Applications for Manufacturing Historians
Historians are utilized across many industries and applications:
Consumer Products, Food and Beverage, Automotive, Life Sciences
Continuous Process, Packaging, Material Routing
Key benefits of a Historian:
Capture and process high-speed, time-series data
Store in a central (Site or Enterprise) data repository for future analysis
Historical data is used for:
Analysis through calculations, statistical processes, quality controls
Supports business and operational analysis:
Trends and graphs of data
Turns Data into Information!
