communication between FM and PLC

I work in an an industrial envirnoment where PLC is used to control all the machinery. From the PLC output we get all the production delay times and so on in order to make sure that this information is correct (bonuses paid are based on minimising production delays). Now we were discussing if we should use FM to store production data and generate daily performance reports automatically and we were stuck at "can FM recieve data from a PLC program directly?".

If anybody has a similar experience It would be much appreciated if they share :)

Many Thanks.

If the output is stored in SQL, FileMaker can use that as a data source.
