Data Historian

High-speed, fault-tolerant logging to databases such as MS SQL Server, Oracle, mySQL, SQL Azure, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, MariaDB, SQLite, InfluxDB, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Google Firebase, and MS Access. Log IIoT data to multiple destinations at once with Store and Forward functionality to local and remote databases in an open format.

Product Overview

The OAS Data Historian software allows you to log data to SQL Server, Oracle, MS Access, MySQL, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, MariaDB, SQLite, InfluxDB, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Google Firebase, and CSV files.  Supporting both time series data and event based data recording in an open format for easy retrieval.

Platform Components

Universal Data Connector

The core of the OAS Platform, enabling data connectivity, server-to-server networking, and more

Data Historian

Log data in open format to MS SQL Server, Oracle, mySQL, PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, MongoDB, SQLite, MariaDB, Access, SQL Azure, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Google Firebase, and CSV files

Alarm Logging & Notification

Log events to open databases, and send notifications via SMS, email, and voicemail

Device & Data Connectors

Read and write data to Allen Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus devices, Universal Drivers, OPC, OPC UA, databases, Excel, and read MTConnect.

IoT Connectors

Connect to cloud-base IoT gateways such as AWS, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hubs, Kafka, MQTT, and Sparkplug B

Visualization Tools

Build custom Visualizations, User Interfaces, HMIs and Dashboards for Windows, web, as well as native iOS and Android devices

SDKs & APIs

Develop custom automation apps for Windows, web, and mobile devices. Integrate with .NET and REST APIs. Build custom integrated device drivers.

Networking Features

Provides the most robust, scalable, and reliable distributed networking platform for IIoT solutions

Reliability

Never lose data on network or database engine failure. The OAS Data Historian buffers data in real time. If communications is lost to the destination database, or if the destination is unavailable for any reason, no data is lost. As soon as communications are reestablished, all data is transferred at high speed.

Supported Databases

Log data to one or more locations simultaneously, each with configurable parameters so data is targeted for each destination data store. Data can be logged to a wide variety of Database Engines as well as CSV files.

  • MS SQL Server
  • Oracle
  • mySQL
  • SQL Azure
  • MongoDB
  • MariaDB
  • PostgreSQL
  • Cassandra
  • SQLite
  • InfluxDB
  • Amazon Aurora
  • Amazon RDS
  • Amazon Redshift
  • Google Firebase
  • MS Access (Windows only)
  • CSV Files

Supported Data Sources

OAS supports a large library of Industry 4.0 data sources including Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs, Modbus and MTConnect devices, OPC UA and DA Servers and Clients, Databases, applications, and more.

Automated Data Source Setup

Setup data sources manually, automatically, programmatically, or using CSV file import.

Data Visualization and Reporting

Open data can be accessed directly in user interface and other applications.
The OAS platform has the following additional components that can consume and visualize any open historical data.

Trend .NET 

Visualize real time and historical data in WPF and WinForm applications. Build customizable, interactive data explorers using Visual Studio, and any .NET language such as C# and VB.NET

Web Trend

Visualize real time and historical data in web and mobile applications. Deliver interactive web-based data interfaces with HTML, CSS, and Javascript in any web application environment

Reports

Automate the generation of reports and deliver them in multiple at custom intervals (e.g. hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly). Deliver reports as Word or Excel documents, PDFs, and HTML files or even sent directly to a networked printer

Networking

The data source can be local or remote without exposing your database. With OAS store and forward feature built in you will never lose records on an network failure. OAS implements edge computing with its Distributed Network Architecture to process and retain data at the source for up to 1 million data points per OAS Data Engine.
