Time saving solutions for manufacturing Plants to increase Productivity

Do you need to maximize your ability to collect time-series data? Do you need to have access to historical information at any time across different levels and tiers of your enterprise? Streamline your manufacturing applications with FactoryTalk® Historian.

The Rockwell Software three-tiered distributed FactoryTalk® Historian strategy provides a scalable solution for collecting real-time data retrievable over variable time spans. Powerful reporting and trending tools provide critical insight into performance parameters, and are available at high speed and full resolution for any control system or human-machine interface (HMI) software.

FactoryTalk® Historian Machine Edition (ME), is built on a solid state chassis with no moving parts and a limited software footprint for easy-to-use, plug-and-play access to real-time process and production data. FactoryTalk® Historian Site Edition (SE) enables plant supervisors to view production lines in real-time, build comparisons, and assess how batches are running at their site. Meanwhile, with the upcoming release of the FactoryTalk® Historian Enterprise Edition (EE), enterprise managers can look at KPIs across the enterprise, enabling manufacturers to meet and exceed their competitive performance goals.

Benefits

FactoryTalk® Historian collects time-series data which can be used as a basis for various calculations, estimations, statistical processes and quality controls throughout the processes and applications in the enterprise. Benefits include: 

• Improve processes through the ability to analyse complex process data easily;
• Reduce variability by verifying production parameters versus targets/norms;
• Respond to information requests from customers or regulators more easily through the maintenance of an accessible online record;
• Decrease overhead costs by saving time in collecting data and preparing reports. 

Rockwell Automation has improved the FactoryTalk Historian SE configuration and performance by adding a direct interface to FactoryTalk Live Data which provides premier integration with Rockwell Automation controllers, as well as adding online full tag browsing and configuration, and Auto Discovery/Configuration of tags and tag structures in our controllers. These features significantly improve and shorten the deployment time of a historian server in a predominantly Integrated Architecture environment.
