Regular backups in industrial production are complex because modern production systems are made up of a large number of different components from different manufacturers.

With its Octoplant software platform, the global market leader AUVESY-MDT offers tailor-made versioning and OT backups for precisely these problems. It automatically backs up different configuration and programming statuses and makes changes to production systems transparent, even on heterogeneous store floors. This prevents production downtimes and significantly increases the efficiency and safety of production.

Overview of complex processes

Octoplant enables the manufacturer-independent integration of different automation technologies. Reliable end-point management consistently records changes to configurations and project statuses of the operational technology (OT). In this way, the gap between OT in production and IT can be sustainably closed, and automated production is secured in a robust and controllable manner in accordance with high IT standards - regardless of whether PLC, HMI, CNC, SCADA systems or robots are involved.

Octoplant offers the highest compatibility with automation devices from various manufacturers and industries on the global market.

Backups for smooth processes worldwide

With a large number of backup jobs for automation devices, data volumes are generated that are impossible to capture manually. The data management platform backs these up automatically. Versioning enables changes to be monitored and specific standards to be adhered to. At the same time, it also makes security gaps transparent, highlights unforeseen deviations and compiles all information in individually configurable emails.

Data management is server-based on site. The metadata of individual assets can be called up from anywhere and, if required, makes the entire backup status of production transparent worldwide.

In an emergency: disaster recovery

But what if something really goes wrong? Maintenance teams can use the backups to restore the programs to a previous system configuration in the event of a system failure. Octoplant can not only restore the last error-free status in the shortest possible time, but also compare change details with each other.

Around 60 percent of the best-known production companies already rely on AUVESY-MDT and the functions of Octoplant.
