AVEVA Historian Client

A powerful data analytics software solution that covers everything from straightforward statistical summaries to error correction and cycle-time analysis.

Understanding Your Industrial Data

Historian Client is powerful analysis and reporting software that taps into your Historian, so offering access to real-time and historical production details to engineers, operators and operations managers. The generation of real-time and historical data charts and reports is now simpler than ever before.

Operators, engineers and decision-makers can obtain an instant overview of what is taking place during all industrial processes. They are able to view and analyse reports and data trends on their laptop, desktop or web browser by using applications such as InTouch HMI, Microsoft Office or even custom software clients.

Extract Insight from Your Data

Gain valuable insight from the data in your historian with Historian Client data analytics software and share your data securely with co-workers and systems, whether on the control, operations or business network. Historian Client makes self-service reporting, troubleshooting and continuous process improvement simpler and more effective.

Historian Client – Benefits Reported by Users

Visibility into real-time data from Historian, across the enterprise
Faster, easier and more precise troubleshooting
Immediately shareable self-service production and performance reports, via email or the web.

Add More Efficiency, Capacity and Data Integrity

Historian Client accesses plant data which is stored in special history “extension” tables of the Historian. This provides time domain extensions that allow for more useful retrieval of time-series data from these tables, surpassing the functionality of Microsoft Transact-SQL. The customer can join data across multiple tables in order to retrieve data efficiently.

The Business Case

Such robust and simple access to production data pays for itself – many times over.

Lower Costs and Increase Productivity

By eliminating multiple versions of plant operating data, productivity is increased while errors and operating costs are minimised.

Bridge the Gap Between IT and OT

Using production data more effectively allows for greater alignment of operations and business strategy.

Improve Planning and Compliance

Historian Client includes multiple applications, which were designed to maximise the value of data stored in Historian. Accessing plant and process data through easy-to-use interfaces allows for improved troubleshooting, the flagging of inefficiencies as well as eliminating the time-consuming process of locating data. All applications are available over the web, by using Information Server.

Historian Client Features

Visualisation, data management, analysis and reporting features complement each other – to help you gain an increased understanding of your processes.

High Availability and Business Continuity

Historian Client maximises use of Historian redundancy capabilities. Should the primary historian go offline, the Historian Client automatically switches to a secondary historian. When the primary historian is back online again, Historian Client automatically switches back to the primary, without any interruption to the user.

Extensibility

To enable smooth integration within your enterprise applications, Historian Clients have component objects, which enable you to integrate robust visual and analytical capabilities within your own applications. Historian Client is built on System Platform, which facilitates functional richness and unprecedented scalability in industrial applications. System Platform allows users to build complete production and performance management solutions, using a single, integrated development platform – thus saving both time and development resources. It is possible for applications to start out small – and grow into a complete enterprise solution, as required.

Client Control Objects

A powerful library of component-based ActiveX and .NET control versions enables the extension of Historian Client to custom applications. These components are highly compatible with HMI InTouch and third-party container applications, like Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Visual Studio development system.
