A lot of Canary System administrators want to offer their organization reports based on asset conditions.  Since Version 17, the Canary Data Historian has featured an Events service that will help you accomplish this task. 

Battling inefficiencies and trying to save money is important to every industrial process. It is frustrating that most companies first have to invest a large amount of capital to equip themselves with SCADA solutions and data historians in order to find ways to run more efficiently.

We recently met Dr. Patrick Bangert, CEO of Algorithmica Technologies and discussed how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can benefit process manufacturers. As an expert in advanced analytics, predictive and prescriptive maintenance, and 

As you can imagine, we speak with a lot of clients and potential customers that are very interested in machine learning. I remember the first time I was exposed to the concept, what an incredible step in technology! My mind was racing with the possibilities, and frankly, still is.

For redundancy, it is recommended you push data from the Canary Collecter and Sender Service to both a primary and secondary Historian’s Receiver Services.  This means that both the primary and secondary Historian are getting the same constant data feed from any Canary Collector.
