Adding collectors | Factry Historian Training Video | Historian Basics

This training video walks you through how to add a new data collector to Factry Historian — the component responsible for gathering data from OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, or other industrial protocols. You’ll learn how to configure the source, define tag mappings, and verify real-time connectivity.The video emphasizes the modularity and openness of Factry’s architecture: adding a collector doesn’t require redeploying the whole system, and new data sources can be integrated on the fly. This is especially useful for growing factories, integrators onboarding new lines, or teams modernizing in phases.It also shows how collector health is monitored and how you can scale ingestion without compromising performance.
