SCADA reporting and automation

Reporting via Excel for an international fire safety firm

Our client wished to provide more detailed and immediate feedback to trainees based on SCADA outputs.

Automated SCADA analysis

We wrote custom algorithms to automatically process the data produced by the client’s SCADA system and turn the results into useful feedback reports.

Language customisation

To allow the company to use the system in multiple countries, we incorporated a translation model that allowed end users to understand reports in their native language.

Speedy delivery

Due to the nature of the client’s business—fire safety—this project required a fast turn-around of just two weeks. The client was particularly thankful for our quick response.

The brief

The client’s fire training simulators deliver intense live-fire training allowing firefighters to battle realistic situations. During the training, the firm captures real-time sensor data at millisecond level, recorded in a SCADA SQL database.

This sensor data is then used to monitor trainee performance and deliver feedback. Their previous SCADA reporting software was costly and was not tailored to their needs.

The result

After the successful demonstration of a working prototype to demonstrate, we developed a system in Microsoft Excel, using custom VBA algorithms to automatically process the data produced by the client’s SCADA system

  • Dynamic and interactive charts and reports

  • Graphical representations of training sessions

  • Improved speed of feedback in the field

  • More engaging and effective training

  • Avoided generic SCADA software
