Advanced Data Storage

Unlike conventional relational databases that are not well-suited to production environments, Historian handles time-series data, as well as alarm and event data. Unique “history block” technology captures plant data hundreds of times faster than a standard database system and utilizes a fraction of the conventional storage space.



A complete picture of operational history

AVEVA Historian simplifies the most demanding data reporting and analysis requirements. Historian can be deployed to monitor a single process or an entire facility, storing data locally and aggregating data at the corporate level. Eliminating multiple versions of plant operating data in this way increases productivity, reduces errors, and lowers costs.

Advanced data storage and compression

Unlike conventional relational databases that are not well-suited to production environments, Historian handles time-series data, as well as alarm and event data. Unique “history block” technology captures plant data hundreds of times faster than a standard database system and utilizes a fraction of the conventional storage space.

Uncompromising data integrity

Historian will maintain the data integrity needed for the most demanding requirements. AVEVA Historian manages low bandwidth data communications, late-coming information, and even data from systems with mismatched system clocks. Ensuring high resolution data is captured accurately every time.

Process database for operations control

Tailored to the demanding needs of industrial processes across all industries, AVEVA Historian is the perfect companion to AVEVA’s world-leading operations control solutions for Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). This enables faster, more informed decisions while keeping everyone informed on operational performance.

Millions of Data Tags

Historian’s ability to handle millions of tags provides plenty of capability to collect and store your vital process, alarm, and event data. Monitor a single process or an entire facility. Store data locally and aggregate at the enterprise level.

Collect, Validate, Archive

Capture data from basic single-node sources or highly-distributed sources anywhere in the world. Apply built-in data validation procedures to ensure data accuracy. Preserve everything from short-term diagnostics to long- term records needed to support regulatory requirements.
