Digital Transformation Is Disrupting Operational Historian Market

This report offers information on real-time process historian suppliers and data platform suppliers with a comprehensive assessment of the marketplace.  The market research provides strategic information for planning through the year 2025.  Some of the reasons for implementing operational historians is to access and integrate process data to make data-driven decisions, and for a data platform with better security and connectivity.  This research covers both traditional historians and newer open source data bases in both the discrete and process industries.

Operational historians read, write and store streaming time series production data.  The new generation operational historian supports analysis and decision-making by storing data on-site, in the Cloud, in the edge, or in a data lake.   

Digital transformation and Industry 4.0 are increasing data usage and driving real-time process historian usage.  Enterprise historians are being deployed to compare data across plants, sites, or the entire enterprise.  Today’s data platforms need to be able to combine data sources and integrate data from multiple sources. 

The most important new technologies and market conditions affecting the market include increases in data volume, edge data storage, new enterprise data platforms, embedded analytics, digital twins, better connectivity, data management tools, and data models.
