[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPC_Historical_Data_Access|OPC Historical Data Access]]

 

This group of standards, created by the OPC Foundation, provides COM specifications for communicating data from devices and applications that provide historical data, such as databases. The specifications provides for access to raw, interpolated and aggregate data (data with calculations).

OPC Historical Data Access, also known as OPC HDA, is used to exchange archived process data. This is in contrast to the OPC Data Access (OPC DA) specification that deals with real-time data. OPC technology is based on client / server architecture. Therefore, an OPC client, such as a trending application or spreadsheet, can retrieve data from an OPC compliant data source, such as a historian, using OPC HDA.

Similar to the OPC Data Access specification, OPC Historical Data Access also uses Microsoft's DCOM to transport data. DCOM also provides OPC HDA with full security features such as user authentication and authorization, as well as communication encryption services. OPC HDA Clients and Servers can reside on separate PCs, even if they are separated by a firewall. To do this, system integrators must configure DCOM properly as well as open ports in the firewall. If using the Windows firewall, users only need to open a single port.

What is DA?
The OPC Data Access Specification is the first of a group of specifications, known as the OPC Specifications.
OPC Data Access is a group of standards that provides specifications for communicating real-time data from data acquisition devices such as PLCs to display and interface devices like Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). The specifications focus on the continuous communication of data.
The OPC Data Access specification is also known as OPC DA. OPC DA deals only with real-time data and not historical data (for historical data you need to use OPC Historical Data Access, or OPC HDA). There are three attributes associated with OPC DA. These are; 1. a value, 2. the quality of the value, and 3. a timestamp. The OPC DA specification states that these three attributes have to be returned to an OPC client making a request. Therefore, if the data source is not capable of providing a timestamp, for example, the OPC DA server must create a timestamp.

What is HDA?
This group of standards, created by the OPC Foundation provides COM specifications for communicating data from devices and applications that provide historical data, such as databases. The specifications provides for access to raw, interpolated and aggregate data.
OPC Historical Data Access, also known as OPC HDA, is used to exchange archived process data. This is in contrast to the OPC Data Access  (OPC DA) specification that deals with real-time data. OPC technology is based on the server / client architecture. Therefore, an OPC client, such as a trending application or spreadsheet, can retrieve data from an OPC compliant data source, such as a historian, using OPC HDA.

About OPC Unified Access (UA) Historical Data Access (HDA)

OPC UA HDA is widespread standard, which provides specifications to retrieve and analyze historical process data. This data is typically stored in a process data archive, database, or a remote terminal unit (RTU). You can analyze this data for trending, fault prediction, performance assessment, and so on.
Advantages of Using OPC UA HDA

    With OPC UA HDA, the exchange of historical data between an application and any data archive is consistent. Therefore, OPC UA HDA client applications that implement trends, reports, or spreadsheets can retrieve historical process data from Historian and other OPC UA HDA servers.
    OPC UA HDA is created to allow various advanced automation applications to communicate with one another based on the historical data, regardless of the manufacturer or the platform/programming language on which they have been created. This allows greater flexibility and reliability when setting up automation systems.
    The OPC UA HDA server specification provides a common view of automation information managed by the system for which the server was written.
    Developing OPC UA-compliant applications is simplified because only one I/O interface is required.
    Using OPC-compliant applications increases the flexibility of your automation processes because they can also communicate with devices other than those specified by the applications' developers.
    Multiple OPC UA HDA compliant client applications can communicate with an OPC UA HDA server simultaneously.

===== SAP Integration =====

[[https://www.techtarget.com/searchsap/definition/SAP-MII-SAP-Manufacturing-Integration-and-Intelligence|SAP MII (SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence) ]]



SAP MII (SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence) is an SAP application for synchronizing manufacturing operations with both back-office business processes and standardized data. It functions as a data hub between SAP ERP and operational applications. It also provides analytics and workflow tools for identifying problems in the production process and improving its performance.
How does SAP MII work?

As its name implies, SAP MII consists of two main components. The integration component uses web standards to link SAP ERP and related business applications with plant floor applications. So, for example, Extensible Markup Language (XML) could be used with the Java programming language to include customer relationship management (CRM) with plant floor applications in a consistent user interface (UI). It employs web server technology to extract and aggregate data from multiple sources. It can also be made accessible from a variety of devices. When paired with SAP Plant Connectivity software and run on the HANA in-memory database, SAP MII can help to enable global visibility into manufacturing operations.

The intelligence side is intended to provide real-time analytics of manufacturing operations, using visualization tools and dashboards to show key performance indicators (KPIs) and alerts. Operations managers, business executives, plant employees and suppliers can use these features to make short-term production decisions. SAP MII can also help manage continuous improvement programs, such as Lean Six Sigma.

SAP MII works within a single plant or across multiple plants, connecting manufacturing for optimal supply chain management, as part of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) ecosystem.
SAP MII features

SAP MII uses IIoT, computer-integrated manufacturing and machine-to-machine (M2M) features. SAP MII's features include the following:

    The plant information catalog is used to maintain master data, arrange floor assets in hierarchical structures, and integrate information from various users and sensors.
    Energy monitoring provides monitoring analytics for energy use across different touchpoints within the plant information catalog.
    Manufacturing intelligence analytics supports cross-data store analysis, predictive analytics, statistical process control and big data storage. Role-based and hierarchy-based production data is viewable through customizable dashboards.
    Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Management measures and analyzes plant performance in real time or with historical data. Dashboards with custom KPIs can be built and visualized.
    Business process integration helps create intelligent business processes from enterprise to production. Connections can be integrated with specific devices: control systems, terminals, and other mobile input devices and receivers.

Benefits of SAP MII

Integration of SAP MII can help a plant's manufacturing processes in multiple ways:

    Increased OEE. Equipment downtime, efficiency lapses and quality issues throughout multiple hierarchy levels can be identified relatively quickly and easily.
    Integrated These provide interoperability between multiple shop floor and enterprise resource planning (ERP)/operational applications.
    Process orchestration. Planning, execution, maintenance and quality management processes can be orchestrated on the basis of specific customers.
    Platform universality. This enables rapid adaptation to other manufacturing processes across industries.

Master data is the core data that is essential to operations in a specific business or business unit. The kinds of information treated as master data varies from one industry to another and even from one company to another within the same industry.
