Abstract
Technologies are described for acquiring and processing data related to a production process, including to generate a report of variances between planned values and actual values. Data can be received from a plurality of data sources, such as hardware sensors, associated with the production process. The data can be sent in real time, such as in response to a request or upon the occurrence of a particular event. The data can be received and stored in one or more database tables having a format. The format can be the same format as a format in which planning data is maintained. When maintained in a common format, comparisons of planning and actual data can be carried out faster and with less processor use. Reports can include granular data, such as variances associated with particular data sources, or groups of data sources.
