Mills use Excel spreadsheets for periodic reporting (shift, day, month) as well as for troubleshooting. Many of these spreadsheets target the reporting time and are therefore only correct once per day. This talk discusses various options from migrating through the OSIsoft software stack toward business analytics tools to change static reports into opportunity generating tools available throughout the day/month. The talk walks through steps-wise options to migrate the spreadsheets to business analytic tools and how to determine if each step is sufficient for the report at hand.
