PxTrend – Management Information System
KMI established already worldwide PxTrend as a powerful process and production data archive that captures information directly at the source, stores it securely, and makes it available company-wide in a consistent format. Values and messages are accessible anytime via web browser, reports, or email – platform-independent on PC, tablet, or smartphone. Its modular design, open standards, and client/server architecture keep administration to a minimum. With role-based user management, multilingual interface, and flexible reporting, PxTrend is a cost-effective and easy-to-integrate solution that ensures lasting transparency, greater efficiency, and smarter decision-making across your entire operation.
PxTrend Server
The PxTrend Server collects and archives data from process control systems, PC stations, or connected acquisition systems in freely definable time intervals. All information is made centrally available across the corporate network – whether on site, at headquarters, or in the home office. Its HTML-based interface allows configuration, archive management, and graphical visualization directly in the browser. Data can easily be exported to applications such as Excel or Access, or queried by higher-level planning systems – always from a consistent, unified data source. This ensures maximum transparency, simplified workflows, and reliable access to critical production information anytime, anywhere.
Seamless Data Flow
PxTrend provides consistent process data from all automation systems across the entire company – archived for years and always accessible. Since access is handled via simple HTML queries, no special client software is required. This means every workstation receives the same archive and real-time data of ongoing production, ensuring a single source of truth for all users. Planning and ERP systems can connect directly to the current data and process it further. In this way, production data instantly becomes a valuable foundation for smarter decisions in your daily operations.
Web – based
PxTrend relies on modern web technology: from any workstation, data points can be created, archives managed, and templates designed – all without additional software or license costs. An integrated graphic editor enables fast visualization of process data, while templates ensure a consistent look and feel. Curves can be customized and calculated (e.g. min/max, average, sum). Excel integration is simple thanks to HTML queries. All queries are processed server-side, making even large datasets efficient to handle and consistently available across the enterprise. This ensures cost savings, easy operation, and reliable transparency for smarter daily decisions.
Central Information & Message Archive
PxTrend provides a powerful, plant-wide archive for process and operator messages as well as general plant and laboratory data. All information is captured centrally and delivered uniformly to every workstation through the web interface. Data from multiple control systems and sources can be archived, displayed, and configured by users in a consistent format. Features such as filtering, statistics, time selection, time charts, list or curve views create maximum transparency. With a single click, data and messages can be exported directly to Excel – ensuring quick analysis, streamlined workflows, and smarter decision-making.
Web-Based Reporting System
With the integrated report designer, users can create anything from simple to complex reports using archive values, counter lists, or external sources. Output is flexible – on screen, as PDF, on paper, or via Excel export – with no local installation required. Thanks to the web interface, reports can be accessed from any PC or smartphone in the network. Web services allow queries in Excel, SQL, or SAP, including functions such as sum, min/max, average, or standard deviation. Event-driven email delivery, central administration, and automated report runs make PxTrend a powerful, universal reporting tool – ensuring transparency, efficiency, and actionable insights across the enterprise.
