Business Intelligence and comprehensive reporting

We develop comprehensive BI solutions for manufacturing enterprises

It was in 2017 that we first got involved with enterprise data analysis. In fact, our first customer was our own company. With the Tableau software, we analysed and visualised business data from our accounting software. This helped us improve our decision-making and strategy.

Shortly after that, our company adopted Office 365 and replaced Tableau with Power BI. We have created many interesting business opportunity and results views. Our sales representatives and management use Power BI virtually every day. In 2020, our FOXON BI Department expanded by hiring several experienced developers and analytics specialists, who have extensive experience in providing Business Intelligence and reporting solutions for industrial enterprises.

We call our IoT projects FIOT projects. The F in FIOT stands for Factory, denoting the IIoT, and also FOXON, which embodies our experience, new ideas, know-how and high standing. Similarly, we decided to call our Business Intelligence department FBI (Factory/FOXON BI). Our FBI agents are interested in your data. They will provide you with a quality enterprise reporting tool.

FOXON:

Develops comprehensive Business Intelligence (BI) solutions mainly for industrial enterprises.
Aggregates data from various systems to help you advance on your plant digitalisation journey (e.g. MES, ERP, Quality, Laboratory, Condition Monitoring, OEE, accounting systems, IT, etc.).
Interconnects production data, production material consumption data and energy consumption data to create such popular BI views as the number of pieces produced, tonnes, m³ and seconds, including costs in various currencies (e.g. CZK, EUR or USD).
Provides an all-in-one BI solution that equips everyone with a single version of the truth (employees no longer have to work with disparate systems, which minimises the risk of there being several different versions of the truth).
Offers fast, easy access to reporting via such modern tools as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, Excel contingency tables and other reporting tools.
Creates BI solutions that enable you to display information on your computer and mobile devices (i.e. tablets and smartphones).
Delivers the OLAP cube in a multi-language format (e.g. English, Czech, German, Slovak and other languages).
Designs and creates robust data warehouses.
Develops your first BI reports for you.
Trains users in the skill of modifying existing and developing new BI reports using Power BI Dashboard and Excel BI (when doing this users rely on the OLAP cube developed by FOXON for them).
Offers enterprises implementation of short, agile sprints when they set out on their BI solution journey (e.g. monthly sprints).

OLAP Data Cube – An Optimised Multidimensional Database

The OLAP data cube allows you to gain unprecedented insight into your company processes by processing and analysing multiple data dimensions. It comprises of the so-called measures (e.g. the number of pieces produced, seconds or kW/h), dimensions (e.g. date/time, production line or product) and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

The OLAP cube enables you to:

Compare plans (yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily) to actual numbers (by providing a number or a percentage).
Monitor trends by comparing years, months or seasons (i.e. the same period in 2020, 2019 and 2018).
Perform drilldown operations to get a more granular overview of your data rather than a general view.
