| No loss of data. |
Many historian software programs use a compression algorithm
that compress the data by only collecting data within a certain limit. The main
problem with this is that the company cannot go back and view the original
data. This means that valuable data can be lost in the process, hurting the
company.
At Canary Labs, we know the value that this data can have,
and how vital it is that there is no loss while collecting it. Our software,
the Canary Historian, compacts the data without losing the resolution. It packs
the data in a compact format that is loss-less. What does this mean? It means
that the data returned from the historian is the same data that was stored.
Canary Labs uses an exclusive method that squeezes the time
series value down
to about six bytes of storage, storing the real history data in a more cost
effective format without the fear of losing that data. Some modeling and
forecasting tools require the real data values instead of approximations to
provide accurate data. The Canary Historian gives you the opportunity to do
this with all the data and not just approximations.
Our philosophy has always been that ‘your data is your
data’. This philosophy has helped build our software. We know the value that
this data can be to a company, so we developed this software as a means to get
all the information to your desk without gaps in the timeline. So if this is
one of your major concerns when looking for the right software to record your
data, you no longer have a reason to be worried.
