Atlas connects to your historians, MES, LIMS, CMMS, ERP, and other data systems and applies object-oriented principles and knowledge graphs to the OT world, enabling flexible models that can be used to solve your most complex business problems. With a built-in websocket interface, Atlas itself functions as a Unified Namespace you can subscribe to directly. Learn more
Bridge is a pipeline-driven integration engine that extends Atlas by delivering modeled data to systems that cannot subscribe directly. Learn more
If you need high resolution time series data performance, you can't use SQL. That's why we engineered our historian to use a file-based structure optimized for read and write.
Every data point you store is a data point you keep. We use a purpose-built algorithm to ensure optimal storage without sacrificing data fidelity.
Store what you want to store without worrying about tag licensing limits holding you back.
It's crucial that Operations can own and manage a historian. Timebase makes it easy for you to do just that. Need to estimate your storage footprint? Use our Storage Estimation Tool.
Version 1.2 supports 100k changes per second continously and supports burst beyond 500k.
Need faster performance? Consider upgrading to the High Performance Suite.
The Data Collectors automatically buffer data locally if the connection to the historian is interrupted, ensuring data integrity.
Log data from OPC UA servers, MQTT brokers (JSON or Sparkplug), Inductive Automation Ignition projects, and Telegraf.
Need a collector for a specific protocol or use case? Either contract our team to build the collector for you, or since we have open sourced our Data Collector technology, you can build your own collectors!
Query data as you need it using the well documented REST API. Search for tags. Assign metadata. Call for raw timestamp, value, and quality data points.
The commercially available MCP Server provides you the ability to plug in the LLM or AI agent of your choosing. Test it for free with the current beta release in version 1.2.
Timebase Explorer provides world class trending, or use another tool like Grafana, PowerBI, Ignition Perspective, Flow Software, the choice is yours.
Need to model your data, perform calculations, highlight process events, build KPIs, and dive into deeper analytics? Flow Software has a native connector to the Timebase Historian ready to help with your information management.
We understand that the promise of "free" can often come with hidden strings attached. That's why we want to be crystal clear; when we say the base features of Timebase's historian is free, we mean it. That means you can collect, store, trend, and export time series data without any commercial requirements.
Let's be clear, there are no limitations on the number of tags, users, data queries, or instances you can run. You can record every data value forever, with percision down to 500ms. We are even happy to assist with standard support via our ticketing system at no charge.
On top of the free foundation we offer licensed modules, services, and additional components with commercially available subscriptions for specific verticals, architectures, and business problem use cases.
Bring scale, speed, and unified access to large industrial data sets. The HP Suite spreads telemetry across multiple archives, ties them together as a single logical source, and auto-scales datasets as load increases.
High-priority tags can log as fast as 100 ms, and publish historical results and context to MQTT for downstream analytics and UNS use.
An upgraded REST API means you can aggregate raw data on demand.

Basic support remains complimentary. For a more robust support experience, we offer Premium Support SLAs ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 per year based on scope.
We believe in full transparency about why we are offering the Timebase Time Series Historian for free. Our mission is to provide manufacturers with the tools they need to manage and optimize their data without the burden of costly storage solutions.
While Timebase's basic historian functions, data logging, data storage, and trending are completely free, we also offer additional modules that users can take advantage of to further enhance their data management capabilities.
Some of these modules will have very broad appeal, while others will be highly specialized for particular processes. The majority of these modules will be available for a fair and reasonable price to those who wish to participate.
For example, we offer a High Performance Suite for specific use cases and systems that require more than 300k tags or a higher rate of change and also offer the Timebase AI Gateway, our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Our goal is to offer these advanced tools to help you unlock the full potential of your data and drive innovation and efficiency in your operations.
The team at Flow Software are proud to be the driving force behind the creation of Timebase Historian.
Founded by seasoned system integrators and engineers with decades of experience on the plant floor, Flow Software has always been committed to solving the real-world data challenges faced by manufacturers.
Twenty years ago, we saw the frustration of dealing with expensive, complex, and underperforming data storage solutions—a problem that still persists today. That's why we developed Timebase Historian, to provide a free, reliable, and efficient solution for time series data storage.
Beyond Timebase, Flow Software offers powerful tools that help you do more with your data, from advanced analytics to seamless integration with other systems. Our mission is to empower manufacturers with the data they need to drive innovation, efficiency, and excellence.
