Industry
Full-resolution history. Continuous ingestion. Industrial analytics.
Quasar is the database layer for industrial teams working with process values, equipment telemetry, and high-frequency waveforms. Ingest new observations while querying retained history across assets and facilities.
The Challenge: Managing Industrial Data at Scale
Industrial analytics needs detailed history while new data keeps arriving.
Historians support operational collection, monitoring, and visualization. Analytical workloads may also need deep history and high-frequency signals across many assets or facilities.
Process values and waveforms can end up in separate stores. Bringing them together for analysis adds data movement and integration work.
Predictive maintenance, quality analysis, and energy models depend on usable data: observations, asset context, and a query path that supports feature preparation and investigation.
Keep the historian in its operational role and serve analytical workloads from Quasar. Define how live data, backfills, and corrections move between the systems.
Industrial data for analytics and model development
Georgia-Pacific uses Quasar to support predictive maintenance across its manufacturing operations, bringing sensor data together for asset-health analysis and model development.
Quasar ingests industrial observations, retains numerical values at full fidelity, and makes live and historical data available for queries.
Teams can combine low-frequency process values with high-frequency signals to investigate equipment behavior and prepare inputs for quality, maintenance, and energy models.
The data layer provides:
Detailed history across plants and assets
Continuous ingestion alongside analytical queries
Process values and high-frequency waveforms in one database
SQL and API access for analysis and feature preparation
Lossless compression to reduce the physical storage footprint
Quasar supplies the data storage and query layer. Your analytics tools and applications implement the models, alerts, and operational decisions.
Inspect vibration anomalies and the underlying waveform
Watch bearing-vibration data move from healthy operation to a fault. The application combines incoming waveform samples, RMS indicators, rolling analysis, and historical inspection using data stored in Quasar.

Industrial workloads in practice
Georgia-Pacific: predictive maintenance at scale
The Georgia-Pacific case study describes how Quasar supports asset-health analytics and predictive maintenance across its manufacturing operations.
Retain full-resolution observations
Lossless numerical storage preserves values bit for bit, keeping detailed history available for subsequent analysis.
Analyze low- and high-frequency data together
Process values, equipment telemetry, and high-frequency waveforms can be queried within the same database.
Prepare data for analytical tools
Use the native Quasar query engine and APIs, or the DuckDB SQL path, to prepare and retrieve data for your analytical workflows.
