AVANT energy solutions provide its services for the implementation of historians. A data historian is a software program that records the data of processes running in a computer system.

In situations where dependability and uptime are crucial, data historians are frequently used. These programs are used to gather data about how other applications are running in order to identify errors. Datacenters and industrial control systems are the most common places to find data historians.

Data historians are frequently included in the software of systems used in a number of procedures, such as:

• chemical factories
• Datacenter
• Quality assurance
• Power plant and boiler controls
• environmental management
• management of water
• Agriculture
• consuming and preparing food
• Automobile production
• Plants for refining sugar

Data historians gather information from a variety of sensors, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, lab instruments, and manually entered data.
