With the Time Series template selected, you can select the data point of

interest and drag it onto the template.

Attack process variability with historical knowledge of past performance

Historian provides you with an understanding of how your process is performing. Historian’s complete, pre-designed data model is optimized for time-series data, and Historian also supports the analysis of a wide variety of production data by connecting to any database via ODBC.

Historian provides a set of analysis tools that makes it very easy to analyze any selected time-series data set. Simply select a statistical function and drop it on the target data set in your chart. Rich reporting, graphing, and querying functionality makes Historian a flexible, comprehensive solution for time-series analysis.

Take charge with critical real-time identification of drifting process parameters

With Historian, you can monitor and understand process variability that is critical to maintaining world-class product quality. The underlying RSBizWare foundation provides a rich environment for you to develop in-depth analysis and visualization interfaces for all kinds of manufacturing-related data.

Historian provides an easy way to scale data so that all values of interest fall within a common range. This makes it easy to spot relationships in data sets. And Historian’s sophisticated data-filtering tools provide multiple ways to drill into a data set and find the valuable information.

Historian includes a large set of common statistical analysis tools. You can extend these tools using Visual Basic or C++ to meet your custom needs.

Get the reports you need fast

A comprehensive set of tools is provided to allow you to develop many different kinds of reports.
