SCADA Historian and Reporting for Water Operations

How to structure historians, trends, and reports so SCADA data supports compliance, troubleshooting, and operational decision-making.

SCADA historian and reporting should answer operational questions: what changed, when did it change, and what was the impact. The goal is audit-ready data that is easy to trust.

We design historians and reports around consistent tags, time sync, and data quality rules so trending and compliance reporting match real equipment behavior.

For utilities, that often means standard reports for flows, totals, chemical feed, pump runtimes, and alarm summaries, plus a clear retention policy and backup strategy.

Key focus areas

  • Tag standards that make trending and reporting reliable
  • Time sync and data quality rules for audit readiness
  • Operational reports aligned to daily and monthly workflows

Implementation checklist

  • Define retention, backup, and restore procedures for historian data
  • Standardize totals, units, and calculation methods across sites
  • Validate reports against field measurements during commissioning
