octoplant – Keep Production Running

Modular software platform octoplant from AUVESY-MDT enables industrial companies to take a comprehensive view of all automation backup processes involving OT and IT. Use it to avoid production downtime and significantly increase manufacturing efficiency and safety.

Reduce plant downtime, Increase Team Time

Industrial plants are becoming more complex with the rising number of industrial IoT devices, sensors, and field devices from various suppliers and service providers, leading to an increase in data points. Around-the-clock operations, reduced setup times, smaller batch sizes, and external challenges like compliance, regulation, and cyber risks further add to this complexity.

AUVESY-MDT’s modular software platform octoplant removes the pressure of manual backups from your team, so you can focus on oversight, problem-solving, and increasing manufacturing efficiency and safety.

Take control with octoplant

octoplant is much more than a successor solution to versiondog and AutoSave version control platforms. The combination of the best of both products and new features ensure data consistency and greater protection in production plants, offering:

octoplant backs up, versions, and compares data from various automation devices like PLCs, robots, HMIs, CNCs, SCADA systems, and more. With version management, plant operators always have access to the current program and can track all changes. Versions can be compared both graphically and in tabular form.

Automated backups save time, reduce errors, and ensure a reliable production environment snapshot. This system works for new, retrofitted, unnetworked, or partially networked plants. Transparent monitoring functions provide important insights into plant status, with email triggers notifying the necessary personnel of any discrepancies.

In an emergency, octoplant quickly resets production systems to a previously functional version, either pattern-based or individual, saving valuable downtime costs. Consistent logging of changes aids troubleshooting and documentation.

For rapid disaster recovery, it can restore the last or earlier system statuses, ensuring you can revert to the last smoothly running program before a malfunction.

The system provides a 360-degree view of a plant by integrating all production and IoT devices. It centrally manages and standardizes programs and configuration data on a platform independent of manufacturers and industry standards. This ensures transparent management of complex information, with a detailed change history showing who made changes, when, where, and why.

The system consolidates data from complex, fragmented production devices into an easy-to-use management platform. Operational data can be exported and connected to existing BI systems. Data from multiple octoplant servers can be linked, evaluated and analyzed. Additionally, octoplant supports significantly more devices on the plant floor than comparable systems.

octoplant enables systematic cyber security implementation and proactive damage prevention. Through comprehensive risk analysis of the entire plant, weak points can be identified and eliminated based on the device inventory.

octoplant facilitates thorough verification of compliance with quality standards, including FDA and GxP requirements. It ensures early error detection and quality assurance by using the four-eye principle within the approval process.

Benefit from excelence

Through automatic backup, customers can rely on a comprehensive data backup of their automated production in case of emergencies. This significantly shortens the duration of a production interruption by providing data immediately for a disaster recovery.

Developers can quickly find the correct version and instantly identify code differences between various program versions without examining the code in detail. Additionally, they can view graphical changes made on the HMI, a feature not available in the original development environment.

octoplant supports customers with transparent data and workflow management to make their operations more efficient, thus effectively increasing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Connecting processes with the enterprise level and synchronizing information from different operational levels creates improved visibility and system integration, providing sustainable efficiency gains and long-term quality.

As part of the security architecture octoplant protects production processes from attacks and prevents damage and production downtime through proactive vulnerability-, change- and risk detection. Proactive protection measures are essential to reduce downtime, errors, and safety hazards.

Consolidated information is more analyzable, enhancing decision-making. BI enables valuable insights and KPI comparisons across different sites and production lines, allowing companies to leverage data for faster and well-founded business decisions.

Integrated documentation and regulatory-compliant workflows ensure reliable and seamless compliance management, reducing risk. With octoplant, be assured the production process meets regulations, is traceable, and can be easily audited when necessary.

Equip employees with operational knowledge

AUVESY-MDT octoplant training

Companies can create tailored production-specific training programs and deliver them to employees for effective knowledge transfer. octoplant provides rapid employee training on new functions and equipment through videos and webcasts.

For shift-based operations and external service providers, it ensures all staff maintain optimal knowledge, especially for infrequent workflows. This improves job skills, reduces queries, and saves time during collaboration.
