Universal Reporting ServerCentralized manufacturing reporting and dashboard platform

Universal Reporting Server centralizes production data into interactive dashboards, formatted reports, and exportable analytics. Designed for managers, planners, and operations leadership, it transforms test results, traceability records, and production metrics into clear, accessible insight across the factory floor.

What is Universal Reporting Server?

Universal Reporting Server is a configurable reporting and dashboard platform that surfaces manufacturing data in a structured, user-friendly interface. It organizes reports into configurable groups and tiles, allowing users to access logistics reports, shop floor dashboards, CFlow data, and other production insights from a single centralized location. Reports can be presented in multiple formats, including interactive dashboards, formatted production reports, Excel-based outputs, and launchable production applications. By separating reporting access from deep system navigation, Universal Reporting Server gives managers and planners direct visibility without requiring full system-level access.

Why do manufacturers need a centralized reporting platform?

Manufacturers often collect large volumes of production data but struggle to transform that data into usable insight. Without a centralized reporting layer, organizations commonly experience:

  • Disconnected reporting tools across departments
  • Limited visibility for managers who do not use core production systems
  • Delays in identifying defect trends or production bottlenecks
  • Manual data exports and spreadsheet consolidation
  • Difficulty surfacing actionable metrics in real time

How does Universal Reporting Server improve decision-making?

Universal Reporting Server delivers production data in formats aligned to how different roles consume information. Manufacturers using Universal Reporting Server gain:

  • Interactive dashboards with drill-down filtering
  • Real-time or scheduled data refresh options
  • Export-to-Excel functionality for deeper analysis
  • Formatted production reports for printing and shipment documentation
  • Configurable report groups based on user role
  • Automated notifications for pass or fail events

How Universal Reporting Server works

Configurable report architecture

  • Report groups organized by role or function
  • Tile-based layout for easy navigation
  • Role-based visibility and user access control
  • Admin tools for managing report configuration

Multiple report types

  • Interactive dashboards with date range filters and drill-down capabilities
  • Structured production reports for test results and shipping documentation
  • Excel-based reports with pre-generated or live data options
  • Direct launch of production applications from the reporting interface

Automated scheduling and notifications

  • Report updates by the minute, hour, day or week
  • Automated data imports and synchronization
  • Email notifications for test success or failure events
  • Cross-plant data visibility and reporting consistency

What applications benefit most from Universal Reporting Server?

  • Production managers monitoring shop floor performance
  • Quality leaders analyzing defect trends
  • Planners reviewing logistics and throughput reports
  • Manufacturing engineers reviewing test data
  • Executives seeking high-level production dashboards
  • Plants displaying real-time metrics on production monitors

What business impact can manufacturers expect?

  • Faster access to actionable production data
  • Improved visibility into defect trends and quality metrics
  • Reduced manual reporting effort
  • Standardized reporting across facilities
  • Improved responsiveness to production issues
  • Stronger data-driven decision-making

Built for integration and scale

Universal Reporting Server integrates directly with production execution systems and reporting modules. Reports are built from core manufacturing data and can be deployed across multiple plants with configurable role-based access. As reporting needs evolve, dashboards and report formats can be added or reconfigured without rebuilding core production systems. Manufacturers deploy one centralized reporting framework and extend it across departments and facilities.
