Impara Generating Automated Reports | Automating Everyday Engineering Tasks

Automated reporting is a critical part of engineering workflows, allowing you to turn raw or processed data into clear, actionable summaries for teammates, managers, or clients. Instead of manually copying results or statistics into emails or documents, you can use Python to generate readable, consistent reports automatically. This not only saves time but also reduces errors and ensures that stakeholders always receive up-to-date information in a format that highlights what matters most.


              123456789101112131415161718
            
# Sample data: processed sensor statistics
sensor_name = "Temperature Sensor A"
avg = 22.7
min_val = 20.1
max_val = 25.4
stdev = 1.2

# Generate a formatted text report
report = (
    f"Sensor Report: {sensor_name}\n"
    f"--------------------------\n"
    f"Average Value : {avg:.2f}\n"
    f"Minimum Value : {min_val:.2f}\n"
    f"Maximum Value : {max_val:.2f}\n"
    f"Std. Deviation: {stdev:.2f}\n"
)

print(report)

To make your reports clear and professional, you need effective string formatting. Python offers several ways to build strings with dynamic values, but f-strings are especially useful for report generation. F-strings let you embed variable values directly inside your text, making it easy to line up columns, control decimal places, and create summaries that are both readable and accurate. By adjusting alignment and numerical formatting, you ensure your reports are easy to interpret and ready for sharing.

# Creating a summary table with f-strings
device = "Pressure Valve B"
readings = [101.2, 99.8, 102.5, 100.9]
avg = sum(readings) / len(readings)
max_val = max(readings)
min_val = min(readings)

table = (
    f"{'Device':<20}{'Average':>10}{'Min':>10}{'Max':>10}\n"
    f"{'-'*50}\n"
    f"{device:<20}{avg:>10.2f}{min_val:>10.2f}{max_val:>10.2f}\n"
)

print(table)

1. What is an f-string in Python used for?

2. Why is automated report generation valuable for engineers?

3. Fill in the blank: 'report = f"Average: {avg}, Max: {max_val}"' uses ___ to insert values.

Tutto è chiaro?
