Yes — there are several “ops data lake” / industrial data platform patterns and products that can integrate with historian systems and support post-flight fault detection, though the exact fit depends on your environment (aviation/flight test/spacecraft/industrial assets).

Common architecture

Typically the setup is:

  • Historian system as the operational source of truth for time-series telemetry
  • Ingestion/connector layer to extract historian data
  • Ops data lake / lakehouse to store raw + curated telemetry at scale
  • Analytics / ML layer for anomaly detection, fault classification, and event reconstruction

Systems that often integrate with historians

These are commonly used in industrial ops and can be adapted for post-flight analysis:

  • AVEVA PI System / PI Data Archive
    Widely used historian; integrates into cloud/data lake ecosystems via connectors, APIs, and ETL tools.

  • OSIsoft PI + Azure Data Lake / Azure Synapse / Fabric
    A common pattern is moving PI data into Azure-based lakehouse architectures for analytics.

  • AWS IoT SiteWise / AWS Glue / S3-based lakehouse Can ingest historian-like telemetry through connectors or custom pipelines.

  • Databricks Lakehouse Often used as the ops data lake layer; can ingest from PI, OPC UA, MQTT, Kafka, JDBC, REST APIs, etc.

  • Seeq Not a lake itself, but it sits on top of historians and is strong for post-event analytics, fault finding, and contextualized analysis.

  • AspenTech / Emerson / Honeywell industrial analytics stacks These often include historian connectivity and advanced fault detection/diagnostics.

  • Palantir Foundry Can ingest historian data and support operational analytics with strong entity/event modeling.

For post-flight fault detection specifically

You usually want more than simple storage. Look for capabilities like:

  • high-frequency time-series ingestion
  • event marking / flight phase segmentation
  • asset and sensor context modeling
  • synchronization with maintenance logs, fault codes, and test annotations
  • anomaly detection and root-cause workflows
  • replayable timelines and cross-sensor correlation

If you’re in aerospace

For flight/post-flight fault detection, people often combine:

  • a historian or telemetry archive
  • a lakehouse
  • flight test analysis tools
  • streaming + batch ML
  • maintenance/event management systems

Examples of tooling often seen in this space:

  • PI + Databricks
  • PI + Azure Data Lake
  • Splunk for event/log correlation
  • Seeq for fault-oriented time-series analysis
  • custom Python/ML pipelines in a lakehouse

Short answer

Yes: there are ops data lake approaches that integrate with historian systems, but in practice they’re usually historians feeding a lakehouse, not a single product called “ops data lake.” For post-flight fault detection, the strongest solutions are the ones that preserve telemetry context and support event-based analytics.

If you want, I can give you:

  2. an architecture diagram, or
  3. a recommended stack for aerospace/flight-test use cases.
