Key Functionalities
Canary Historian Embedded
Starting from version 9.2, Canary Historian comes bundled with our platform, offering 100 tags without any additional charges, which can be upgraded to larger systems. We seamlessly log and retrieve data to and from the Historian using native .NET APIs, ensuring robust performance, security, and functionality. Canary Historian is also tightly integrated with Tatsoft Asset Modeling, enabling the creation of Trends, Dashboards, and Advanced Data Applications using Client Tools. An upgrade option is also available for unlimited tags.
Multiple Historians
In addition to our embedded SQL and Canary historians, we collaborate with all major industry players such as OSISoftPI and InfluxDB, among others. We don't restrict projects to a single historian; instead, you can utilize multiple data sources simultaneously as needed.

Universal Time and Daylight Saving
These features, as described for Alarms and Events,
The tag historian module provides real-time and historical data for analysis, which helps users optimize their manufacturing processes, improve quality control, and reduce downtime. It is a powerful tool for industrial automation and control, and it can be used in a wide range of applications, including energy management, water treatment, and production monitoring.

OSIsoftTM PI System Database
For high-performance, large applications, instead of a SQL database, it is possible to keep tag historians on the PI System database. The pure .NET SDK level connection with PI (no COM, OPC, or OLEDB required) provides high performance and single-click tag definition synchronization.

intervals. This ensures that your data management, powered by our platform, is well-equipped to adapt to future advancements in networks and data acquisition devices
...
. It's prepared for long-term usage and process enhancements.
Real-time SPC Calculation
With real-time SPC (Statical Process Control) calculation, it is possible to set up control charts and process capability analysis for any process parameter measured in real-time, such as temperature, pressure, or flow rate. The system constantly monitors the process data and alerts the user if any parameter goes out of control or if there is any deviation in the process from its standard performance.
