Video can show multiple variables; speed, distance, rate of change, limits, sequences all simultaneously and unambiguously. Video Historian is a state-of-the-art tool which supplements control system data with quickly accessed, intuitive video.
Without the Longwatch Video Historian, in plant recordings and data collection remain separate. Any correlation between data and video can be lengthy to recover as it must be manually synced between the two.
