Redundancy – Ask the Right Questions
There are two primary concepts of redundancy when considering process and automation systems. These are:
- Process redundancy, i.e. storage capacity in a system
- Equipment/Technology Redundancy
Data Management for good SCADA Design
There’s an old saying about Systems data… put rubbish in

Operational Historian vs. Enterprise Historian: What’s the Difference?
Historian systems have seen a rapid increase in use throughout various industries in the past decade or so. Data Historians improve how manufacturers, continuous process plant and utilities operate and manage their assets efficiently. Data Historian systems were built with the specific purpose of acquiring instrumentation data used in operational control, aiding in supervisory capacities,…
Production Performance – Implementing OEE
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a standard method for measuring the improvement opportunity of a production process. It provides a single number that benchmarks a work cell’s performance. A work cell could be a single machine, a group of machines, a line or an entire production facility. OEE directly links to several loss factors that…
Process Historians – Do they have a limited shelf life?
Big data concepts have been embodied inside critical infrastructure companies for nearly two decades. Historian technologies have been used to save our environment and manage the most stringent critical infrastructure in the world. Tier 1 process historians have key features such as high compression, extremely fast data access, API access to proprietary stored data, standard…
Process Historians – It’s just infrastructure?
We have been implementing Enterprise Data Historian to Australian Industry (primarily Infrastructure/Utilities) for the past 16 years and we noticed a few things about most organisations; They do not trust their data or use it effectively Managing data accurately and the impact of data on the organisation is not part of or understood by…
