Leading Market Intelligence Program Honors Innovation in Analytics, AI, DataOps and Next-Generation Data Technologies
Washougal, WA – April 16, 2026 – dataPARC, a global leader in industrial data management and analytics software, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Real-Time Analytics Innovation Award” in the 7th annual Data Breakthrough Awards program conducted by Data Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global data technology market today.
dataPARC’s breakthrough platform combines an enterprise data historian with real-time analytics and visualization tools built specifically for process manufacturers. The dataPARC Historian is a full-featured enterprise data historian designed to serve as the backbone of a manufacturer’s operational data infrastructure—competing directly with legacy platforms from AVEVA, Honeywell, and others—while delivering modern architecture, faster performance, and lower total cost of ownership. Paired with PARCview, dataPARC’s real-time analytics and visualization toolkit, the platform gives engineers and operators a shared environment for process troubleshooting, trend analysis, centerlining, batch analytics, dashboards, and operational forecasting.
dataPARC has been building tools for process engineers and operators since 1997, but recent enhancements to the platform have made real-time industrial analytics meaningfully better. A next-generation release of the dataPARC Historian delivered a 10x performance improvement, compatibility with AWS and Azure cloud environments, and an open architecture designed to make it straightforward to export time-series data for use in third-party applications. The platform has also expanded its data connectivity, with broader support for third-party control systems, MES, ERP, quality, and lab systems—allowing manufacturers to bring all of their operational data into a single environment without duplicating storage.
These same improvements have made dataPARC a practical foundation for manufacturers looking to take advantage of AI and machine learning. Because the platform already collects, contextualizes, and serves high-fidelity process data from across the plant, it eliminates much of the data engineering work that typically stands between a manufacturer and a useful predictive model. Recent updates to the dataPARC Historian make it easier to feed operational data into cloud-based AI/ML pipelines, run predictive and anomaly detection models against live process data, and deliver model outputs back to operators in real time. Manufacturers can start getting value from AI without replacing their existing infrastructure—dataPARC connects to what’s already in the plant and makes the data available where it needs to go.
What makes the platform distinctive—and what the Data Breakthrough award recognizes—is that dataPARC delivers engineer-grade analytical depth without sacrificing day-to-day usability. Engineers get high-resolution trending, statistical tools, model integration, event synchronization, and deep troubleshooting views. Operators get an interface built for fast situational awareness, shift-level decision-making, and real-time process monitoring. Both work within the same unified platform, which means organizations spend less time training users on multiple systems and more time actually using data to improve operations.
“dataPARC delivers real-time analytics that are powerful and practical. Every user gets the insights they need, when they need them, all within one platform that increases speed, reduces complexity, and empowers teams to work smarter. We’re thrilled to award dataPARC with the ‘Real-Time Analytics Innovation Award,’” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, Data Breakthrough.
