Stand-alone Historian System for a Chemical Company

A chemical company approached Plant Werx regarding software engineering and commissioning of AVEVATM Historian.

Goals
  • The customer has an existing PLC and HMI system but wants to adopt AVEVA Historian.
  • Deploy a historical data logging system to collect data from an existing PLC-HMI system
Challenges
  • Collating and tallying the data points that need to be historized in the system
Solutions Implemented by Plant Werx
  • AVEVA Historian server-client was deployed
  • Plant Werx supplied
    • Wonderware Historian licenses,
    • Engineering: installation, configuration of tags, trends, and remote desktop connection from internet access.
  • Implemented remote Tier-2 Historian configuration
Results
  • The plant has the capability to collect data for monitoring and analysis, and allow other branches to access the data remotely
  • The new system worked well for the Singapore plant and was later configured to replicate its data to their plant that is based in the US.
