The beauty of Canary Historian's solution is that it works on-site as well as for the entire enterprise. You can log data locally and send it to your enterprise historian simultaneously. The best part is that the solution grows with you. A single Canary Historian is capable of logging more than two million tags. Multiple Canary Historians can also be clustered to manage tens of thousands of tags. Enterprise historian solutions can be hosted in either your own data centers, or in AWS or Azure. Canary Historians are not dependent on specialized teams of ten or more to maintain, unlike other enterprise history solutions. The Canary Historian, a NoSQL time-series database, uses loss-less compression algorithms for high-speed performance without data interpolation.

AVEVA Historian makes it easy to handle the most complex data reporting and analysis tasks. Historian can be used to monitor one process or an entire facility. It stores data locally and aggregates data at the corporate level. This reduces the number of versions of plant operating data, which increases productivity, decreases errors, and lowers operational costs. Historian is able to handle time-series data as well as alarm or event data, which is a departure from traditional relational databases that are not well-suited for production environments. Historian's unique "history block" technology captures plants data hundreds of times faster that standard databases and uses a fraction of conventional storage space. Historian will ensure that data integrity is maintained for the most stringent requirements. AVEVA Historian handles low bandwidth data communications, late-coming data, and data from systems with mismatched clocks. High-resolution data captured every time.

It is time to put aside the tedious transcription of critical plant performance data and warn-out clipboards. FactoryTalk®, Historian software captures operational data from multiple sources at lightning fast speed. FactoryTalk Historian software is robust and can scale from machine-to-enterprise. It provides superior supervisory control, performance monitoring, quality assurance, and performance monitoring. Even the most experienced plant-floor record keeper would find it difficult to reliably record time-series records at such a rapid pace. FactoryTalk Historian dashboards take this work off of your hands. The added confidence in forecasting trends using reliable data will result in a higher level of productivity. FactoryTalk Historian Site Edition, (SE) ensures that data from across your enterprise and plant is always accessible.
