without relying on custom tools for each device. Compare data from separate lines, units,
or plants, all in a single tool.

keeping track of your system, from the comfort of your office. Calculate KPIs, color code, trend,
and analyze them all in real-time.

OPC vs. DDE
Replace your Excel-DDE solution with Excel Reporter. Why use an OPC-Excel solution instead of DDE?
- Supportability. Microsoft is gradually phasing DDE out – and there are more OPC data sources
- Interoperability. OPC has compliance and interoperability testing for clients and servers
- Speed and Through-put. OPC has better performance for real-time applications than DDE
- Scalability. With Excel as an OPC client, you can connect to multiple data sources more easily
- Robustness. Unlike DDE, OPC has built in error handling in the specification
- Security - OPC Security is more flexible and works better over networked configurations
