OPC Technology Helps Maximize Return on Process Historian Assets

Off-line process history analysis using a process historian and a set of analysis tools has indeed proven to reduce costs and provide vital production tracking. OPC has provided a standardized solution to real-time data collection. Real time data sources are accessed using the OPC standard interface. Historian vendors no longer need to focus on data collection, or data visualization and presentation due to the widely adopted OPC HDA specification. Using OPC, organizations are free to choose, not only what vendor supplies the data analysis and presentation tools, they are also free to choose the vendor or vendors that supply the process historians for the organization. OPC HDA enables a true distributed historian solution.

Description:
Off-line analysis of historical process data is an integral part of process optimization and production tracking. OPC helps maximize return on process history investments. OPC not only provides a standardized mechanism for collection of real time process data, it also enables multi-vendor historical analysis solutions. OPC facilitates highly scalable multi-vendor distributed historian architectures. OPC Data Access (DA) and OPC Historical Data Access (HDA) are two specifications that can be combined to solve many of the process history problems.
