Organizations looking for a time series database built for industrial automation

About Canary Historian

The beauty of the Canary Historian is that the same solution works as well on site as it does for the entire enterprise. You can log data locally, while sending it to your enterprise historian simultaneously. Best of all, as you grow, so does the solution. A single Canary Historian can log more than two million tags, and multiple Canary Historians can be clustered to handle tens of millions of tags. Enterprise historian solutions can be hosted in your own data centers or in AWS and Azure. And, unlike other enterprise historian solutions, Canary Historians don't require specialized teams of ten and more to maintain them. The Canary Historian is a NoSQL time series database that uses loss-less compression algorithms to provide you the best of both worlds, high-speed performance without requiring data interpolation!

    "Full Performant Solution for Industrial Automation" Posted 2026-05-06

    Pros: There's no issue with scaling the historian to handle more tags. Canary has a licensing model that gives you the option to own your solution. You can install all client tools remotely. Axiom is also a great HTML-based visualization tool for all of our dashboarding needs. The entire system was easy to deploy and the safe option for large-scale operation monitoring.

    Cons: Native reporting is relatively light. Creating complex, formatted compliance reports often requires scripting.

    Overall: It's never been easier to work through evaluating, purchasing, and implementing a Data Historian. The licensing model is fair, and you don't feel nickel-and-dimed for every new user you want to give access to a dashboard.
