The design, reliability and speed of access to the Loss and Waste data is the key to this products success. Treefrog Software has always reconised that customers have their own corporate database standards and therefore support storage of the physical data in a number of reconised database system formats:
Oracle Versions 8, 9 & 10
MySQL
Microsoft SQL V7
These solutions are true client server, with TLW interfacing to native clients locally, which communicate to proprietary Server software installed on a dedicated server via TCPIP.
Treefrog Software firmly believe that our customers should have unlimited access to all of their data, and this is evident in the number of graphs, system, fixed and query reports that can be accessedby users. Not content with this then we provide the ability to export any report into Mircosoft excel files, facilitating the intergration of other sources of factory data, and user definable charts and calculations.

System reports allow the user to obtain lists of currently defined products, operators, shift patterns, batch cycle times and packing speeds to name a few.
Fixed reports are desinged to condense information into a single page report, usually with a time frame of Shift, Day, Week and Month, whereas query reports provide access to all data held in the system.
As well as Reporting Functionality we also provide drill down graph hierarchies to support both OPE and OEE on each line. These graphs break down the Availability, Performance and Quality into trends and further into Pie graphs of the present week and the last three months totaled.
