The First Low Cost, High Performance, Store and Forward Historian Appliance
Portland, ME and Richland, WA, Nov 8, 2011 – WingTip LLC, in
combination with Canary Labs and Kepware Technologies, today introduced
the hBOX, a wireless severe duty historian appliance. The hBOX is
the first product on the market to combine low cost with enterprise
class historian performance in a ready to use appliance. A member
of the PlantMESH™ 802.11b/g/n Ethernet wireless mesh network system,
the hBOX is ready for outdoor or indoor use.
The primary goal in developing the hBOX was to provide an operational historian appliance that could be located directly adjacent to the equipment being monitored, rather than using a centralized historian that attempts to capture data over a remote Wide Area Network (WAN) connection, according to David McKay, WingTip Director of PlantMESH Product Development.
“Most
of the geographically distributed industries, such as oil and gas,
mining and utilities need to collect data from remotely located
equipment. In many cases, the connection to the remotely
connected equipment is bandwidth limited and can have reliability
issues," McKay said. Ideally, data loss could be eradicated by
collecting the data locally, then synchronizing the data to the central
historian, a scenario also known as 'Store and Forward' data
collection.
