Standard Data
Collection – The heart of its data
acquisition capabilities is the collector,
providing automatic data of configured points.
Collectors feature store-forward capability and
automatic reconnection to the server, ensuring
that data is never lost during a server outage.
Plant
Data Repository or Historian
All manufacturer's can gain the benefits
of Plant Intelligence with Proficy
Historian, a plant-wide data historian
that can be cost-efficiently scaled to
meet the needs of large, small and
medium-sized plants. Proficy Historian
is designed to meet the needs of all
manufacturers, regardless of whether
their primary processes are discrete,
process or batch.
Plant Historians deliver value to
manufacturers in many areas, notably,
Visibility, Corporate Accountability, eManufacturing
and Operational Improvements.
Corporate Accountability
Gathering Production & Process data and aggregating it
efficiently requires a historian capable
of pulling data from numerous sources
(i.e., the manufacturing line, packaging
line, raw material receiving,
chromatographs, etc.) and aggregating it
for use by systems that track product
quality, track emissions, prepare
reports, etc.
Advancing Your eManufacturing
Infrastructure
"eManufacturing" is shorthand for the
systems and processes that allow
manufacturers to seamlessly integrate
their plant floor manufacturing
operations with their business systems
in order to provide the information
flows required to optimize their supply
chains. Proficy Historian is designed to
be an integral component of an effective
eManufacturing infrastructure.
Data collected by the Proficy Historian
is stored at high speed and high
compression rates as time-series data.
This time-series of data can then be
analyzed for typical plant events such
as equipment downtime or product
genealogies, with the resulting
information being visible throughout the
enterprise.
