The document discusses Nanocomp's development of a manufacturing reporting and monitoring system called the Nanocomp Gateway. It evolved from an initial OQC reporting system in 2012 to include real-time process and production monitoring displays accessible via a status board. The system utilizes a mixed cloud approach with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and local data processing. It was developed over 2012-2015 in a collaboration between Nanocomp and SoftColor involving 48 work days. Lessons learned included that PAAS saves time and rich client applications provide the best user experience. Future plans include integrating additional Azure and Office 365 capabilities.
