Software Helps Manage Unlimited Data Storage

By DE Editors

September 11, 2007 – Canary Labs’ (Martinsburg, PA) latest release of Trend Historian (Version 7.0) eases collecting, storing, managing, and automatically validating unlimited quantities of information to end-users.

Collection files can be compressed into daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly files with no data loss. Time-series data is stored and retrieved in its original resolution. The data can be archived and moved automatically to other systems with the proper disk capacity on the network while still providing immediate access to this data for the users. The Trend Historian also provides continuous background validation of data files to ensure data integrity.

Trend Historian will provide unlimited visibility into the manufacturing operations by accurately accumulating gathered data. This information can improve companies’ operational flexibility and performance. The Historian is scalable from 100 tags to more than 100,000 tags on one machine and includes dataset synchronization to duplicate information to other systems.

This release includes Trend Link, Trend Web, Trend Calc, and Trend Export; the Canary software is built around the OPC standards assuring interoperability and eliminating the need for expensive custom interfaces and drivers for moving information between systems.
