What are industrial data systems and historians?
Industrial data systems and historians collect, store, and exchange production information. Our work includes maintaining existing data systems, recovering historical records, and developing integrations that make information available to other applications.
When do industrial data systems need maintenance?
Industrial data systems need maintenance when information is missing, inaccurate, or no longer available where it’s needed. A collection service might periodically fail to record values. A database may struggle to keep up with increased production load. New equipment and reporting requirements can introduce problems when existing systems weren’t designed to accommodate them.
Older databases and historians can become difficult to maintain as their operating systems and supporting software lose compatibility with newer platforms. Migrating these systems can be complicated by obsolete dependencies and integrations, while continuing to rely on unsupported software increases the risk of prolonged outages or permanent data loss.
How can we help?
We investigate how production information moves through your existing systems and identify the components responsible for collecting, storing, and retrieving it. By examining application configurations, database structures, and communication interfaces, we can locate the source of problems and determine what is needed to repair, extend, or migrate the system without disrupting its existing functionality.
We preserve production data and compatibility with connected applications. We also document the changes so your organization can understand, operate, and maintain the system independently.
