Factry Historian v7.1 | Steam Functions (using Prototypes) | An overview

This release overview introduces v7.1 of Factry Historian, with a focus on new steam function calculations made possible via Prototypes. These allow users to calculate energy usage, enthalpy, or steam flow using built-in formulas — no need to script it manually.The video demonstrates how Prototypes work: reusable, parameterized calculation templates that can be applied across machines or production lines. In this case, steam-related values like pressure, temperature, and condensate are turned into real-time performance insights with just a few inputs.It’s a major step forward for teams in food & beverage or chemicals, where thermal energy metrics are critical for compliance, efficiency, and optimization.
