Platform
We deploy the historian your plant runs on
LCT deploys TDengine Historian — TSDB for the tags, IDMP for asset context — on greenfield sites, on plants whose only archive is the SCADA, and on plants replacing or running beside an existing historian. We wire the ingest, model the assets, build the panels operations work from, and load the manuals and SOPs your people already use.
TDengine TSDB
TDengine TSDB is built for high-ingest industrial and IoT time-series workloads. It provides clustering, replication, stream processing, subscriptions and SQL analytics aimed at operational data rather than general-purpose OLTP databases.
- ✓High-throughput tag ingest from plant and telemetry sources
- ✓Long retention with compression suited to high-frequency plant tags
- ✓Standard SQL access for engineering and application teams
TDengine IDMP
TDengine IDMP contextualises time-series data into asset models, hosts operator panels and reports, and supports events, notifications and analysis tasks — the operational layer we build on your tags.
- ✓Elements, references and attributes for asset context
- ✓Dashboards and panels for operations
- ✓Events, notifications and analysis tasks
System Integrator (SI)Where LCT fits
TDengine is the software. LCT is the South African integrator that puts it on the plant. We take tags from your PLC, SCADA and telemetry, build the asset model, stand up the panels operations work from, and attach the manuals and SOPs you already keep. That is a historian you can run — not an empty download.
Sitting beside an existing historian is a normal path, not a special case. We work across South Africa and Africa.
Typical engagement
A scoped path from first conversation to a production historian.
1. Discover
Tag inventory, retention, the reports you need, and how TDengine will take tags from the PLC/SCADA or telemetry you have today — and sit beside an existing historian if you already have one.
2. Prove
Bounded PoC on your data path — ingest, query, dashboards and a written TCO sketch.
3. Deploy
Production TSDB + IDMP on PLC/SCADA and telemetry — asset models, panels, events and knowledge. If you already have a historian, we can run TDengine beside it.
Book a historian discovery
A discovery conversation covers your tag list, retention, and whether a bounded PoC on your data path is the right next step.
