Simple to Configure
Connect Historian to any OPC UA compatible sensor, device or automation system and start collecting the information that is important to you. Historian can collect data in real time and store it in SQL databases.
Easy to Access
Once Historian has started collecting data, it can be accessed with any client application that supports either OPC UA or SQL. This includes ERP, MES, and BI systems, as well as numerous other enterprise applications.
OPC UA Data Logger
Historian acts as a data logger with SQL databases and fits your existing IT and automation infrastructure well. Once you have data stored, you are operating safely. And when you manage your database, you decide when and how you use your valuable data.
Single Point of Access
Having all the data behind a single point of access enables tighter firewall rules and better network control. This can also simplify your system architecture and add security significantly. In addition to history data logging, you can use Historian as a gateway for accessing real-time data from all the underlying OPC UA servers.
History Data Server
Many data sources, such as industrial devices, are not able to create a history data storage by themselves. This can be overcome by using OPC UA Historian. And because OPC UA is a vendor-independent communications standard, Historian enables you to connect to numerous devices and systems from different vendors.
Ready for the Industrial Internet and Industry 4.0
Easy, reliable, and secure data logging is a key function for system integration, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Industry 4.0 solutions. The Historian has been designed to be one of the key building blocks when you develop your total system, starting from sensor data.
