Transforming Data into Information

ObX Historian is an advanced real-time data historian optimized for high-frequency time-series data acquisition, compression, and retrieval across industrial and IoT environments. It offers modern visualization and analytics tools while providing a cost-effective, scalable alternative to conventional historians like OSI PI, Canary, and Exaquantum.

It provides native support for standard industrial and IoT protocols, including MQTT, Modbus (TCP and RTU), OPC UA/DA, Ethernet/IP, BACnet/IP, and RESTful Web APIs, ensuring seamless data integration across diverse automation systems.

ObX offers integrated visualization and reporting capabilities, including configurable dashboards, built-in report generation, and seamless Excel connectivity for advanced analytics and automated report scheduling.

The system allows configuration of event triggers, threshold-based rules, and real-time alerts to notify users when process variables deviate from defined limits or exhibit abnormal behavior. Notifications can be delivered through popular channels such as Slack, email, webhooks (for custom integrations), and SMS.

Yes — ObX is designed to scale seamlessly, whether you’re adding more data points, devices, or users. The system architecture grows with your operation without affecting performance. Scalability mainly depends on your server hardware resources, but ObX provides unlimited users and dashboards with no software-imposed limits.

ObX provides REST API support for seamless data export and integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, MES, BI, and analytics platforms, as well as any third-party applications that require access to data stored in ObX Historian.

ObX Collectors temporarily store data locally when connectivity is lost, intelligently handle delayed data packets, and automatically synchronize and merge records to ensure data integrity once the connection is restored.

ObX implements role-based access management, end-to-end encryption for data in transit, and detailed audit logging to ensure secure data access and traceability.

ObX offers comprehensive documentation, tutorials, a knowledge base, and developer guides, complemented by dedicated support from the ObX team.

Pricing is based on the number of tags, data retention period, and optional features such as calculated tags, Excel reporting packages, and multi-organization (multi-tenancy) support.
