"Faster, more reliable, more flexible, more cost effective, more expandable"

Truly Industrial Process Control Historian
The jHistorian is the only non-proprietary historian capable of storing large amounts of process control information efficiently into non-proprietary relational databases like Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL or MS Access.
Connect directly to your existing process control system

j5Historian will connect to any system that supports OPC the standard industrial connection interface. This means that whether you have a Foxboro, Bailey, Honeywell, Yokogawa, ABB, F&P DCS (or in fact any modern DCS), jHistorian will connect to it. Likewise, if your PLC is an Allen Bradley, Siemens, Modicon, Square D, Omron or any OPC compatible PLC, then jHistorian will also connect to it. Likewise, modern SCADA systems like Wonderware, PI, Citect, Adroit and others all provide OPC connectivity.

Compatible with your corporate database standard
jHistorian stores data into your choice of database including Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL and MS Access. Additionally, j5Historian will run on Microsoft Windows or Linux.

Fast, Efficient, Transparent Data Storage
jHistorian can store in excess of a million tags a minute directly into easily accessible relational databases. j5Historian also maintains the database so that there is no need for excessive maintenance on the database.

Auto-Configuration
jHistorian will automatically read the tag database from the OPC source and create the database tables. This means you can get your system up and running in a minimal amount of time.

Simple Database Table Structure
jHistorian stores the data using a simple, clear database structure so you can start using the data immediately in your applications. The databases are 100% standard, the table structure is published and the system creates the tables automatically.

Powerful Visibility Toolbox
Since jHistorian stores the information directly into the relational database of your choice, (rather than in a proprietary format), you have at your disposal a large array of visibility and manipulation tools. These include:

• A powerful web based trend viewer that enables anyone on the Intranet to see the information without having to load any software on their machines,
• A clear and simple exporting facility to Excel,
• An Ad-hoc web publishing tool so reports can be made up quickly and made viewable to anyone on the network,
• A suite of applications that enable historical information to be imported into data entry applications like operator logbooks and shift reports,
• The native visibility tools of the database itself,
• Various third party database visibility and data mining tools like Crystal Reports, QTADO and others.

Highly Scalable and will connect to multiple data sources
jHistorian will function efficiently and reliable in small systems (with as little as 100 tags) and just as efficiently with many hundreds of thousands of tags. Additionally, jHistorian will connect to many OPC sources simultaneously. This means you can start small and progressively automate your site without worrying about hitting a limit.

Unlimited number of data sources ..... Unlimited Users
Connect many OPC sources to your jHistorian and allow 10, 25 or many more users to view the data.

Linking Multiple Sites

Our Corporate Visibility Suiteenables you to link multiple sites and roll up all the historical data into a central data warehouse. Here, there are web based modules like our j5 Dashboard which will provide a corporate wide view of all the information.

Flexible database storage facilities
Choose the storage rate of data or have multiple storage rates. Choose whether you want maximums, minimums, averages or samples. Choose whether you want to store events.....all in the standard relational database.

Clear, Powerful Application Programming Interface (API)
A logical and powerful Application Interface means you can not only view data, but write data into the historian database. (For example, to write model corrected data or remote time delayed information.)

OEM and Customizing Services
j5Historian is ideal to be embedded as an OEM product. Because of its clear and logical structure, customized features are also easily incorporated.

Choice of Support Facilities
Choose from economical e-mail support right up to 24x7 support via our industrial engineers.

Cost Effective Pricing Structure
Pricing from less than a dollar per tag means your requirements can be met within your budget.
