Octoplant
Automatic backup of PLC, CNC, HMI & robot programs
How often do you back up your control system programs?
A production line is rarely an unchanging system. In fact, various devices get added and removed, and production processes get altered, leading to changes to control system programs.
Still, there are many enterprises that back up their control systems irregularly or not at all. In fact, the more often you modify your PLC programs, the more important it is to back them up. It is also essential that new program revisions are described and their authors are known, as those can be a variety of different people – including colleagues, subordinates and suppliers. If, then, a control system fault or failure occurs and you do not have a backup, you lose the PLC program. How much time and money will you have to invest to recover it?
How about purchasing a software application that automatically backs up PLC, CNC, HMI, robot and device programs, and documents? With it, you will quickly find the latest program version and download it to the device.
Automatic PLC program backup is safer than manual backup, as manual backup involves the risk of human error. With automatic backup, you always have a full history of all the recent program changes at your disposal, enabling you to restore the device program to a particular version – and thus safeguarding your plant's operation against such situations as when the PLC program cannot be found or has been overwritten.
The Octoplant program is the result of the merger between AUVESY (VersionDog) and MDT (AutoSave) in 2021. Both VersionDog and AutoSave helped thousands of enterprises to standardise their program backup and version control efforts.
Octoplant is a modular platform for managing and backing up industrial devices and IT systems. The solution can be tailored to the needs of your plant.
