As a plant or operations manager, you're probably sitting on a pile of process data. Often, data is spread over isolated systems, Excel sheets, paper or other artefacts. This makes it difficult to compare batches, aggregate parameters or detect process anomalies.

Usually, production runs smoothly. But sometimes it doesn’t. In case of e.g. a customer complaint or an emergency, a human being will have to dig into different data sources to find out what went wrong. Without learning how to prevent similar issues in the future.

Not anymore with Factry's process historian.

Historian software

Add context to raw data. Uncover deeper insights.

Abstract process data from the absolute time and approach it from a higher perspective. Factry Historian’s asset-based event module automatically creates records in a SQL database that correspond with critical production events, such as batches, recipe changes, orders, or downtime.

  • Extract deeper insights. Run complex queries on asset data by selecting simple parameters. Get advanced insights on-the-fly.
  • Match the golden batch. Sample historical data on top of real-time events. Find the reasons for variations, and streamline product quality.
  • Bring your own BI tool. Replace complex integration scripts with a generic and easy configurable solution that plugs into any BI tool.
