RSBizWare™ Historian™ helps manufacturers of all types and sizes increase quality, reduce waste, and better control manufacturing processes. How? Simply by harnessing the vast volume of data produced by the control systems that run their plants. Historian provides a reliable and easy-to-configure data collection and analysis solution that ensures that the right people can see the information they need to make the best business decisions possible.

Using FactoryTalk® technologies shared by Rockwell Software products, RSBizWare Historian can connect to any control systems or Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software and collect data at high speed, in real-time, and at full resolution. Built-in web reporting capabilities and analysis tools expose this data to operators, supervisors, quality managers, or even personnel outside the plant.
