Proficy Historian Edge: Enable machine-level storage

Edge computing device support
Proficy Historian Edge revolutionizes data collection and storage by residing at the edge device and delivering distributed data collection to support IIoT. Instead of higher level systems polling for device data, Historian Edge nodes push machine data to the plant level, providing a new, more efficient mechanism that includes store and forward.
With its small, cost-effective footprint, the software can sit on many physical IIoT devices and controllers that feed machine data to historians at the plant or enterprise level, which in turn send data to the cloud for analysis and process optimization.
