VersaCore Historian
Decentralized historian — collect, store, and explore process data at the plant. Affordable. Scalable. On-premises. No forced cloud. No hard limits on tag counts.
Overview
VersaCore Historian is HSI’s decentralized historian for industrial automation. It is built to run on-premises — including on hardware Heiberger Solutions supplies (MC Series controllers) — so you can start historizing process data without a central historian tax or mandatory cloud subscription.
Point-and-click configuration, browser-based trends, OPC UA ingestion, and a secured read-only REST API give operators and integrators usable plant data where it is generated.
Key Benefits
True edge resilience
No single point of failure and no forced cloud dependency. Add edge nodes as you grow.
Decentralized architecture
Each edge instance stores and serves its own process data so performance stays consistent as the system scales.
Scale without trade-offs
Built for scale — from small tag counts to 500,000+ high-frequency process points as your application grows.
Minutes to historizing
Historian Configurator makes setup point-and-click — define the data model visually and go live fast.
Data that is usable
Data Explorer turns time-series into insight — ad-hoc trends, events, filtering, and export on-premises, no client install.
Open industrial path
OPC UA subscription ingestion from CODESYS on device, plus a secured read-only REST API for external plant system integration.
Product Surface
VersaCore Launcher
Unified on-device hub for Data Explorer, Configurator, and related edge services.
Historian Configurator
Sites → Units → Equipment → Tags; OPC UA servers; events & triggers; API keys; updates.
Historian Data Explorer

Historian API Service
Secured read-only REST API for integrators and external plant systems.
Architecture Highlights
- Edge-first stack on industrial IPCs and HSI MC Series controllers
- OPC UA as the standard controller integration path for user-friendly tag configuration
- High-performance time-series storage at the edge
- Buffering so collection continues through short storage hiccups
- Adaptive retention managed from available disk space
- Air-gapped update via Update Portal for signed update bundles — not required for historizing
Typical Applications
- Power generation packages (turbine, BOP, emissions)
- Gas compressors and hybrid / energy-storage plants
- Remote wellheads, pipelines, and distributed assets
- Manufacturing edge gateways and data concentrators
