Longwatch Video Historian
Provides a visual context to your recorded system data, the video can show multiple variables; speed, distance, rate of change, limits, and sequences all simultaneously and unambiguously. Video Historian is a state-of-the-art tool which supplements control system data with quickly accessed, intuitive video. The Video Historian records video automatically and integrates the recorded video with various manufacturing databases, thus providing managers and operators with a wealth of timely, additional information for making better decisions that save time, money, and effort. Unlike other systems that only provide an ActiveX control that requires labor-intensive scripting, the Longwatch Video Historian automatically connects video to our databases including:
- Real-time process database
- Data historian (historical trending)
- Alarm and event messages
- Batch management messages
- Workflow tracking messages
- Maintenance system messages
