Wonderware Historian.
- On premise:
- Cloud:
  - Invensys Software "Cloud for Industry Solutions".
- Though the Wonderware Historian has a SQL interface and so looks to be a SQL server, it stores its data in the filesystem, in high-compressed files. By this, Wonderware Historian provides a much higher data transfer rate than a SQL server ( it was able to store 40.000 datapoints/s even in 1995 ?! ) and just requires for datastorage just 3% - 5% of the filespace necessary for a SQL server. Even with the new “Wonderware Online Edition”, the data is stored in the filesystem of Microsoft Asure, though the service imitates to be a SQL server in the cloud.
- Wonderware Historian is shipped with a Microsoft SQL server, but the SQL server is not used for storing datapoints, but just for stuff like this:
  1. Configuration.
  2. Security.
  3. Storage of Alarm messages.
- It is possible to host the “Wonderware Data Acquisition Server” separately from the “Wonderware Historian”.

OpenMES & Open Source MES

OpenMES - Definition

Definition “MES stands for Manufacturing Execution Sstem. 'Open' means here that the interfaces among various seminconductor tools are made publicly standardized and compatible. To accomplish such openess, CORBA ( Common Object Request Broker Architecture ) played a very important role. 'which enables and regulates interoperatiblity between objects and applications across heterogeneous languages and computer boundaries' ( Lin & Jeng, 2006 )”

Literature

Jens Reimann, Michael Schäfer, Christoph Schmidtbauer, Peter Schoner: “MES: Anforderungen, Architektur und Design mit Java, Spring & Co” → See Manufacturing Execution Systems ( MES ) 4/5 - Literature.

Integration Methods

Synchronisation ( replication of data sources, no direct access to the datasources ).
Event-orientied synchronisation.
Synchronisation by batch operation.
Adaption ( direct access to external datasources or external services ).
Service proxy ( link to the synchronous ERP world.
Event adaptor ( link to asynchronous SCADA connections ).
