empuron visual - the Portal for Data Integration and Analysis For energy management data analysis and plant supervision the Portal system empuron visual is created. empuron visual facilitates the system-independent visualization and evaluation of messages, values and status information by accessing existing systems (control systems, automation systems...) and databases (archives, DATA Warehouses...). Each PC attached at the Internet/Intranet allows an easy access to the energy performance data. The access to these standard clients creates measureable cost savings. By use of the role system of empuron visual dialogues can be activated for the data evaluation and data acquisition for user groups, so that the portal provides the display, input and care of data at arbitrary workstations Export functions, e.g. to Excel, permit the subsequent treatment of data in common office programs. Exemplary in the Handling The MDI (multi document interface), button technology and the context sensitive menus of the user interface permit a simple and intuitive handling. Assistants support the operator and facilitate the completion of the more complex dialogues of the system. empuron visual is a time-saving aid for routine or Ad-hoc-evaluations, which supplies management, planners, specialized divisions or service teams purposefully with information. The user administration also provides finely gradatable rights of access and allocation of operating and display functions. It is flexibly adaptable using comfortable administrator dialogues. Various interfaces, e.g. (1) Real-time data base (ODB) by Siemens SINAUT Spectrum (2) Archives systems HFD, HFDORA (Siemens SINAUT Spectrum) (3) Siemens SINAUT Spectrum DATA Warehouse and FDWH (4) Archives systems on basis OPC HDA (5) Real-time data bases on basis OPC OPC-DA (6) Arbitrary further databases using SOA adapter groups of the empuron application server. A reporting system allows a the free creation of reports and free of choice output formats.
