The Wonderware Historian — is a high-performance real-time and historical database for Geo-SCADA or factory data. It combines the power and flexibility of a relational database with the speed and compression of a real-time system, integrating the office with the factory floor. As an extension of Microsoft SQL Server, Wonderware's Historian acquires plant data at dramatically increased speeds, reducing data storage volumes. It also integrates plant data with event, summary, production and configuration data.

Since its introduction in 1997, there have been more than 20,000 installations of Wonderware Historians, making it one of the world's most popular production data historians. The Wonderware Historian is at the core of Wonderware's performance management solutions.

The Wonderware Historian and associated data analysis tools provide plant decision-makers with immediate access to detailed, real-time plant information, which leads to performance improvement. The Wonderware Historian provides a complete picture of your plant's processes because it automatically acquires real-time production data, at high speeds and full resolution, from multiple simultaneous data sources. With this level of visibility, subtle process inefficiencies and product-quality problems can be corrected immediately.

Incorporating Microsoft's SQL Server technology, the Wonderware Historian can seamlessly integrate data from other plant and business systems, providing a common point of access for production data and a single interface between production and business systems. The Wonderware Historian has been scaled to provide value to industrial enterprises of all sizes, and a complementary suite of data analysis tools offers analysis and reporting out of the box.
