Honeywell Uniformance Cloud Historian

Honeywell Process Solutions has launched its Honeywell Connected Plant Uniformance Cloud Historian, a software-as-a-service cloud hosting solution for enterprise-wide visualisation and analysis, which is designed to help improve asset availability and increase plant uptime.

Uniformance Cloud Historian fuses the real-time process data analysis of a traditional enterprise historian with a data lake, enabling the integration of production, ERP and other business data coupled with analytics tools to provide business intelligence. This allows enterprise data to be analysed instantly on a larger scale than previously. Such a solution makes it possible to leverage insights found at one plant across all plants, allowing smarter, more strategic decisions to be made.

It collects, stores and enables replay of historical and continuous plant and production site process data and makes it visible in the cloud in near real time. The historian combines a time series data store, which empowers plant and enterprise staff to execute and make decisions, with a big data lake, which enables data scientists to uncover previously unknown correlations between process data and other business data in the enterprise.

The scale and performance delivered through native cloud technology can reduce enterprise information technology costs by up to 25%. Because Uniformance Cloud Historian is built on the Honeywell Sentience Internet of Things Platform, future value may be delivered in the form of additional applications and services.
