With data sets growing larger and more complex, process historian software is an effective means by which industrial businesses can access and study vast amounts of real-time and historical process data to optimise support decisions.
Vijeo Historian 4.40 software is the information management component of the innovative Schneider Electric PlantStruxure process automation platform that enables businesses to collect data from various systems and devices in order to run real-time analytics more efficiently and gather intelligence lying within large sets of historical data.
“Included in the software is a robust, easy to use plant historian that offers powerful analytical capability and scada system integration, revealing rich data for reporting purposes,” says Quintin McCutcheon, industry business marketing and operations general manager at Schneider Electric South Africa. “This evolution of Vijeo Historian provides customers with reduced engineering time, while offering additional capabilities in the delivery of business-critical data for real-time decision-making support. Historian Enquire for Microsoft Excel has an entirely new user interface accompanied by significantly improved reporting and analysis functionality. Users can filter, sort and pivot data in any format for analysis and generation of customised reports.”
Automatic configuration allows hierarchical data, including tags, alarms and trends already configured in Vijeo Citect systems, to be duplicated and synchronised in Vijeo Historian 4.40. McCutcheon explainss that this eliminates the need to configure and update both systems separately, resulting in considerably reduced configuration and ongoing maintenance time.
Vijeo Historian has extended its access to a wider range of data from scada to enhance the quality and accuracy of reports. Analysis and troubleshooting on system events and alarms is significantly easier as the time stamp is sourced directly from Vijeo Citect. This means accuracy and consistency throughout the system from device to final reports.
“Quick, accurate and efficient access to real-time data means that users at all levels of the organisation can make informed decisions based on comprehensive overviews of their plant,” concludes McCutcheon.
