Dynamic changes in processing requirements, increased levels of compliance reporting, Homeland Security requirements, and the pressure to optimize operating budgets all make the information captured and managed by automation systems critical to long-term success of the water system. It is critical to provide efficient access to the automation data and correlate it with other relevant information. Proficy Historian is an optimized database management tool for the capture and retention of time-streamed process data.

Proficy Historian complements RDB technology by providing a more effective repository for this critical data. Ad hoc comparisons of the flow totals for the last three July's become a real-time function due to the advanced compression and retrieval capabilities.

Proficy Real Time Information Portal provides a set of web-interface tools that allow seamless access to automation information and data from other related applications such as LIMS, HVAC, or manpower management. Function-based, customized web pages for the plant manager, operators, quality managers, and shift supervisors can be developed and deployed in a fraction of time of traditional systems.
