What is Wonderware Historian?
A high-performance process historian, capable of storing huge
volumes of data generated from today's industrial facilities.

Historian efficiently retrieves and securely delivers information to

desktop computers, mobile devices and web portals, enabling your
organization to analyze process data anywhere at any time.

“Store data at the resolution of your Process –

Retrieve it at the resolution of the Problem you are trying to Solve”
It’s good at collecting data
Wonderware Historian can collect data from a wide range of data sources…

DATA ACQUISITION OPC SERVERS SYSTEM INTOUCH CSV FILES

SERVERS via FS GATEWAY PLATFORM HMI via FASTLOAD

A single historian can easily scale from local installations with a few
hundred tags all the way to enterprise level installations involving up to
two million tags.

Support for time resolutions down to one millisecond!

a set of highly flexible configuration options.
INTERFACE
It can transform data to suit different needs
While a quality manager and a SCADA operator might be
interested in viewing the same data, their motivations are
often quite different.

Wonderware Historian is able to condition and format data

at the time of retrieval in order to meet the differing needs
of consumers.

Comprehensive reporting and data analysis options enable

more team members to gain value from your process
history and having access to data enhances collaboration.
It has a flexible and fault tolerant architecture
Local Historians collect data from
PLC drivers.

Data is compressed and encrypted

before being replicated to an
Enterprise Historian.

Data is also replicated to redundant

Enterprise Historians.
