Key Benefits of the eLynx Data Historian

  1. Enhanced Cybersecurity & Access Control
    • Isolated SCADA control to authorized operators only, slashing exposure to cyber threats.
    • Browser-based access for non-control staff, removing the need for local software installations.
  2. Streamlined Alarm Management
    • Shifted non-critical alarms (e.g., routine diagnostics) to the historian, reducing operator distractions.
    • Faster emergency response with fewer false alerts clogging the system.
  3. Self-Service Data for Better Decisions
    • No more waiting on the SCADA team – Engineers and analysts generate custom reports independently.
    • Real-time dashboards for system balance, pressure trends, and asset performance.
  4. Reduced IT Overhead
    • Automatic updates ensure all users have the latest tools without manual patches.
    • Simplified user management with role-based permissions.
