Design and Application of Automatic Report Form Generation by OPC Data Collection Technology in Iron and Steel Enterprises

This paper designs and implements an automatic report generation system which is applied to iron and steel enterprises by OPC data collection technology. The system includes data collection module, data storage module, thread management module, data transfer storage module, report display module and remote process call module. Through the data acquisition server, the real-time parameter data acquisition on the blast furnace is saved to the enterprise information system, which provides data reading support for OPC data acquisition client to collect the blast furnace parameter data. The data storage module, thread management module, data transfer storage module and report display module read the information from the acquisition system and save it to the enterprise information system after processing Yongjiang et al. (Automat Technol Appl 27(4):66–69, 2008 [1]). In this design, the data of blast furnace parameters are automatically collected from OPC client, and the network and database resources are used to support the operation of the system, save the data of blast furnace parameters and operation logs. Without manual operation of on-the-job operators, timely and accurate report of blast furnace parameter operation data can improve the working efficiency of the central control room of iron and steel plant.
