Historization

Store, Analyze, and Access Process Data Anytime

Production companies often waste valuable time and resources due to unsystematic data storage or inaccessible data.


Our historization solutions provide transparency by centralizing and securely archiving process data. This allows for a clear representation of processes and trends, forming the basis for deep analysis and identification of optimization opportunities. At the same time, historical data enhances the traceability and auditability of your processes, simplifying audits and documentation.


With this structure, we lay the foundation for data-driven decisions that will optimize your processes in the long term.

  • Which Systems Can Be Integrated Through Data Integration?

    We connect production, quality, and IT data into a consistent system—regardless of the manufacturer. This includes:


    • ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Microsoft Dynamics)
    • MES & SCADA systems (e.g., AVEVA, Siemens, Emerson, Rockwell)
    • Databases & cloud services
    • Sensors & OT infrastructure (e.g., PLC, IoT, Edge devices)

  • How Complex Is the Implementation of a Data Integration Solution?

    It depends on your existing system architecture. Our modular solutions allow for step-by-step integrations, meaning no complete system overhaul is required.

  • How Scalable Is the Data Platform?

    Our solutions grow with the demands of your production. With cloud connectivity and flexible scaling options, your data management can keep pace with future production requirements.
