Data Historian
Capture, store, and analyze operational data with a high-performance data historian built into GENESIS. The platform delivers secure, scalable time-series data management that transforms operational data into actionable insight across your enterprise.
The Challenge: When Legacy Systems Hold Back Modern Operations
Traditional historian deployments often rely on siloed systems that require separate tools for analytics, reporting, and visualization. These fragmented architectures limit enterprise-wide data aggregation and reduce security, flexibility, and visibility.
Organizations face growing pressure to support site-level requirements and enable broader corporate data strategies, all at a lower total cost of ownership. When data management systems cannot scale, integrate with existing operational technology, or adapt to changing requirements, organizations lose visibility, efficiency, and control.
Common Challenges
- Siloed systems requiring separate analytics and visualization tools
- Limited ability to aggregate data across sites and enterprise networks
- Fragmented architectures that increase complexity and total cost
- Inflexible systems that can't adapt to evolving requirements
- Security and integration constraints across modern IT environments
Resulting Business Impact
- Higher total cost of ownership from multiple disconnected systems
- Delayed insights from fragmented data across tools and platforms
- Increased security risks from outdated architectures
- Limited scalability preventing enterprise-wide data strategies
- Slower deployment and maintenance requiring specialized expertise
Modern historian solutions must support site-level performance while enabling enterprise-wide data aggregation, maintaining security, and reducing complexity.
The Solution: GENESIS Data Historian
GENESIS includes a built-in, high-performance data historian designed for secure, scalable operational data management. The platform captures, stores, and processes time-series data while providing native visualization, analysis, reporting, alarming, and notifications in a single, unified environment. The platform architecture supports flexible deployment and integration with existing systems and networks, enabling both site-level performance and enterprise-wide data strategies without added complexity.

Real-World Results
De Keizer Marine Engineering
Super Yacht Automation
De Keizer Marine Engineering uses GENESIS Historian capabilities to support fast, reliable yacht automation projects where safety, performance, and data visibility are critical. By capturing and structuring operational data across complex onboard systems, engineers gain clear historical insight into alarms, power usage, and system behaviour—enabling faster commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimisation across vessels.
Result highlights:
- Faster project delivery through automated data configuration and reuse
- Improved system visibility across engines, power, and safety systems
- Reduced engineering effort through automated file and data generation
- Greater operational confidence through historical insight into alarms and system performance
"Due to the object-oriented nature of the platform and the ability to automate configuration and import data, we can easily work with a team of engineers and deliver programming quite quickly."
Jeroen van Goethem
Manager of Automation, De Keizer Marine Engineering
Aksa Natural Gas Distribution
Oil and Gas
Aksa Natural Gas Distribution uses GENESIS Historian capabilities to gain real-time and historical visibility across a vast natural gas distribution network spanning thousands of regulating and metering stations. By capturing and managing high-volume operational data, Aksa ensures accurate monitoring of pressure, gas quality, and consumption while supporting fast response to critical alarms across geographically distributed assets.
Result highlights:
- Configuration time for RMS systems reduced from hours to seconds
- Centralised monitoring of 120,000+ active tags across the network
- Improved accuracy of gas quality calculations across different station types
- Seamless integration with Oracle and SQL databases for consumption analysis
"What previously would have taken two hours to configure within one RMS system now takes 10 seconds.."
