Process Data Collection & Central Storage
As if your process is in one place
Achieving operational excellence requires you to collect and optimize vast amounts of data from across your operations for true process visualization.
Usually multiple data sources exists in a production plan. These data sources are physically distributed to multiple locations, but still central to the process monitoring, reporting and optimization. Novotek helps you with hardware and software for collecting the data from each source and store it reliably and centrally. From central data storage you can create reports, show trends and monitor alarms.
Our solution is based on an overall concept that collects the data from local datasources and securely sends it over wireless connections to the central storage - data historian - for processing. The central data storage saves costs and allows a better overall process view for you personnel.
