zenon Historian 360: A robust Data Historian

 

The modern manufacturing industry is a dynamic environment where information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) intersect. Today's Internet of Things (IoT) sensors have made it possible to gather and analyze more data than ever before, yet parsing and using raw, unstructured data can be challenging for traditional database programs built to manage relationships. As a result, demand has grown for tools capable of meeting the specific process data collection, archival and analysis needs conventional databases can't fulfill.

 

Enter the full-featured process historian: zenon Historian 360, a real-time solution to a successful combination of IT and OT.

 

zenon Historian 360 powers plant activities such as diagnostics, maintenance, energy management, and alarms. Customer-centric storage and retrieval of data is at the heart of zenon Historian 360, enabling an easier way to compliantly store and use data in industrial environments. Reliable, efficient, and with unparalleled connectivity for industrial use cases.

What can the zenon Historian 360 do for you?

 

zenon Historian 360 can be used for a variety of use cases. Monitor and log information such as network bandwidth, fluid levels, pressure levels, fan temperatures, limit switches, and valve positions in a variety of settings such as food and beverage plants, chemical plants, power plants, automotive factories, pharmaceutical manufacturing, water management, and environmental control. Track whether a product is profitable, how its production runs, and if there were any problems during the manufacturing process.

  • The most convenient way to connect to a myriad of industrial and other data sources.
  • Maintain data compliance.    
  • Robust analytics and visualization enable you to put your data to work for you.    
  • Data contextualization capabilities make data more valuable for insights and future decision-making.

 

Data-driven sustainability

 

Use zenon Historian 360 to drive your sustainability initiatives. Capture and use process data that enables you to build robust dependability by monitoring and enhancing the performance of your assets. Understand complicated information about asset performance. Track production and other performance metrics against energy use. Optimize material use. Leverage information to drive improvement and deliver on your sustainability goals.

 

GraphQL Interface

 

 GraphQL is an http-based query language for structured data. You can use this interface to query metadata, alarms, events and process data. GraphQL makes it very easy to process and automate workflows and business processes. It is easy to use due to an integrated playground which contains the database scheme and the documentation. The GraphQL interface is particularly useful when querying complex data compared to, for example, a REST API. Using GraphQL, a single request is sufficient to obtain all the relevant data.

 

The Swinging Door Compression Algorithm

 

This algorithm is used to make a reduction of the archived values and still keep the curve as accurate as possible. 


From an initial value, the next value is recorded and discarded if it is within the definable tolerance range. If this is not the case, it is left in the archive and used as the new output value. The tolerance range is defined as a triangle of the distance between the initial value and the next value including the tolerance values.

 

This algorithm provides an effective way to reduce large amounts of data while preserving important information. Peak values can also be preserved while the rest of the curve is reduced.
