If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then video must be worth a million. If you couldn't make it to the stadium, arena or ballpark: would you rather listen to the game on radio or watch it on TV? Watch it on TV, of course, because so much more information is transmitted quickly without the need of interpretation or translation.
The eye is a very sensitive and discriminating sensor. Video enhances the context of plant information, and it is a very efficient and effective means of communication.
With the Longwatch Video Historian, you can use video to give you more (and better) information about why your process acted the way it did.
The Video Historian combines Longwatch video with the data collected by your historical data trending system. Using standard time synchronizing techniques, you can automatically move through the video, watching the data trends at the same time. The Video Historian also links video with messages from your productivity and alarm management applications. It's the modern way of having many operators and technicians on hand, ready to report what they saw... all electronically and automatically!
