About
The Purdue Model is the gold standard for an effective industrial data system that securely passes process data from control systems to plant and enterprise level analytics. Data historians sit squarely at the heart of this infrastructure, and there are a variety of ways to configure and utilize these critical components. This webinar introduces some best practices you can use for effective data historian design by looking at the Purdue Model from a modern perspective. We’ll also demonstrate how implementing these recommendations can give you better, faster insights that will prepare your operation for AI success.
