AMDT protects automotive production by backing up, versioning, monitoring, and recovering the configurations that keep automated lines running - across PLCs, robots, HMIs, drives, and heterogeneous automation environments. Octoplant establishes control at the plant floor; Octovision turns that trusted operational data into enterprise-wide asset, vulnerability, and risk visibility.
In an industry built around tightly synchronized production and unforgiving supply chains, configuration control is production control.
| The stake | The exposure | AMDT's answer | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Production continuity | A failed controller, corrupted configuration, or undocumented change can stop an interconnected line | Automated backup, validated versions, configuration comparison, and fast recovery |
|
|
Change at scale | Launches, model changes, line rebalancing, upgrades, and continuous optimization create thousands of configuration changes | Centralized version control, SmartCompare, change detection, traceability, and known-good states |
|
|
Cyber resilience | Connected OT, legacy systems, remote access, and IT/OT convergence expand the industrial attack surface | Trusted asset data, vulnerability context, change visibility, backup evidence, and recovery readiness |
|
|
Multi-site standardization | Plants inherit different vendors, generations, tools, processes, and local practices | One vendor-agnostic approach to backup, versioning, change, recovery, and enterprise visibility |
|
|
Supplier requirements | OEM requirements increasingly extend security, traceability, quality, and resilience expectations into the supply chain | Automated evidence, change histories, recovery records, asset intelligence, and standardized reporting |
|
|
Lifecycle risk | Long-lived automation equipment coexists with new technology, leaving outdated software and unsupported components in production | Asset, software, firmware, lifecycle, and vulnerability visibility through Octovision |
|
|
Audit & compliance | TISAX, NIS2 and applicable standards/frameworks require demonstrable controls and evidence | Operational records generated continuously through normal backup, change, asset, and risk processes |
A vehicle plant can contain thousands of controllers, robots, drives, HMIs, industrial PCs, and engineering systems from multiple automation generations and vendors. Every launch, model-year change, line rebalancing, optimization, and maintenance intervention creates configuration changes, often under significant time pressure and often involving external integrators.
Octoplant creates the controlled operational baseline: automated backups, version histories, change detection, SmartCompare, and known-good configurations across heterogeneous automation environments. Octovision turns that trusted plant-floor data into an enterprise view of assets, components, backup status, lifecycle, vulnerabilities, and risk across sites.
Automotive OEMs don’t manage production risk in isolation. Security, quality, traceability, and resilience requirements increasingly extend through Tier 1, Tier 2, technology, and integration partners. For suppliers, the ability to demonstrate controlled configurations, recoverable production systems, documented changes, and consistent security practices is becoming part of maintaining customer trust.
AMDT helps create that evidence through normal operations – not through a documentation exercise before the next customer assessment.
Standardize production resilience across plants without forcing every site onto one automation vendor. Gain enterprise visibility into configurations, vulnerabilities, lifecycle, and recovery readiness while local engineering teams keep working with the systems they know.
Keep critical lines recoverable, changes documented, and operational controls visible. Build the resilience and evidence automotive customers increasingly expect from critical suppliers.
