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, Corporate Accountability, eManufacturing and Operational Improvements.
Corporate Accountability
Do you need to…..
• Reduce fines by improving regulatory compliance?
• Limit scope and cost of recalls by improving traceability and product genealogy?
• Speed product release with electronic signatures / 21 CFR 11?
•Increase quality by comparing current to ideal production?
Virtually every manufacturer must contend with the challenge of operating in compliance with a number of government regulations regarding product and worker safety, and in controlling emissions into the air and waterways. Compliance is especially important for manufacturers regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration. |

Gathering all of this 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. The ability of Proficy Historian to gather data from many sources and aggregate it makes it the ideal tool for efficiently and accurately meeting these demands.
Beyond regulatory compliance, a company's welfare also rests on it's ability to maintain the trust of it's customers and the public at large through maintaining the highest product quality and to mitigate the financial consequences from product failures and recalls.
Advancing Your eManufacturing Infrastructure
Do you need to……
• Leverage your ERP investments?
• Improve decision making with accurate, timely reporting?
• Provide manufacturing visibility to your supply chain?
"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. Proficy Historian holds the "one version of one truth" that is critical in providing plant intelligence from plant floor data.
Access to real-time data through the Proficy Historian enhances your investment in an ERP system, since it provides the key that unlocks the latent ROI potential of those ERP systems. As a result, a high performance, plant-wide vehicle for the collection, storage and retrieval of data is a critical component for your success.
Proficy Historian, delivered with a variety of visualization and configuration tools, including web-based, thin-client capabilities, empowers you to leverage real-time production data into plant-wide intelligence, allowing you to make better informed, more accurate business decisions.
Operational Improvements
Do you need to…..
• Increase production by improving machine uptime/efficiency?
• Calculate, analyze and improve Key Performance Indicators?
• Reduce capital expenditures by improving asset utilization?
While automation systems use manufacturing data to keep manufacturing systems on spec in real time, plant personnel need historical data to discern longer-term trends that affect their operations. With Proficy Historian a plant-wide historian that is flexible enough to record and aggregate data types from a variety of manufacturing situations - plant personnel can gain a detailed, high-fidelity view of their entire operation, enabling them to discern problems that might have been largely invisible in the past.
A broad, detailed view of production also is an important key to ensuring repeatability and consistency in products, reducing waste and helping ensure customer satisfaction.
Due to the critical significance of the data that Proficy Historian captures and stores, as well as the necessity for the data to be made available to enterprise-level systems, Proficy Historian has been designed to become part of a company overall IT infrastructure. Proficy Historian is thus a key tool in manufacturers' continuous improvement efforts. |
