I4 Historian captures, stores and analyzes data from your PLCs, sensors and SCADA systems in real time. Calculate OEE automatically and make data-driven decisions — built on open technologies.
What is I4 Historian?
Unlike proprietary systems (PI System, Canary), I4 Historian has no cost per data point or per user. Built on open technologies your team can own and scale freely.
Eliminate proprietary licenses. Scale your infrastructure without paying per data point or per user. Your data, your stack.
Connect PLCs from any vendor — Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider, Fatek — via OPC UA, Modbus TCP and other industrial protocols.
Operational dashboards in Grafana accessible from any browser on any device. No software installation on workstations required.
Availability, Performance and Quality calculated automatically from your PLC data. Identify bottlenecks and reduce downtime without manual logging.
Structured, accessible data for predictive maintenance models, anomaly detection and production optimization. A solid foundation for Industry 4.0.
Deploy on your local server, VPS or cloud (AWS, Azure). You choose according to your data security policy. Full technology autonomy.
OEE — Overall Equipment Effectiveness
OEE is the gold standard KPI for industrial equipment efficiency. I4 Historian calculates it automatically from your real PLC data — no spreadsheets, no manual recording.
What I4 Historian delivers for OEE
Automatic real-time OEE by shift, line and machine
Downtime classification by cause: failure, changeover, material shortage
OEE combined with energy efficiency indicators
Production loss quantified in units and time — no manual entry
Real success stories
Implemented in manufacturing, food & beverage, chemicals, paper and steel industries.
Pulp & Paper · Chile
CMPC operated a proprietary historian with high licensing costs, limited multi-user capacity and no integration with modern analytics tools.
Chemical Industry · Chile
AJAY SQM had low visibility of critical process variables. Data was trapped in PLCs with no centralized access, no history and no integration with corporate systems.
Implementation
Proven process across 30+ industrial plants in Chile and Latin America.
We audit your PLCs, protocols, critical variables and OT network architecture.
We propose the optimal tech stack: OPC UA, Modbus, InfluxDB, Grafana for your case.
Full installation and configuration integrated with your existing PLCs — no production downtime.
Operational panels and OEE reports adapted to each role in your organization.
Team training and ongoing support to evolve the system as your plant grows.
Free evaluation
Tell us your situation and we'll propose an architecture at no cost. We respond within 24 hours.
No need to replace equipment. We connect what you already have.
Operational dashboard running before 15 days.
Open stack. No cost per tag or data point.
