April Release #1 - 2023

We’ve made the following updates to Maecos.

External Dashboard Support with PowerBI Integration

The dashboarding module has been awaiting an update, but we're now ready to introduce the first in a series of new features and enhancements.

Incorporating external dashboards

The new integration with PowerBI enables users to create a Maecos dashboard by simply pointing to a PowerBI report via an embed URL. This seamless connection allows users to display any PowerBI report within our application, providing access to advanced visualization and analytical capabilities.

Additionally, the update extends the flexibility of the dashboarding module by allowing the embedding of virtually any external URL, not just PowerBI. This means you can incorporate other third-party visualizations or tools directly into your Maecos dashboard.

By combining the power of our reporting databases with PowerBI integration and external URL embedding, you can create custom dashboards that blend Maecos data and external data sources. This enhancement empowers you to uncover valuable insights to further optimize your manufacturing processes and operations.

Why this matters

  • Customization: With the ability to integrate PowerBI and other external URLs, users can now build and customize dashboards based on their specific needs and preferences.

  • Data Integration: Combining Maecos data with external data sources enables users to generate comprehensive insights and make better-informed decisions.

  • Unified Interface: This update allows users to access all relevant data visualizations and tools in a single platform, reducing the need to switch between applications.

Get started

To take advantage of the new feature, just create a new dashboard, select "Use external report URL," and input an embed URL from PowerBI or your preferred reporting tool.
