Furthermore, Fulcrum offers the ability to recall & visualise historical data, which enables the user to compare parameters site-wide, using a variety of charting options. This allows for the investigation of cause-and-effect relationships. The system also allows for the creation of bespoke charts, dashboards, SCADA, & HMI displays for simple & complex visualisation of data, this is to improve reporting & potential optimisation.
