Comprising historian and portal functionality, Vijeo Historian enables you to accurately store data for long-term reporting, while giving you the option of visualising and accessing the information through the portal, MS Excel, Process Analyst or Reporting Services.
Business systems integration : Vijeo Historian reduces the complexity and cost of bridging the divide between senior management and plant operations through its simple, easy-to-use interface and its active data transfers that can push data from the control systems up to the business systems. By utilising the industry standard protocols, this integrated decision analysis solution will seamlessly connect your production to business systems. This way, process evaluation and decision-making by senior management is fed with the right levels of plant detail and, best of all, in a surprisingly accessible and business-focused form.
Enterprise-wide reporting : A range of reports can be produced using a convenient built-in historian in the familiar, open Microsoft user interface. Vijeo Historian comes with a standard set of pre-configured reports, simplifying basic alarm and tag reporting. Alternatively, you can build customised reports to your individual requirements. The combination of a powerful reporting tool and Process Analyst makes it easier for you to make sense of the huge volumes of generated data.
Alarm rationalisation and alarm management : Vijeo Historian provides pre-configured alarm rationalisation reports based on the EEMUA (Engineering Equipment & Materials Users Association) 191 alarm management guidelines. The reports are designed to improve the average and maximum number of alarms per hour, operator response time, usability and relevance. As a result, there are fewer incidents and less downtime.
Going ‘green’ with the energy reports : Vijeo Historian’s energy reports help you perform a comprehensive energy assessment of your plant to determine how much energy is being consumed and how much could potentially be saved. It also helps you identify the most inefficient equipment or processes in your plant, thereby enabling you to maximise your energy efficiency.
Maximise production efficiency : The Historian Web Client provides maintenance engineers with a fast way to analyse trend and event data. The Web Client delivers a flexible way for them to compare real-time and historical data in one interface. The Historian Excel Client adds value by integrating data directly from the control system to your business applications. Excel Client provides engineers and operation managers with all the calculation tools they need to model and analyse production. It brings real-time data to increase their understanding of the process and monitor it for change.
An open data store : Vijeo Historian utilises 100% Microsoft SQL Server 2005 as its embedded historical data store. Its open, industry-standard technology and trusted security integrates effortlessly into your business and, with MS Office, in a way that lowers your total cost of ownership.
Optimise operational performance: Vijeo Historian offers powerful performance with high data integrity, fast active data transfer rates and changes per second and unrivalled functionality – ensuring that you get the data you want in the format you want, when you want it.
Improve production quality : The data collected from SCADA control systems or your PLC devices result in a rich source of information for business analysis. By utilising data from your control system or connecting directly to external data sources, the historian can store the complete picture and manage it for quality and regulatory requirements.
