Enterprise Historian is a suite of software for managing historical and real-time
process/production information, and integrating your various enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution, and automation systems. Information management/integration capabilities include:
• collection and storage of historical process and production data
• presentation of process and production information via reports and displays
• data distribution
