Store & Forward Technology
Offline servers and broken networks won't mean your data is lost. Your data will write to the local disk if the historian is unavailable and automatically backfill once the connection is reestablished.
Canary Historian
At the center of the Canary System is the Canary Historian, a NoSQL proprietary time series database that is simply better than the competition.
Log Millions of Tags

Apply Context to Your Data
Without context, data is overwhelming. With context, data is power. Canary is built to turn data into actionable information from day one.
Make virtual data models of the Historian with Virtual Views. Easily organize your tags into asset models, and adjust the tag naming structure. Views are the hub of all your data — every Canary service and third-party application that needs data from the Historian uses Views.
Asset Modeling
With Canary, you model data post-archiving, creating license-free and risk-free models based on how your team needs to consume information.
Calcs Server
Use tags already stored in the Historian to create new calculated tags, backfill included, without wasting time in SCADA or PLC.
Events
Create rules to monitor condition-based asset events, writing event and statistical data to a SQL database.
