Batch reporting in SCADA systems - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Batch Reporting

📖 Scenario: You work in a factory using a SCADA system to monitor production batches. Each batch has a unique ID and a status indicating if it passed quality checks.Your manager wants a quick report showing which batches passed.

🎯 Goal: Create a batch report that lists only the batch IDs that passed quality checks.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a dictionary called batches with batch IDs as keys and status strings as values

Create a variable called passed_status with the value 'Passed'

Use a dictionary comprehension to create a new dictionary passed_batches containing only batches with status equal to passed_status

Print the passed_batches dictionary

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Factories use SCADA systems to monitor production batches and quickly identify which batches passed quality checks for reporting and decision-making.

💼 Career

DevOps and automation engineers often write scripts to process and report system data, helping teams monitor production and maintain quality.

1

Create the batch data

Create a dictionary called batches with these exact entries: 'B001': 'Passed', 'B002': 'Failed', 'B003': 'Passed', 'B004': 'Failed', 'B005': 'Passed'

SCADA systems

# Create the batches dictionary with exact batch IDs and statuses
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces to create a dictionary. Each entry has a batch ID as a string key and a status string as value.

2

Set the passed status variable

Create a variable called passed_status and set it to the string 'Passed'

SCADA systems

batches = {'B001': 'Passed', 'B002': 'Failed', 'B003': 'Passed', 'B004': 'Failed', 'B005': 'Passed'}
# Create the passed_status variable with value 'Passed'
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a simple assignment to create the variable.

3

Filter batches that passed

Use a dictionary comprehension to create a new dictionary called passed_batches that contains only the batches from batches where the status equals passed_status

SCADA systems

batches = {'B001': 'Passed', 'B002': 'Failed', 'B003': 'Passed', 'B004': 'Failed', 'B005': 'Passed'}
passed_status = 'Passed'
# Create passed_batches dictionary with only batches that have status 'Passed'
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use {key: value for key, value in dict.items() if condition} syntax.

4

Print the passed batches report

Print the passed_batches dictionary to display the batches that passed quality checks

SCADA systems

batches = {'B001': 'Passed', 'B002': 'Failed', 'B003': 'Passed', 'B004': 'Failed', 'B005': 'Passed'}
passed_status = 'Passed'
passed_batches = {batch_id: status for batch_id, status in batches.items() if status == passed_status}
# Print the passed_batches dictionary
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use print(passed_batches) to show the filtered dictionary.
