The Flexy gateway pulls data from any supported PLC from ABB, Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Eaton and others. Canary’s Enterprise Historian is configured to pull PLC data from Flexy’s embedded OPC-UA server, and data flows automatically from Flexy directly to the Canary Historian.
Canary’s Process Historian is a full featured Time Series Historian designed to be easy to use and maintain. The Canary solutions offer Asset Model and Axiom, two software applications which enable quick and easy model building. Data from installed equipment is used to build a “digital twin” in Asset Model and Axiom allows the user to visualize the asset model. The assets can be monitored and tracked for unusual activity during the complete process and measured against defined limits. The events are then logged in the Canary Database for future analytics.
“The more we use Axiom, the more we’re discovering advantages. The sky is the limit for our possibilities.”
