Course Purpose:

FactoryTalk® Metrics with Historian Classic is a complete, windows-based solution for the analysis of time-series process and production data. In this course, you'll learn to use Historian's data collection and data analysis functions to perform logging, reporting, and viewing of data.

FactoryTalk Metrics builds on the reporting, analysis, and management capabilities of the Historian by providing a set of tools to analyze the performance of production assets. FactoryTalk Metrics provides a performance rating, based on the widely used Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) model, for every production asset. The OEE metric provides a simple way to quickly determine if a production asset is performing adequately.

In this course, you'll also learn to use the reporting, graphing, and querying functionality that make FactoryTalk a complete and very easy-to-use solution for data collection and analysis.
