 Working with the App

Use machine data in Power BI

The app exposes data from MEGABAU 365 as API endpoints. This lets you import machine, location, and history information into Power BI for analysis.

Connect to Power BI

Open the OData feed in Power BI and connect to your Business Central URL. Import the available entities Machinery, Machine Locations, and Machine Log Entries.

Available entities

  • Machinery contains machine and equipment information such as type, status, and location.
  • Machine Locations contains location data and project assignments.
  • Machine Log Entries contains historical assignments, durations, and cost information.

Typical reports

  • Machine utilization and availability
  • Location and project distribution
  • Historical assignment and cost analysis

Recommendation

Use the API entities as the basis for reports and dashboards. For large data sets, filter by date, location, or project to improve performance.
