Improve data reliability and minimize downtime
Solid-state embedded historian module provides critical insight into machine-level performance – even in remote locations.
Our FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition (ME) module, a machine-level data historian designed to help manufacturers mitigate the risk of machine downtime and reach continuous process improvement goals, will soon be available for order.
FactoryTalk Historian ME is an embedded, solid-state module hardened for on-machine data collection that features a limited software footprint, no moving parts and reduced risk of data loss due to network or other system interruption. It helps manufacturers transform manufacturing intelligence into process improvements by leveraging reliable, real-time production data.
We designed FactoryTalk Historian ME as part of a distributed, tiered architecture that allows employees in different locations and at different operating levels to view and analyze role-appropriate historical data. Operators, for example, can view data from the specific machine they are using, while plant-level supervisors can view individual machines or complete lines to build real-time comparisons against standards and assess critical batch or process performance. Meanwhile, senior management can use the same technology to develop executive dashboards that compare key performance indicators (KPIs) of production activity across multiple locations.
A stand-alone design makes FactoryTalk Historian ME ideal for remote data capture in challenging environments such as drilling rigs, wells and other previously inaccessible locations. It helps to reduce implementation time significantly because the module is directly installed in the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix backplane, then auto-detects the controllers, and configures all relevant tags to be historized. The application also leverages backplane communication to increase the speed of data collection and provide more granular data than is possible on a traditional, network-connected plant historian.
FactoryTalk Historian ME allows machine builders to pre-qualify the data collection of their machines to speed up on-site installation, configuration and validation efforts. Data capture capabilities produce granular, historical data that helps provide effective sequence of events analysis, improving both product quality and customer satisfaction. For machine builders in highly-regulated industries, FactoryTalk Historian ME helps provides continuous uptime and reliability to help meet government regulations.
