and waterproofing materials, focused on optimizing high-volume production through the strategic implementation of industrial automation and digital process control.
02
BUSINESS NEEDS
The transfer process between tanks was already executed within the existing control system, but there was no tool allowing convenient analysis of historical operations. Process data was dispersed and difficult to interpret in the context of individual transfers. The goal of the project was to develop a reporting system enabling fast searching, filtering, and exporting of data related to material transfers between tanks.
03
CHALLENGE
-
System Integration
Integration with the existing control system without disrupting critical process operations. -
Data Structuring
Structuring raw process data into clear records representing individual transfers. -
Historical Analysis
Efficient historical analysis even with large volumes of stored operational data. -
Operator Interface
Intuitive operator interface for browsing production data without database knowledge.
04
SOLUTION
We developed a comprehensive reporting environment that transforms raw automation data into actionable insights. The solution entailed:
- Transfer log Implementation of logic that records each transfer between tanks as a separate report record.
- Process data structure Recording of key information such as date and time of operation, target weight, delivered weight, source tank, destination tank, and operator.
- Advanced data filtering Ability to filter reports by time range, tanks, and materials.
- HMI reporting interface Dedicated report screen for quick viewing of transfer history.
Industrial processes generate vast amounts of data, but real value appears only when this data becomes accessible and understandable. Well-designed reporting systems transform raw automation data into actionable operational insight.

OUTCOME
The project delivered a transparent and efficient material transfer reporting system, which significantly improved the availability of production data and the ability of operators and process engineers to analyze it.
- Full visibility All material transfers are recorded and available in one place.
- Quick analysis Operators can find transfers from a selected time period in seconds.
- Analytics support The ability to export data to CSV allows for further analysis in business tools.
- Improved control Access to data such as target weight and delivered weight allows for easy detection of deviations.
