Role of Time Series Historian in Industry 4.0

The road to your digitalization journey and the Fourth Industrial Revolution is paved with data integrations. Data is needed when clarifying the big picture, aspiring for predictive maintenance, optimizing and de-bottlenecking processes, or implementing new systems (such as MES or APS). Themes like Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0 are built on moving and combining data, making it accessible in real time. Without data silos, you have a complete, accurate and centralized view of your assets and their current state and health. The ability to visualize your asset performance and process efficiencies anytime and anywhere makes you agile and able to react quickly.
