How AVEVA Historian Strengthens HMI and SCADA Solutions

Modern HMI and SCADA systems deliver real-time visibility — but real-time alone is not enough.

To truly understand performance, identify trends, and improve control strategies, industrial teams need context, history, and reliability behind every data point. This is where AVEVA Historian becomes a critical extension of HMI and SCADA architectures.

The Limitation of Real-Time-Only HMI and SCADA

HMI and SCADA platforms excel at showing what is happening now. However, without a historian layer, organizations face challenges such as:

• Limited access to historical process data

• Difficulty analyzing recurring alarms and events

• Manual data extraction for reports and audits

• Reactive troubleshooting instead of proactive control

In short: operators can see issues — but struggle to learn from them.

Historical trends inside HMI screens drive confident, data-backed decisions.

AVEVA Historian as the Memory Layer for SCADA and HMI

AVEVA Historian acts as the high-performance data memory behind HMI and SCADA systems.

It continuously captures process values, events, alarms, and calculated data, ensuring that operational information is:

• Stored with high fidelity

• Time-synchronized across systems

• Available instantly for analysis and visualization

With ACE South East Europe designing and optimizing historian architectures, customers ensure performance and reliability at scale.

Enhancing Operator Effectiveness Through Historical Context

When HMI screens are powered by historian data, operators gain more than live values.

They gain:

• Trend analysis directly within HMI displays

• Historical comparisons between shifts, batches, or operating states

• Faster root-cause analysis after disturbances

• Improved confidence in operational decisions

The result: operators move from reacting to understanding.

AVEVA Historian enables trend analysis and root-cause investigation directly from SCADA data.

Improving SCADA Reliability and Performance

AVEVA Historian reduces the load on SCADA systems by offloading historical storage and reporting tasks. This leads to:

• Faster SCADA response times

• Reduced risk of data loss

• Improved system stability

• Better long-term performance

With ACE South East Europe providing lifecycle support, historian-enabled SCADA systems remain robust as operations grow.

Supporting Reporting, Compliance, and Continuous Improvement

HMI and SCADA data stored in AVEVA Historian becomes a trusted source for:

• Production and performance reporting

• Quality analysis and audits

• Energy monitoring

• Continuous improvement initiatives

Instead of manual exports and spreadsheets, teams work with consistent, validated operational data.

AVEVA Historian validates improvements with real evidence.

From Visualization to Operational Intelligence

HMI and SCADA show what is happening. AVEVA Historian explains why it happened — and how to improve it.

Together, they form the foundation of modern industrial operations. With AVEVA technology and the expertise of ACE South East Europe, organizations turn control systems into platforms for long-term performance and insight.
