A Commercial and technical Partnership
Higher Performance
Because we're using the same .NET API, connectivity is faster than ever!
More Security
We don't need to use webservices or other solutions, making the connection much more secure.
Works In Conjuction with SQL
You don’t have to replace one with the other – use both data sources to build your applications as necessary!
Store and Forward
Publish data directly from the field to Canary, as if it was a native historian!
Hot Stand-By
The system updates data automatically – when you publish new data, there’s no need to restart the system!
Local or Remote
The integration works seamlessly with both the Embedded Canary or remote Canary servers.
Connect to your real-time devices!
Tatsoft includes nearly 70 native Communication Drivers in FrameworX including for most PLCs, OPC UA, MQTT, as well as the embedded Canary Historian. There’s no need to create tags in FactoryStudio, you can access Canary Tags and View directly. Tatsoft can create a protocol driver to most real-time data sources and we have an API toolkit so you can create your own if needed.
Leverage your Data
Transform, visualize and analyze your data with FrameworX tools!

Collect data from any FrameworX and FactoryStudio device driver to the embedded Canary Historian with a simple configuration. Once your time-series data is logged to the embedded Canary Historian you can access the data and build simple to complex applications using your familiar FactoryStudio tools.
Easily connect to Any Canary Server
Canary and Tatsoft share a common tag definition and asset modeling
FAQ
Yes! Because the Canary works as a native historian, you can use all the tools we have to make connections securely – which user has access, which data will be allowed to go to Historian, etc. Besides Canary’s own security features, our own security tools will allow you to manage data. The beauty of this integration is that since it’s done on the .NET API level, almost anything can be done inside of FactoryStudio, so you rarely have to do anything inside of Canary.
Besides the built-in functionalities in Canary, we’ve also added our own redundancy features. When you deploy a FactoryStudio project, you can use two redundant servers, and we have the hot stand-by scenario to switch which server is the active one, and that hot stand-by feature can publish data to one or two Canary Historian. So the FactoryStudio application can be redundant. Also, when you define those tag providers, we have the concept of private and back-up – we don’t need to have two live feeds, we have built-in in our configuration the possibility to have a secondary data-source.
Yes, but Canary Historian will need a Windows at the Edge. At Tatsoft we offer a FactoryStudio Edge/Gateway version, which you run without graphics, just as a data collector, that allows you to store and forward to the Canary Historian.
Yes! Our Tatsoft Canary Historian comes with 500 Historian Tags – there’s no extra cost, it’s an extra offering that comes with our FrameworX 9.2 release!
