IDHIntegration & Data
Industrial Data Historian
Every value, at full resolution, ready for analytics and AI. A modern time-series data platform that captures plant data at full resolution, keeps years of history affordable and serves it in context to trends, KPIs, analytics and AI.
The challenge
Process data scattered across controllers, local HMIs and spreadsheets is hard to trust and harder to use. Traditional historians keep data in closed formats, gaps appear during network outages, and missing context makes investigations, reporting and data science slow and expensive.
Overview
IDH is a modern time-series historian built for industrial scale. It collects values from PLCs, DCS, SCADA and IIoT devices at the resolution you need, buffers them through network outages, and stores years of history efficiently with automatic time partitioning, compression and retention policies.
Every value carries the context of its site, area, line and equipment through an ISA-95 asset model. Continuous rollups keep dashboards and KPIs fast, and open SQL and API access lets engineers, data scientists and business intelligence and AI tools use the data without proprietary connectors. IDH feeds our Manufacturing Intelligence, OEE, SPC and Energy Management applications and publishes to your Unified Namespace.

Ask IDH in plain language
LS Assistant, the AI assistant in every Logical Systems application, answers questions from your live IDH records and shows the sources behind every answer. It keeps learning as your records, work instructions and resolved issues grow, and your data is never used to train AI models.
Answers with sources
Every answer cites the records and work instructions it used.
Your role, your site
It sees only what each user is allowed to see.
Asks before it acts
Every change it proposes needs a person's confirmation and is audited.
